In Star Trek TNG there’s an episode where loads of enterprise d’s appear from parallel universes, there’s one ship that’s all fucked up and smashed and exploding and that versions Riker is screaming “we won’t go back!!” and I feel like that’s our universe

Also, why be an MVP anymore when you can just watch all the latest updates come in posted by MVPs 🤣. Keep it up everyone! I’m learning a lot

I would have liked to be at #FabCon this year, not so much the tech but just to catch up with folk. But things change, as do priorities. I spent tonight with a hot air gun scraping paint from stairs….

Chatting to a mate about his lad saving up £100 over the last few months to buy FC27 (I think it’s a football game…) and thinking “that’s insane!” and then remembering the cost of games in the early 90s… £50 for NES Gremlins 2… that’s £115 in today’s money 😳

I can’t remember the last time I thought a game was a masterpiece…probably the original Final Fantasy VII (Yeah VI story is also really good). This remake/rebirth is outstanding #FinalFantasy

The number of apologists in this thread is insane… It’s simple, don’t market your product as limitless when there are clear limits (yes I was in the Synapse Analytics trenches). Be clear about your ability to provide your services and people will understand. Limit at creation time and people won’t…

I’ve never used DAMA-DMBOK in any data projects, and after 25 years in data not sure I’m ever going to. The principles just seem to be “common concepts” in data anyway, what makes DAMA special? i find myself once again looking through materials and thinking “ok…so?” dama.org/dmbok2r-info...

I was explaining to my kids how certain effects were used in films where the action is performed in reverse then the film is reversed (eg facehugger in Aliens on ripleys face). We did a practical with a crocodile where we dragged it backwards… I should have been a filmmaker

Is there a reason that open mirroring in Fabric isn’t being shouted from the rooftops? Free ingestion and the power to do it any way you want? Are there folk out their championing open mirroring?

There’s a little tourist roadtrain that goes past our holiday cottage and everytime we’re sat outside and it goes past we wave. And in my head I sing “Give it a wave! Give it a wave! Give it a wave now!” to the Chilli Peppers tune…

I REALLY love that most DIY is spent hunched over in a back-breaking position because stood up or even slightly bent over with a straight back? Nope can‘t reach down far enough…. Kneel down? Not enough leverage there…
