one of my favourite terms is "delta". A delta is a set of changes against a baseline. If you write "jam" and then change it to "blue jam", the delta is "blue ".

It's one of those words which saves a WHOLE bunch of other words. And good lord do I love me an opportunity to be concise.

@dave When set of change is set to change

And, in changing, sets the change to set in the set to change and changes the set so that the set is changed and the set of change is now unset with no upset….

And the changed set sets the spec once more and needs no more change to be up to spec or specced up to what’s expected, and the set before the change is now ex-spected

And to change the spec you need to respect the spec of how to use the set of change to change the set that sets the spec

Then welcome…..

Oooooo delta welcome…..

In blue jam (blue jam, blue jam blue jam…)

@moof @quixoticgeek @dave Haha. And here I’m automatically thinking Of Douglas Adams from Mostly Harmless:
“Anything that happens, happens. Anything that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen. Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again. It doesn’t necessarily do it in chronological order, though.”

@cassana @quixoticgeek @dave Nope, this a reference to the late 90s surrealist black humour late night radio 1 show Blue Jam by Chris Morris

@moof @quixoticgeek @dave Ah, haven’t heard of that one before. Thanks for the link. More stuff to listen to.

@cassana @moof @quixoticgeek in case you're unaware, there was also a TV version uust called JAM which is the same threatening, unnerving comedy and very, very good.

A particularly favourite is "suicide with an escape clause" and the classic, the skit which is absolute peak JAM, TV lizards. I have no doubt that TV lizards is on YouTube somewhere if you want to see if it's your thing.
