On another forum, on a quiz thread, I've just had to respond this to some actually quite annoying question on UTC:

I know this somewhere in the back of the old fizzog, but can't be bothered even asking my long-term memory because it's currently singing with sparrows quite far away.

Just a quick note that I've spent more time unemployed than in work over the last seven years, and I only learned I was HEADING UP AN ARCHITECTURE TEAM FOR A GLOBAL PROJECT (ahem, sorry) about two weeks ago.

Oh, and I'm officially disabled because I'm a bit nuts.

So I'm a smidge happy that it's going to plan.

Still the archetypal Dark Side of the Moon reaction, by a composer trying to keep it technical but going a bit off-piste https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q70v4rFHFbg

Normalement je rejoins les appels depuis une chambre dégueue mais une demi-heure avant la grande reunion on m'a dit qu'il fallait activer le camera. Donc j'ai paniqué, tout installé sur l'ordi portable (y compris un tat de conneries Teams et cetera), me suis lave et habillé convenablement, enlevé des saloperies en arrière plan, mis des livres sous l'ordi, et ajouté un peu de floutage. J'étais prèt 30 secondes avant que ca ne commence. Ouf.

Here's the whole album, it's incredible (but a bit less funny than the song above) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x7TvpxqJ8Q

Dude, we all got the same email asking us to do this admin task.

Please don't reply to all in the affirmative in the manner of James Bond unlocking the latest offering from Q.

And then, for the love of God, do not ask for a read receipt 20 minutes later. No one is that important.

My most formtive movie is The 50000 fingers of Dr T from 1954. I probably saw it in 56. the first time.
@Asymmetricblue @shqippy @flargh Dr. Seuss always made me cringe, and I couldn't explain why. I read them to my kids because my husband was a fan, but I couldn't stand him. Then I came to find out that Theodor Geisel's pre-Seuss work included disgustingly racist anti-Japanese cartoons. So, in a way, I guess you could say that Dr. Seuss radicalized me, just not these books.

@shqippy

some people can’t ‘see’ it, but they could hear it in two words or less

@flargh Did I see you decades ago in GameRanger? ;)
@flargh Do you know what Scott Kevil is doing nowadays? I hope I didn't butcher his name.
@longshot fell out of touch some time ago, I'm afraid. False hit on subreddit(?) reporting his death (another Scott Kevill of Australia, turns out)
@flargh Too bad you lost sight of him. He seemed a talented Mac developer back in the day. Always fun to chitchat with someone decades later cya

Also them: I knew it!

@flargh And they know that. It's why they're killing PBS.
@flargh I've seen that meme here and there.
The problem with the conservatives is that they didn't get the joke. They thought Sesame Street was spreading communism and decided to kill Big Bird and Snuffy instead.

@flargh
OH MY GOD YES

I too watched Sesame Street as a child, and have been protesting against the privatization (i.e. theft) of the USPS!

@flargh who radicalized me …. it started with Dr. Seuss “I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”
@flargh Thus why the Republicans eliminated the budget for Sesame Street. It radicalized our children with messages like "be nice to one another" and "everybody is worth something." #gop
