Some of those final books before Sanderson took over... Robert Jordan, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO WEIRD ABOUT BOOBS? I swear Nyneave's Overexposed Bosom was a whole character all to itself in one of the books...

There's a bunch of stuff, but I'm most mad that they did Egwene so dirty. If you wanted to kill a main character, PERRIN WAS RIGHT THERE!

There are two auto parts stores very close to me, so after having gone back to the first one once, I decided to go to the second place to hide my shame

(The answer to that one is *four*)🫣

Also, every time I went there I thought it was the last time...

010

Tim Aidley @tim.aidley.com · 29/09/2026

That would have been the smart move, but I have two auto parts stores five minutes walk away from me and I never drive such short distances.

Tim Aidley @tim.aidley.com · 29/09/2026

The *real* question is: "How many times does the Software Engineer have to go to the auto parts store before he comes back with the correct light bulb?"

Tim Aidley @tim.aidley.com · 29/09/2026

I'm happy to report that the answer is one. However, that's the answer to the wrong question.

Tim Aidley @tim.aidley.com · 29/09/2026

One of the turn signals / indicators on our car needed its light changing, so I thought it would be a good idea to answer the old question: "How many Software Engineers does it take to change a light bulb?".

Congratulations on your launch! I'm on android, and I have downloaded one of my comics, hoping to view it on a bigger screen, but I don't see the files anywhere - If I click on backups, it gets me to the Android file browser, but I don't see anything there either. Where can I find the files?

I also used to really enjoy the process of designing spaceships and robots and aeroplanes using their rules.

My memory of playing that game was that most characters ended up being in their 50s or 60s because you tended to end up with more money and skills if you did that, but you didn't want to go on too long as you started losing stats to aging

I couldn't understand why the Warsaw one looked like a robot...

Picture of the Warsaw pedestrian symbol. It is green, but coincidentally the four dots that the Bluesky app draws over the picture to denote you have several to scroll through goes directly over its head, making it look very robotty.

Wow, that's fantastic - I never knew all the magazine CDs it got put on, so seeing this is a real treat. Thanks for showing me, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

In 1999/2000 I wrote a WWI aerial combat game along with a couple of colleagues, and called 'Hunt for the Red Baron'. I've always had a soft spot for it, and I've finally got a port of it that runs in the browser; have a look here: tim.aidley.com/projects/hun... Best played with mouse and keyboard

Hunt for the Red Baron - Resurrected!

Over a period of around 9 months in 1999/2000, I wrote a WWI aerial combat game. You can now play it live in a browser!

I think 20yr old me would be pretty pleased, but (and IIRC correctly this might depend on whether it was early or late 20) very concerned that I appeared to be a godless heathen.

I've not listened to the video, but I assume that when he talks about it getting copied, he's talking about the software instructing the model rather than the model itself.

I did use this at work once when we were doing a 'planning week' with our team that was spread across the US and Canada. I didn't find it all that helpful. There was something fun about designing the little rooms, but that was about it.

I feel like with whetstones it takes a while to get to that 'I'm no longer fucking up my knife' stage. I didn't feel like I was getting there so I got one of those ones with the mini whetstone on a sliding rod.
