I write this as someone who just offered some colleagues about to work on a looks-simple-but-actually-tricky thing a session to go through its history.

I don't remember the specifics of that episode but Abe Simpson under the tree could be dispensing wisdom as well as telling tales.

Which would make crazy golf a decoy or disinformation service... It's all starting to fit together.

Yeah, that stall has always smelled of bullshit.
Have you been to the stalls on South Quay? They are much better, imho.

They are fantastic beasts. I particularly love the Teddy Boy look.

I remember when - back in 2001 - a colleague tipped me off to use Google instead of Yahoo! or whatever, and it was transformative.

It is possible that I'm being a purist on this point.

It's a good list. I would add Google Search. The vanilla experience is pretty much unusable now.

Mural is good for layout and collaborative editing, but I usually export it to .pdf or .pptx.

I prefer a webpage as the canonical version because it's public and because I dislike Powerpoint. Slides are what the people (stakeholders) want though. But are they a want or a need?

Maybe the poster predates Register with a GP?
comment in response to

NHSD/NHSE does provide this service. This is the 'official' NHS service for registering with the GP in Terence's blog post: gp-registration.nhs.uk/G85136/gpreg...
It's not clear to me why the GP is not pointing people towards this instead.

It's not obvious why that QR code points to the URI that it does. You can register with this health centre via this service that's on the nhs.uk TLD: gp-registration.nhs.uk/G85136/gpreg...

That game looks fun. BGG often has fan-written alternative rules or clarifications but it shouldn't come to that.

Ha ha! Which one prompted this post? There are some dreadful ones out there, and I like to skim read which makes things even worse.

I'll bet. Go easy on the red meat and other iron-containing foods.

How many people get struck each year? I bet it's not that many.

He was on quite a streak leading up to that protest. He was really starting to flower

I hadn't considered the canonical source thing.
But I don't see how auto reg leads to a breakdown of one MP per constituency. I can see how it leads to differently shaped and sized constituencies but that's a pretty common change.
comment in response to
post
I like automatic voter registration because it forces realignment of electoral boundaries around actual population rather than just registered voters, and MAYBE encourages more people to vote.
I dislike mandatory voting because I don't like being told I HAVE to do something.

I can only do 2 days but it's a struggle to decide which 2. I think Thu-Fri is better for me but there's a talk called Freaky Thinking on Wednesday.

As is typical for conference and festival programming, my thing clashes with another thing I'd love to attend. This is like Super Furry Animals vs Radiohead at Glastonbury 2003 all over again.

The version I heard is that while Christopher Wren et al were contemplating a European-style grids-and-boulevards replacement, Londoners simply rushed back in, rebuilt their old houses in their old sites and decided things for themselves.

Are you aware it's World Cocktail Day? I was expecting a Negroni.

It's a mixed picture on that front, tbh.
comment in response to
post
I think the main reason we don't talk about it is because it's a bit boring and potentially embarrassing. I sometimes think about maintaining a list of things I've stopped (in progress stuff as well as ideas that never saw the light of day) but have never been sufficiently motivated to do it.

That made me snort-laugh, which is double-proof that I am now an old man.

Wait, do the kids no longer do these? Where do they store their GCSE certificates?

That's incredible. Until now, I have been thinking of the man at the other end (Jaiswal) as India's new young hope. He's 23 - nine years older than Vaibhav.

Great post, Irina. I was nodding my head throughout.

If you want to read more this BBC story from a few years ago is a good place to start: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...
I can also recommend the book The battle for Kinder Scout by Benny Rothman and others.

Limits are good though. They force you to either prioritise what you care about or get creative to work around them.

There was a short-lived service called This Is My Jam that allowed you to choose one song per day as your status update. Maximum one song. I often think about that.
comment in response to
post
It's not published. But in a nutshell, feasibility and desirability turned out to be a lot lower than we thought so we decided to focus on something else instead.

I love seeing Brunner referenced in the wild. Underrated author.
