I have a top quality cold right now, so I’m not going to go see the Konosuba movie on Thursday; I hope you appreciate this anime fans - I won’t be coughing through that movie for your benefit.

Reminder

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace is 20 years old now.

Children conceived in those theatres are now old enough to drink alcohol and drive cars in the UK.

Following on from this, I do believe I have found a way to turn these lumens into real-enough-to-spend money via a service called Wirex. Time will tell if this is a good idea or not.

@Gargron did you see Mastodon got a mention on BBC news?

Have you ever stopped to think about how it feels to hold an object using tentacles?

It's cool that Gmail now tries to explain why it's marked emails as important.

Unfortunately, lately it's been marking emails as important "because you frequently read emails with the label *inbox*".

Yes I almost always read the emails in the label inbox. That is true. Yes.

@Gargron first appears in episode 9 of Granblue Fantasy: The Animation

I hope this works...

I took my car to have some bodywork done. The salesperson lent me their car for the day. Time to set up the stereo to rickroll them when I give it back...

Look, I'm not trying to imply that someone should sue someone, but it does look like Splinter Cell predicted the iPhone 11 camera over a decade ago

What a perfect way to start a Friday.

Guess who gets to spend the weekend doing diagnostics...

😒

Does this mean the machine has taken over my job?

I'm going to install the English (Australia) voice pack, to see if Cortana speaks with an Australian accent.

Another new feature makes the "switch input language" hotkey [Start + Space] always work -- even after you remove all hotkeys from this function.

It's never been easier to switch to en-US input language no matter how hard you try not to.

Yes I did just pour a bag of sherbert into a cup of tea, what's your point?

Windows 10 1903 updates adds the feature to always switch you to en-US input language and keyboard layout even after you remove the en-US language from your computer.

Overheard: Carrots are like crack for horses.

Me on Sunday morning: nice, I can finally sleep in.

Smoke alarm with low battery: let me sing you the song of my people.

I first realised that computers had become central to my life when I was at uni and I tried to press CTRL + Z to undo a mistake I made on a pad of paper.

Today I realised that touchscreen computing is now central to my life after I tried to scroll the text on a cardboard box by swiping it.
