I worked on a bunch of improvements to #MLforKids over Christmas.
Last night, I went back and wrote a rambling stream-of-consciousness post about the thinking that went into one of them (addressing error reports from resource constrained browsers)
Bought a combination lock as the local pool has done away with keys for lockers. It was only when I got out the water, I realised I couldn't read the numbers without my glasses...
I imagine they have someone with a strong sense of irony sticking the 'do not bend' labels on after putting the photos in the cardboard tube!
Looks like I'll be needing an alternative to Pocket (and its Kobo integration)
The motorist who took the trouble to wind their window down and shout "use the cycle path" to me in Otterborne this morning, might like to consider why there are pictures of bikes painted on the road. Opposite the White Horse, the designated cycle route is on the road, not on the pavement.
I'm not convinced my current Lightroom usage warrants paying the 50% hike in Adobe subscription. Any recommendations for alternatives based on functionality and ease of migration?
It's typical that, having opted to take no extra time when changing jobs because the weather is always rubbish this time of year, there's nothing but sunshine in the forecast!
Generally good advice, though
So long as the drink tastes good, does it matter?!
As a remote worker, I'm making the effort to head to London for the office Christmas party, even if it is a miserable evening!
Cross their fingers? Pray?
I've never got to the point with Rust where I've felt productive
I can imagine! Think I've tried Java, Python, Go, and Kotlin, of which Kotlin is definitely my favourite.
Decided that I will share my Advent of Code answers this year, at least until lack of time and/or professional pride changes my mind! github.com/davidcurrie/...
Thanks to guidance from the support team at krystal.io, email forwarding from a domain hosted with them to Gmail is now working again. An interesting lesson in DMARC, DKIM, and SPF for me!
A very wet Club Champs near Camberley. Felt like a long middle distance event with 30 controls in 8.8km.
And so begins another Advent of Code. A nice gentle start.
Happy Thanksgiving! Once upon a time, that meant a quiet day at work, but I have very few US colleagues/customers at the moment.
If you feel yourself dozing off after your morning's exertions, you can't beat a Corps of Drums to keep you awake!
Survived the Stinger! Felt pretty good to start with, but I lost a few places as I tired towards the end. Thanks to the marshals who will have got soaked when the heavens opened as we made to leave.
And the race is on! Well, I say race... I'll be happy to make it round in one piece!
Having had a cold most of the past week, part of me definitely hopes that I wake up in the morning to discover tomorrow's race has been cancelled.
That's awesome, Dale. And now you have those benefits in writing if you ever question whether it's worth the effort!
Love hearing the full force of the string section in the County Youth Orchestra (and the brass were ok, too!). Something entirely different tomorrow with the Spitfires Children's Concert 14thspitfires.sumupstore.com
