Thanks, if they're over-loaded, not to worry, I just wanted to see what help I can provide in this parish (and more nationally with my tech stuff).

@sheffgreenparty.bsky.social - who can I chat to about us who live in Stannington. I was emailing/speaking to Maz, but no replies for weeks, so wondering if there's someone else.

That means our bills are going up again, sharply next year.

It's because those people have not read the book the film is based on.

Yes, they messed with the group for the US audience; however, it's still got some greatness. I love Nemo's car for example.

Both are very underrated, I think. But Big Trouble is 100 levels of awesome, and Temple of Doom has some excellent pulp action.

Look up Jofra Archer, an English fast right-arm bowler.

I'm hoping for NZ, they are normally not so lucky in finals. However, just a good close solid game would be great.

Very rude, Jofra would be most upset.

Would you only sell things priced at 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 intervals?

Software tends to follow the 80/20 split, and both parts take the same amount of time.

This is why a lot of bugs are released in software, as they rush the 20% split time!

Getting old sucks when your body needs to repair itself, just takes time fella. Soz.

Gotta love it when the work is 'done', and then it's the polishing time. That stage takes as long as the building stage! But great progress, and thanks for posting it.

You are lucky you have found something, I venture off from coding often, but not found my thing that I can use to occupy myself.

I used to draw (pencil/ink) a lot when I was younger, but in school I could either draw or code, I wanted both but couldn't.

In my decade past career, I was behind writing some of the UI/front-end work for those self-service machines and always felt they were awful and flaky and just not really needed for a good number of shoppers. But here we are, some shops have nothing but them!

Plaque to honour Sheffield tree felling protesters unveiled The plaque honours campaigners who fought to save thousands of trees over a five-year period.

This is good to see, but a small step in undoing the damage to the people of Sheffield during those years of tree-felling conflict.

I read the report last year and was surprised, but not shocked, at the level the Council protected itself and its actions.

Pack of 5 isn't enough, make it a pack of 50 and then we have plenty for years of playing!

I can help with that, if you want to come to the CS. We are desperate for GOOD people.

We do a LOT of admin, it's the CS, the back of the CS is admin. I desperately need someone to take a lot of the Admin from me, so i can do what I'm paid to do.

We have apprenticeships as well, open to people wanting a career change, and I do think you could be a Product Manager.

Terry Prachetts - Pyramids.

Even though it's been 37 years, I can still remember passages from the book, such as when Teppic puts on all of his gear and then slowly falls over.

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency - when the tower is described and then it's mentioned there's a horse in the room

Spent my entire work day in meetings, and one of those meetings was telling us how a 3rd party is going to show us how to build software using AI.

The head of our section quite rightly asked, 'Why are we allowing a 3rd party to decide on how we use AI, shouldn't that be decided by us'.
