"A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to."
Really?
The greatest trick that wizards ever pulled was convincing the world that they had good time management skills...
Also note how they translated "when" to "where-"
Conversation in the car with my kids (9 yrs old) this morning, on the way to the swimming pool:
"Is 7racii famous?"
"No, hardly anyone has heard the music."
"Why is she so unappreciated?"
"When did you learn the word 'unappreciated'?"

Note my clever deflection on the second question.
Thanks PMYSL! Tracy is very appreciative.
Mildly glitchy electropop...

Whenever I get a notification from my mobile phone provider, insurer, power company, or rubbish collection service that "your monthly fees will change," they always go up.
It's not always up, though.When my bank informs me that "the interest rate on your deposits will change," it always goes down.
I'm sure spending six hours writing an indexing extension for LibreOffice was worth it, as I am up to the letter R.
Whereas without the indexing extension, I would be finished by now.
First draft of the Smart Contract Innovation book is done. 60k words, 215 pages. I'm waiting for the proofs, and then I can start indexing.
Launch date is tentatively the last Thursday of January.
After a year of pulling at the same threads from different angles, I’m turning the work into a book.
The working title is "Smart Contract Innovation"
I accidentally entered my birth year as 971 on this platform, and now I can't work out where to correct it.
How would it feel if being to the left made it scroll faster, and to the right made it slower? Would that be counter-intuitive, or would it give you more time to respond to things coming from the right?
Is Cloudflare down again? Preply.com had a Cloudflare 500 error, and so does Downdetector.com ...
Fun pop quiz: identify the blockchain by the MetaMask ETH icon for its native cryptocurrency.
Approaching 35k words and 125 pages for my latest book. Looks like I'm on target to having the first draft ready to work on over the Christmas vacation.

Why does the “Remember me” login checkbox never seem to do anything? It certainly never causes me to be remembered.
One of the most useful things I've bought in the last half year is a little 1920x400 resolution screen that I keep a Linux terminal active in at all times.

Also Tom, Tommy. The latter is the longest one I've found.
Ah, there is an O, and I used it before...
Zuxy? Also, Is there an O?

Here's a better challenge: what valid names can you make with the remaining letters?
Whenever I want to learn a new coding framework or tool, I always turn to a simple game idea. I've always found that coding up a game is usually the best way to learn something new.
We're on Windows 11, and there's still no simple way to keep the user space, software install space, and operating system on separate drives without hacking the registry or adding some kind of xml file before creating users?
I decided to bite the bullet and get a second-hand iphone, and sign up as an Apple Developer. It was surprisingly painless to get my Android Expo app working on iOS.
Once again, I'm waiting for an app store to approve the results.

I thought the whole point of going with #Apple was that the expense is offset by being able to avoid crap like this:
An answer to the question: why does an autonomous #AI need its own bank account, and how can we provide one?
