Another Wednesday at @AshfordRepair. Last week I finished up an internet radio and an ancient Apple laptop, this week was something a little different. m.facebook.com/story.php?sto…

My first conference attendance in over two years. Good to be back @stacresearch
This Saturday we'll be opening @AshfordRepair for an extra day as part of the big fix 2022 with other repair cafes across the UK
Cuckoo! ... Cuckoo! Our team got this clock from the Black Forest In Germany ticking, rolling and chirping again, some weeks after arriving in pieces, having tumbled to the floor. Thank you to it's owner for the chance to repair this carving and mechanism.

Replying to @chrisoldwood
@chrisoldwood I think Depeche Mode had it right though. "All I want to do is see you"... "I'll try not to hold you, and I'll try not to kiss you" "And I won't even touch you"
Is anybody else fed up with hearing Sting go on about the need for social distancing? Every time I turn the radio on I hear him saying “don’t stand so close to me”!

Analogue audio FTW. I spent the last two days renovating my Nakamichi RX202E cassette player and frankly, I'm stunned at how good my ancient cassettes still sound.

My 14-year-old daughter brought her computer science GCSE homework to me this weekend. "Daddy, I handed this in on Friday, but I think there are too many lines, can you show me how to make it shorter?" #proudcoderparent
If we wish to count lines of code, we should not regard them as "lines produced" but as "lines spent": the current conventional wisdom is so foolish as to book that count on the wrong side of the ledger. — Edsger W Dijkstra

and at MeetingCPP and ACCU Belfast.... As @blelbach said at ACCU, 1) Acknowledge the problem 2) don't stop until it's fixed (he said it more eloquently though)
Why we all love @blelbach today: promoting @include_cpp on the bottom of every slide and on his t-shirt at #SC19.
This is weird. 3 days ago @ accu in Belfast I spoke about the quantum cryptanalysis threat. I'm clearly entangled with Craig Costello as @TEDTalks published this talk 3 days ago too. (according to Google). So... Don't just take my word for it. #ACCUAutumn ted.com/talks/craig_costello… – at Kennington, England
