Does anyone have details for a complaints department for @lenovo_UKI ? Their "premium care onsite warranty" is turning into an advert for any-other-vendor

Developer's dilemma: when your compiled code runs perfectly on the first try and you're not sure whether to feel proud or suspicious.

just had a knock on the door from a very polite young person canvassing on behalf of the conservatives - great to see people like them getting involved. Not sure that "too many Tories" was the local issue they were looking for though.

Just spent 3 hours debugging an xpath query - turns out that '=>' and '>=' are not equivalent (that'll teach me not to blindly transcribe my workings out into #MIMWAL!)

I ASK EVERYONE WHO SEES THIS TWEET TO PLEASE RT IT. Tomorrow nurses strike. They will be put through hell by the media, politicians and the establishment. Ahead of the action please share this tweet if you back the nurses and find it sickening that they are being vilified.

Enough of the political games, let's pay our nurses what they're asking for - it's a fraction of what they're worth and we should be grateful for everything they do for us. factual strike info can be found here: tinyurl.com/2tuckr8n along with how to help #NursesStrike

As a nurse... I'm striking for fair pay. I'm striking to protect my patients. I'm striking to save the NHS. I'm striking as a last resort. Please give us a follow if you support striking NHS workers #SocialistSunday 💙

Now is not the time for neutrality. On one side is the most corrupt government in our history. On the other side is a movement of people trying to save the NHS. I back the nurses. Where do you stand? #SOSNHS #NursesStrike

Did you adopt a cat called Bart from @Battersea_ Cats Home in 2011? If you did, please get in touch. I am tracing all four cats that might have become the Downing Street cat, a job that ultimately went to Larry. thetimes.co.uk/article/intro… teapaw.org/messages/compose?recip…

'Be More Resilient'. As a psychologist, it was a surprise to me when parents started telling me how much they hated the word 'resilience'. To me it sounded like a good word, an empowering one. Not to them. Here's what they tell me. (with @_MissingTheMark) 1/

Trip home from hell last night - motorway closed in two places and satnav sent me up over the dark & remote back roads about 1am where I was stopped by @Durhampolice for "driving hesitantly" - nice people, checked in to make sure I was safe & well or if I needed help
