TSM at WorkI think my #professional #accomplishment for the day was resisting the #temptation to use Slavic #expletives to label undesirable end states in a #graphviz diagram of a process.

lobster 🦞Dear Friends of #swearing at ones #computer,
I hear #Cantonese is best for this. However as an #imaginary #aquatic and C #critter, I tend to blow bubbles in my human form. 😇

Beach sewage inspections to be scaled back — The Times and The Sunday Times
The Environment Agency has told its officials to cut back on inspections of bathing water pollution incidents and rely instead on water company assessments. England has more than 400 designated bathing waters from beaches to lakes in the Cotswolds and The Serpentine river in London. However, some are regularly hit by sewage spills including those that have plagued the Isle of Wight, a Cornish cove and beaches along the southeast coast in recent weeks.
