My 8-year-old asked me "In Spanish, I need to use an upside-down interrobang at the start of the sentence‽" (I assume the answer is yes!)
A little while later, I thought to check whether Unicode defines a codepoint for an inverted interrobang. Yup: ‽ = U+203D, ⸘ = U+2E18. Nice.
(And yet we don't have codepoints to differentiate between single-bar and double-bar "cifrão" dollar signs...)

Last year, a colleague introduced me to lazygit, a TUI git client with a wealth of value-added features.
Somehow, though, my favourite feature is the animation you see if you nuke the working tree. 😘 Excellent.

A picture is worth a thousand words.
This is why it's really important to write good alt text.

The final weekend of my sabbatical was spent, like the first one, at a Three Rings event. As a side activity to the volunteer work, everybody was asked to put their name on a paper plate and leave it on a particular table, allowing others to semi-anonymously add compliments, thanks, or kind words about its owner.
Comments on my plate:
Fabulous. I might wall-mount it.

Yesterday, @fleeblewidget and I made the first ever attempt at a geohashing expedition in Trinidad & Tobago, successfully finding a hashpoint in Chase Village in the West of Trinidad!

My partner @fleeblewidget and I met in #Wales (where I lived for a decade) 20+ years ago.
This week, we're enjoying a romantic getaway in #TrinidadAndTobago, 7,000km (and an ocean) of #travel away.
So imagine our surprise when we book a #snorkeling / #turtle-spotting boat trip only to find ourselves aboard the "Cariad" (Welsh for "love" 💕), captained by perhaps the #Caribbean's biggest cymruphile!
Such #serendipity makes it feel like a #smallWorld.

After driving 300 (vertical) metres up a terrifyingly winding road, we find ourself at 'Top if the World', one of Tobago's highest points. Being able to look down the steep sides of this long-extinct volcano to the sea on both sides is quite spectacular, and the Caribbean and Atlantic horizons seem so far away that you can almost believe you're seeing the Earth curve.
My camera fails to do this view justice.

The Nylon Pool is a sandbar in the Buccoo Reef, off the coast of Tobago. Despite the distance from the shore, it's only about waist-deep. Truly mind-boggling.

Came half way around the world to find a surprising boat with a non-English name I understand.
("Cariad" is Welsh for "love")

A couple of hours into our ferry journey, we just got our first glimpse of the island of Tobago, where we'll be staying for the next few days.
