@cat hope they aren't too dire

My new keyboard arriived on Monday and all week it's felt like being very drunk and trying to type, to the point I'm using a typing teacher website to attempt to actually get confident and proficient with it.

It's very geared around the classic 10 finger touch typing method (with a little modification since it uses thumb clusters for many meta and modifier keys)

I'm definitely improving but it's slow going and quite frustrating at times

A hill I will die on: If your app asks me "Tell us what you think of our app", and saying yes opens the app store review page, you are lying to me. Feedback and public reviews are absolutely not the same thing.

I don't mind if you ask me to leave a review, but if you ask me for feedback, and you mean leave a public review, I will have a bad view of your company or app

With my need for a new keyboard, I know the fashion is for half size keyboards, but I really like the numpad and arrow keys. Thankfully there's a solution!

My new half size keyboard with all my favourite keys!

Library dependency version specifiers aren't for fixing vulnerabilities

Let's say you are the maintainer of a Python library that depends on another Python library like “urllib3”. Because you want to make sure users receive a compatible version of urllib3 you add a ve...

Keyboard died....ordered a new one....not arriving for 7 to 10 days. I'm sadly relegated to "keyboards that make my wrists hurt" in the meantime. Not ideal

Having a night where I'm missing going out to see live bands loads around London. So many brilliant gigs seeing the likes of Kyrb Grinder, The Spindle Sect, Black Iris, Elephant 12. Not to mention the bestest band of all Mötley Künst! (I might be slightly biased there!)

I'm so glad I bought their CDs and EPs back then and can listen to them tonight
