@wookieemark you need another cat.

@Surasanji @Mrfunkedude an old friend has gone and that’s always hard.

@ajroach42 a computer science professor at university of york always did just that. He collects big old machines. He’s recently got an old Elliot machine working again that has a loudspeaker to listen to the processor for debugging. So slow you can hear when it goes wrong.

I've recently noticed almost all of my toots which should contain the word "than", instead says "that". I blame my phone, which has also decided that when I write "did" what I really wanted was "didn't" which somewhat changes the meaning.

This is the kind of news we need. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-lancashire-45536348/magpie-and-whippet-s-unlikely-friendship

@NeadReport hey fellow drummer. Welcome.

@aaroncolichia it’s tough. I think it’s ok to be angry/frustrated but how that works out is key. Recently is the first time I’ve been at odds with my folks. A balanced conversation has brought them much closer to my way of thinking that a tantrum that could let them see me (and their other kids) as... well, kids.

@earfolds it’s weird getting fit for the first time in late 30s.... who am I kidding, early 40s. Definitely takes longer that people who used to have a decent base level.

@thomasfuchs I know a chap with this collection: http://www.computermuseum.org.uk/

I think my favourite is Marconi TAC. No ICs in this 60s computer and the cabinets are huge. None of your standard racks here, these are much taller.

The Art Deco Bank of Ireland building in Belfast is absolutely superb. It stands empty, which is a real shame.

I've inadvertently started listening to an album on shuffle and the 'wrong' track coming on second has unsettled me sufficiently that I've had to go and do something else for a bit.
