Very little #cricket on here, probably for perfectly sensible reasons, but this was a belting example of the wonderfulness of the County championship. And not just because Lancashire won. Mainly that, but not just that. bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/660376

Tried the latest version of the #GNOME #Crosswords app today, and it finally lets me pre-select a bunch of English cryptic crosswords #puzzles, even though my dad's #Fedora #Linux computer is in French.
