Busy weekend. I don't think I have any other plans... I've not been on the ice in ages, so I thought I'd keep my options open. I doubt I can do the full length of these sessions, but I'll certainly try to make a dent. #iceskating

Is there any reason to buy the FLAC? Will my ears ever be good enough to spot the difference? It's not that much more expensive, but is it just setting fire to the money? #music

An album that costs £8.99 for the 320kbps MP3 but £11.99 for the 16-bit FLAC.

I got a picture with four of the five #Nottingham Ice Centre companies. They were all lined up nicely for me. My favourite one is just out of shot though, unfortunately!

Saltbox, National Merchandise, National Catering, and Motorpoint Arena are all owned by Nottingham Ice Centre, which is owned by City Council.

A `git diff` patch showing an attempt to change a Dockerfile to run a "CMD". A second change is visible where it's clear that the command was being ignored due to a line in the docker-compse.yml.
