I'm pulling up stakes and henceforth I'll be:

@zedlopez

If you're following me now, you should end up automagically following me there after I do all the move-your-account things later today.

@wmodes Inform's the only platform I have experience with. But TADS is a popular choice for people who want a capable system with a more traditional language.

A thing I have actually thought while on Tinder: jeez, why are all these women in San Francisco?

Yeah, why would such a conspicuous plurality all be in the most densely populated part of my search radius? It's a mystery.

@[email protected] I did it before the purge started in earnest. For zedlopez, I think the request was 10/25 and it was ready about 24 hours later. For the much smaller-volume inform7tips, I requested it on something like 10/30 and it took more than 48 hours.

Got around to trying @timhutton 's https://github.com/timhutton/twitter-archive-parser

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says

Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.
