@ross I once put an order in for the tonic (ti escapade variant) before realising I hadn’t paid off the escapade yet so couldn’t use a cycle to work scheme for the tonic. The one that got away…

@ross can you explain the key differences between Cascade and escapade? Besides no drop bars. It’s too subtle for me!

@ross yep!

New fork arrived! #cycling

@zhenech @jpmens neat hack :)

My first #AudioMo toot: the first sound I created from scratch on my new synthesiser

@rivets thank you :)

@argv_minus_one my general perspective has been to use wireless charging to prolong the life of the phone port, but I wonder about the relative cost difference from the less efficient charging and if that’s enough to offset phone life by some amount

Passed with minor corrections!

@m @mwl yeah. My long term experience is Perl and ruby are fine; python not so much

@neil cheers!

Viva today!

@cameron_bosch @neal the bizarre, idiosyncratic and rich variety of WMs (and other stuff) was what hooked me on Linux, back in the 90s

@m @mwl counter-anecdote: I picked up maintaining a perl codebase last year, after at least 10 years off, and it was refreshingly still-working

I haven’t noticed whatever this big outage is and I feel that means I must be doing *something* right.

@elmiko OMG

@algernon once upon a time one could tune Qt apps to resemble gtk ones (or vice versa). Is that a possibility?
