I think I'm going to scan these. They seem quite fragile.

Found these among my books in the storage unit. I used to read these in fascination when I was 8-14 years old. Probably bought at Tandy in Birmingham or Bedford in England by my Dad and I "nicked" them (probably with strong encouragement) after he read them! 🤣

Autism is not an excuse for disgraceful behaviour. I was always taught Fascist salutes are disgraceful behaviour.

Made an idiotic mistake driving at Shannonbridge @ 12:55. I let a white van bully that had been tailgating since Birr pressure me into overtaking a large group of cyclists at an inappropriate place. I had to move into their safety area between the pack and leads to avoid a collision. Terrified myself and probably them too. I can't believe I was so fucking stupid. ☹️

Apologies to my fellow cyclists @irishcycle 😔.

The next person who advocates that "Perforce is more user friendly than Git and better for artists." to my face will get a custard pie in response. It really isn't any different to any other VCS is terms of complexity and arguing that it is "user friendly" compared to git is just lies.

Turns out the person who asked me to review this tax calculation code genuinely had never heard of this problem before. He's accepted my reasons for highlighting it. Unfortunately it's going to take a while to refactor.

JFC please don't use floating point types for calculating financial transactions or storing monetary values. I just got asked to review some code by someone and it is the first thing I spotted.

Regarding the Korean aeroplane crash, why the hell was there a concrete barrier at the end of the runway? Did understand this from the first report. I thought modern airports have arrestor pits and it seems insane to me a heavy concrete barrier would be authorised at the end of the runway.

I think I will start donating to Wikipedia again. I used to donate €5 a month. Wikipedia has its problems like any organisation, but it is a noble project and doesn't deserve the attacks it experiences.

Ooh, nice, I think I will try this distro out now! I have been eyeing it for a while.

Question: Is it immoral or unethical to support or recommend candidates for the board of a non profit organisation to members of the organisation as an existing board member? I'm being accused of inappropriate behaviour in the opinion of another board member over this. I can't see any moral or ethical reason why this is wrong, indeed I have found examples where it is normal. It's a free and open election by members and the candidates are all public and unrelated to me.

Just installed Endeavor OS on a new work laptop (I have permission to do this). I think this will be my default distro from now on. It's very, very close to Vanilla Arch, but installation is far less time consuming.

If the Social Democrats think going into government with FFG is a good idea they're going to lose a lot of support. A large, solid and effective opposition block with modern Sinn Féin would be better and might be the best election campaign for the next few years. Remember what Fianna Fáil did to us all in 2008 - especially if you were in your mid twenties back then.
