I wrote a program to lipsync the shipping forecast in a terminal window, and I have no regrets.

THE BIGGEST NEWS! Rob and I are offering up a hand-signed hardback, first edition/first printing copy of Monstrous Regiment straight from the Pratchett archives. Those who know the story will know why it’s a pertinent one for this cause.

News! Wee Free Men, Thief of Time and Monstrous Regiment are being adapted into graphic novels with Transworld and Puffin. I’m word wrangling on WFM, and Gary Chudleigh and Rachael Stott are adapting ToT. Exciting times!

It’s not mentioned in the press release, but I have done a fair bit of previous work in comics, creating stories for DC, Dark Horse, Marvel, Dynamite and Kodansha.

I'm still recovering from surgery. I haven't even started #adventofcyber yet. I'll probably give it another week and then start catching up.

Almost looks like a review war for Secure Custom Fields https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/secure-custom-fields/reviews/

Though I have to imagine that most 5 stars are from people unaware of Advanced Custom Fields or WP Engine.

Driving was not a good idea. That was an unpleasant experience and the prescription won't even be ready until tomorrow.

Just over a week on from surgery and I'm finally getting my independence back. Yay!

I'm mobile. I can get up and down the stairs. I can wash and cook without help. I'm going to try driving to the chemist today to pick up my prescription.

I'm so happy to be able to do things for myself again, but can someone please help me tie my shoelaces? 🥺

This isn't a QoL tool for users. It's a marketing tool for Amazon. It's going to come up with ludicrous summaries and Amazon will be banking on that. It'll generate comment and publicity as people share and see for themselves what nonsense it spouts.

Amazon’s Prime Video is getting a new generative AI-powered feature, X-Ray Recaps, to help catch you up on the show that you’re watching.
