Better Simple
@jiji nice pen rests!

My favourite piece of internet today is the theory that Jesus was actually a type of yeast.

Turns water into wine
Floats on water
Makes bread for 5000 people
Put in a cave for 3 days and lo - he has risen!
Jesus was a sourdough starter.

Also this would imply: We should be calling him 'Mother' not 'Father'

@myNameIsT your buildings are wonky

There are two problems in computer science:

1. We could do this better
2. We should not do this at all

@gregatron5 just `avgtool bump` in the CLI when I want to increment it, nothing fancy!
@adamghill it used to stop you creating any more at 500, so that’s an improvement I guess!
@robb not having a clue this was going on today, we had a lovely day in Old Portsmouth! Driving back along the M27, though, and there’s at least two police officers on every bridge across the motorway… presumably to protect the coaches of Southampton fans on their way home later…

I wrote a blog post about why we in the photography space *still* complain about Apple's Aperture going away over a decade later.

It was a *really* good app.

Daniel Kennett - A Lament For Aperture, The App We'll Never Get Over Losing

I'm an old Mac-head at heart, and I've been using Macs since the mid 1990s (the first Mac I used was an LC II with System 7.1 installed on it). I don't tend to think that the computing experience was better in the olden days — sure, there's a thing to be said about the simplicity of older software, but most of my fondness for those days is nostalgia. An exception to that, however, is Apple's Aperture.

Good Morning, Artemis II.
