The indignity of using trello and being given a numbered username (currently `@murraysteele5`) is compounded by the fact I’m pretty sure I was murrays steele 1, 2, 3 & 4 under previous incarnations of my job

🤔 : listen to individual songs
🧠 : listen to full albums to understand the song as part of a wider piece of work
🌌 : listen to entire artist back catalogues to _really_ understand the song as part of an artistic vision across a complete lifetime of work

While watching something on prime video all the ads I see are for gambling sites or cars. This says _something_ about amazon, the gambling industry and the car industry. It’s so off base it might even say something about Amazon’s shitty ad targeting tech too.

I think my mediaeval knight costume is pretty period accurate, given the materials at hand. #ReadyToLARP

Well, I’ve given it about a month, but I don’t think I can deal with how unfinished zed is as a daily editor. Gonna have to find something else. Is now the time for me to finally get into vim or emacs ?

(Probably not, I do like a desktop UI and use the mouse a lot)

Look at what we lost! I knew the Beeching cuts were big but had no idea until I could see it all on this map. I guess at least we got some nice long distance paths out of it 🤷

Our 6th talk at our Feb meeting on Monday 9th (that’s this coming Monday!) will be:

* “Shayk.online - anonymous chat with Sinatra and websockets” by Eleanor McHugh (@feyeleanor)

There’s still room for a couple more, and at this late stage you can use “I wrote this over the weekend” to garner sympathy and good will from the audience. Fancy it? Get in touch on [email protected] and we’ll book you in.
