#Facepalm. The #NSW #gov provides "digital licenses" which depend on a proprietary app you can only install via the #Apple or #Google stores. https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/get-started-digital-licences -

I hate being the last person to leave at #work, knowing that everything has to be just so for the person who is the first to arrive at 5:30am and all the people who depend on them. It's "Oh my god, I left the oven on!" anxiety times ten. -

Oh Jeeze. Nostalgia. I can almost smell the shag pile carpet dessicating by the glow of the three-bar radiator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fex1b7axXl0 #TV #60s #70s -

@clacke I'm always cursing the minimum four-keystroke (off the home keys) fix that could be instantaneous. Maybe it's just me. I must have a weird sense of rhythm or something. Someone should look into Late-Descending Finger Syndrome. -

@andyc Try asking whether Lenin was a socialist. _Then_ you'll get an argument. -

Ctrl-T, as used in the #GNU readline library is insanely handy for the fast but indextrous typist. I don't know why it's not a universal convention. (If you're not familiar with it, type 'abdc' in #bash, then hit Ctrl-T.) -

Turns out I'm either chaotic good or lawful neutral. Not sure how I feel about that. https://boingboing.net/2019/08/13/email-sign-off-alignment-chart.html -

Small pay packet from last week, and another shift canceled today. The lean winter months, when the nation's appetite for corn chips and caffeinated sugar drinks temporarily abates. #work -

I am second to nobody in my admiration for MacKenzie Crook, but Pertwee's are big shoes to fill. https://www.bleedingcool.com/2019/06/06/worzel-gummidge-mackenzie-crook-as-bbcs-talking-scarecrow/ -

#RIP Paul Darrow. Let's see… how to put this politely… A magnetic screen presence and consummate professional. Never let his colleagues take on too much of the burden of carrying the scene. https://www.bleedingcool.com/2019/06/04/pauldarrow-blakes7-passes/ -

'“#Chernobyl” can be considered the best political film of our times because it illuminates a core problem of the #Trump era: the nonstop jackhammer of falsehoods that are drowning out what’s true. The risk is that Americans who are inundated with moral rubbish from the White House and Fox News may lose the will to care about the difference between right and wrong, echoing what happened in the Soviet Union. When everything becomes gray and sluggish, there is no battle worth fighting.' https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/29225 -

Been 30 years since the end of classic #DrWho. Cut down a couple of years into a potential new golden age by Thatcherite #BBC management hell-bent on outsourcing to independent production companies everything that wasn't nailed down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3u-ia1wfGI -

@tregeagle But that's where you've fallen into my big data monetisation trap. I now know who you are and where you live, which - granted - I already knew. But I also now know what your interests are. Which… Damn. I just need to find some way to get this sucker to scale before I IPO.
