Molly Painter @onlymollyknows.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

If anyone's interested, I'm now a podcast co-host. On Tech Film Noir, we look into films about computer tech of all sorts. The latest episode is about cult 80s classic Weird Science, which seriously divided opinion among us! Find out how by catching us on your podcast provider of choice

No, French, Italian & Latin are my chosen romance languages. I speak at #NdcPorto once in a while, so I really ought to make the effort to learn some Portuguese one of these days!

Molly Painter @onlymollyknows.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I still want to learn it one day, but sadly ive had to drop it for now. :( I'm keeping myself to a more sane 6 languages I'm currently learning!

Lol! It sort of does now. If there's ever a 2nd printing, I'll ask @oreilly.bsky.social to fix it!

I'm a bit of a fan of the @hdtgm.bsky.social podcast, but I'm a few films behind atm. Tonight's catch-up film was an 80s-tastic skateboarding film.

Busy bank holiday weekend, mostly spending time with the kids. Last night I finished by catching up with the latest @hdtgm.bsky.social film - Mind Hunters. Have to say, this one was pretty bad

Molly Painter @onlymollyknows.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

There's something very wrong with the UK. How is it you can get a multipack of pickled onion monster munch, but not the spicy ones!!!

Molly Painter @onlymollyknows.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

Ok, I'm almost certainly going to regret this, but I've added Japanese to the list of languages I'm learning. What could _possibly_ go wrong. It's only one of the most complex languages in the world....

Thank Dog. Doctor Who is coming back Christmas 2026. I was worried we were looking at another cancellation. Nice to know it isn't the end

Molly Painter @onlymollyknows.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

My oldest is off school ill today, so we're watching The Truman Show together. Great film, but it feels like there was a version of this that could have been super dark. All of Truman's friends & family are just paid actors. That's a pretty grim thought.

If anyone ever wanted confirmation that I'm an utter nerd - I just did my morning run, while listening to a BBC radio 4 program about statistics!!

Molly Painter @onlymollyknows.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

I'm watching the new series of #DoctorWho with my daughters. We've reached The Smowmen. I love the matt smith Christmas specials. That's the doctor written 100% as a "magic time wizard". My youngest made this fan art:

Anyone know much about embroidery? I've got a kit I'm planning to do, but it's pretty complicated looking. I'm not sure what order to do the colours in!

Anyone going to @bsidesncl.bsky.social know if there's a social happening tonight?

Molly Painter @onlymollyknows.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

I'm off up to my family's ancestral home in Geordieland today for @bsidesncl.bsky.social . It's going to be an amazing event, but it won't be complete for me without pease pudding and stottie cake!

Molly Painter @onlymollyknows.bsky.social · 24/09/2025

Ooh. I can't wait!! I've played a few Inkle games & loved all of them so far

Molly Painter @onlymollyknows.bsky.social · 24/09/2025

I'm enjoying it so far. Bit like The Chants of Sennar, but more story driven

Molly Painter @onlymollyknows.bsky.social · 24/09/2025

It's new computer game time. I finish finished Disco Elysium, which was absolutely incredible. Now I'm going for @inkle.co studio's Heaven's Vault, which - as a language nerd- looks like it's going to be right up my street!

For anyone interested in some functional code & retro computing, I'll be speaking at @dotnetnorth.bsky.social in Manchester tomorrow

Gonna be honest- after a shaky start last series, this one's been pretty solid.

Tonight's film - the 1994 Wynona Ryder version of Little Women. Watched it with my oldest daughter. Was very good, but we both prefer the recent Greta Gerwig version.

Nice! Thanks! I wonder if it even works on modern computers

Anyone else remember the computer game Pandora's Box from the late 90s? I'm a little sad it's not available anywhere at all any more.

Don't you ever get fed up of code failures in production? The infamous Null Reference Exception alone must be responsible for a large percentage of production issues.

Just caught up with s2 of #DoctorWho. Quality of writing seems to have gone up rhus series. I especially liked Lux. I'm just hoping the finale isn't a let down, though

Molly Painter @onlymollyknows.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

for anyone interested, I will not only be speaking at @techorama.bsky.social next month, but I'll also be giving a workshop on how you can stop unhandled exceptions from ever occurring in production! I'd be grateful if anyone would be kind enough to repost this. Thanks! techorama.be/workshops/wr...
