The happiest day was when I deleted Twitter off my phone...it's a cess pool of political hate.

I can't even chop a branch off a tree without council approval, how is this MoFo allowed to tear down arguably the most important building in America willy nilly?? Why is the White House not some kind of National Trust entity, protected for future generations? Maddening, and I'm not even American!

Testing, testing...1...2..3

No ATProtocol library being used, just testing some ChatGPT code that generated a Ktor client that did the post above.

Also playing with Koog, trying to see if there is some use-case I can solve by mixing a few things together.

Same in Australia, AusPost have sent us a similar email. I've had to update my Etsy store to notify customers that due to the incompetent policies of the current US president, no more parcels for you! Maybe Americans with friends in Canada or Mexico can ask them to make purchases on their behalf.

Not to be confused with the equally fine, but smaller Penguin.

The perfect biscuit doesn't exist??? I present to you the humble TimTam. Its perfect! It can be used for dunking, but can _also_ be used as a straw. Did I mention its also made of chocolate?!

I'm not based in the US, but how do people get chosen for test screenings? You should do a test screening here in Sydney!

The real crime are those who take the tube from Leicester square to Covent garden...and other similarly short routes. It takes longer to go down the escalator etc than it does to just walk it, and the walk is so much nicer.

@jetbrains.com and @kotlinlang.org can we get some support in making Kotlin a 1st party language for Godot. There is already an open source project starting this work, can we get a boost please?

I assume you're talking more than just screenshot comparison testing with a tool like Paparazzi.

I don't know if "Street library" is the official name here in Australia, but we have those here too.

Had a Dec Term on my desk at work when I left Uni. Worked on Vax and Alpha mainframes for Reuters doing their millennium compliance.

I wrote my Uni project using Java 1.0.2...a huge leap from Pascal which I'd used till that point. From memory there was no IDE, which I struggled with having been so used to visually creating UIs before. I think I might have that code on a Zip drive somewhere, would be "interesting" too review it 😬.
