  1. Note however that you don't get to call something "unintuitive" just because you haven't understood it without reading the code or docs.
  2. Getting exponentially ruder on Stackoverflow. Closing it before something explodes.
  3. @thedailymash has the best response to #CookieLaw: "We've updated our privacy policy, not that you care…" Confirm button says "Whatever".
  4. @RobHP Great post. We had exactly the same experience with Millie - after starting school, she became much more "girly".
  5. Bosnia singer appears to be dressed as a Klingon. #eurovision
  6. Daughter's homework is about split digraphs. Apparently that's what we used to call magic e.
  7. I can't believe I forgot it was #TowelDay. On the bright side, I just booked to see the Hitchhiker's radio show live at Hackney in July.
  8. So, just three emails from recruiters today then. Must be a quiet day for them.
  9. Nice to see @aquamatt @gareth53 @spenoir at DJUGL last night, shame other ex-Global/Glasses folk didn't make it.
  10. Paypal. You have just emailed me purely to tell me that you'll be emailing me soon. Clicking unsubscribe now.
  11. Utter tripe from John Sentamu in the Guardian. "Gay marriage is nothing like racial equality, honest. Why? Because I say it isn't."
  12. Facebook emails me: "you haven't been to Facebook for a few days." Make that three years.
  13. Great post from John Scalzi: "Straight White Male: The Lowest Difficulty Setting There Is" whatever.scalzi.com/2012/05/15/str…
  14. Current status: Leveraging taxonomies.
  15. Using the ast module to parse and walk source code to find where an identifier is defined, to get `gd` working properly in vim. Is that mad?
  16. Just watched someone pour four scoops of sugar onto one of the small variety packs of Bran Flakes. Healthy breakfast: you're doing it wrong.
  17. Just received recruiter spam for a job in Northampton, which is apparently commutable from Houston.
  18. An API I'm using has just raised ExistenceError.
  19. @bengoldacre Strictly speaking, the Queen reigns, not rules.
