I might as well copy @TheRegister in on this thread. El Reg loves this sort of thing.
I get a DM. @partgarfunkel asks did Lionel Blair actually write a musical version of War and Peace in 1972? I’m going to be straight with you: I HAVEN’T GOT A CLUE. Yet… it’s there on his Wikipedia page.

I see Kaseya in the news, and not for a good reason... theguardian.com/technology/2… I've had reason to blog about Kaseya and their SQL permissions before - a long time ago - thelonedba.wordpress.com/201… - I wonder if they've changed their practices since then?

.@ocado - I'm told that your delivery driver app can only handle the return of up to 99 bags at a time... I was told this after handing over a bag of 247 bags! C'mon, guys, we're not in the 1960s any more - there's no excuse for these limitations on data.
