   @tregeagle Blimey, that's depressing. I've had six lives, yet none of them has left any lasting impression.

   @kat Happy birthday. I turned 0x30 this year. I like ticking off the round numbers at a more civilised pace.

   Long day at #work today (i.e. 7 hours - What? Is that not exceptional?). I feel tired in a virtuous, hardworking way, but it really cuts into my drinking time.

    The wonderful thing about 70s/80s #TV is the way hair gets shorter whenever somebody goes outdoors. It's easier working around problems encountered while filming on location by modifying what's later recorded on tape in studio than vice versa, so location filming is always done first.

    #Listening to an ill-conceived collaboration between Ravi Shankar and Yehudi Menuhin. Jeez, I hope this album bought them each a boat, so that at least some good came of it.

    @smithums Nope. Despite having Stephanie Kelton on his campaign team, and therefore knowing better, #Bernie has (like Jeremy #Corbyn) to date publicly remained a staunch money-grows-on-rich-people fiscal conservative. So full employment isn't possible until we make wealthy people wealthy enough to a) employ the unemployed, or b) be taxed, the (false) prerequisite for the gove…

    Happy 30th birthday year to the World Wide Web. Who'd have guessed it would grow into what it is today; an otherwise disused last mile, connecting users to AOL/Compuserve - whoops, I mean Google/Facebook. https://www.w3.org/History/1989/proposal.html

    I don't mind that Gary Trudeau is now only doing a Sunday #Doonesbury, while the syndicate runs repeats through the week. Who needs the cognitive overhead of enjoying things for the first time? https://www.comicsrss.com/rssitemcontent/2019-03-12/a8a97870219801378747005056a9545d.html

    Could not design a library like this in #AU. That much sunlight would mean covers bleaching, glue crumbling, books falling to pieces. Not to mention an astronomical air conditioning bill. https://larspsyll.wordpress.com/2019/03/12/one-of-my-favourite-libraries/

    Wow. Don't print to file from the #GIMP. I don't know what cruft it's putting in to turn a 1MB JPEG into a 7MB #PDF, but I can do without it.

    Blimey. Just checked my #work roster for next week. Nine days straight (at least) from tomorrow.
