Sometimes painting toy soldiers. Sometimes writing software. Always trying to please my feline overlords.

@WillardFoxton Oils vary by deity they worship? Green for the dirty ones, blue/yellow for the brainy ones, purple for the… erm… excessive ones…

@jamonholmgren @jamonholmgren one good reason could be the bias of Tim’s social circles. He probably knows lots of 15+ year googlers, but maybe not so many 1/2+ year ones who are also being let go?

@jamonholmgren @ReactNativeRdio have you already got speakers for @ChainReactConf or are you doing a call for submissions?

We launched an engineering blog 🎉. Here's an article I wrote about using OpenAPI at @CountingupHQ . https://t.co/ssf2NMtftX

Always fun to see an interpolation failure in your email booking response… at least I hope it’s just an interpolation error in the email… 😬

@wellingtonsteve @mishagriffiths @nicholsonj @Mr_Peeks @shivapande Late reply, but was also not there. Anything fun come up?

Huh. It’s missing Tasmania.

@Bass_Wakil @WillardFoxton I assume he followed the outburst by casting his (full) glass of spirits into the roaring fireplace for full effect.

Pet hate: coding examples that use imports but do not show the import.

Particularly frustrating in #TypeScript and #javascript. See this often with #ReactJS 3rd party libraries.

Go on, throw your pet hates back at me. I can take ‘em.

@WillardFoxton I'm imagining an agent that only hawks bad talent in this case. The agent wears comedy 'Stan' from monkey island Checked Pirate Jacket and deffo has a cigar in their mouth at all times. Wakes up with it there.

@Bass_Wakil @WillardFoxton Just the normal number @Bass_Wakil. 3 and the Christmas Special.

@MichaelVirks @SashaBilton @WillardFoxton @Wyrd_Science @IllusionTerrain You know how cathode rays used to work, firing one dot at a time at different areas of the screen surface fast enough that humans see pictures?

For some reason, I think that’s be a cool mechanism to use for something like this.

Totally unnecessary, but would be fun.

@WillardFoxton Sorry @WillardFoxton I may have supplied some of those dastardly dwarves…

@WillardFoxton Well thirteen years later I’m still getting those Best Army nominations (and still not winning 😝) - but this time the army was finished before the first game began!

It seems my game playing has improved, as we did win our ‘best in class’ award at the AoS Doubles too!

Some golden oldies there such as “Write your own adventure programs”. Fun to flick through.

@SashaBilton I figure this might tickle your fancy.

[Paul McCabe @BileWinters]

@BassimStory I’ve really enjoyed listening to what’s been up so far. I love that you talk about and to a variety of writers - musical, screen, novel, code - as it made it more accessible to me. Which I think is what you wanted?

[Paul McCabe @BileWinters]

@Baconbrix fetch calls that respect ‘do not follow redirect’ instructions…

[Paul McCabe @BileWinters]

It's the first app I considered high enough quality that I'm charging for it. I really hope you'll consider trying it out and supporting me in this!

Constructive feedback welcome!

[Paul McCabe @BileWinters]

I promised over a month ago I'd post something both Developer and Wargaming relevant. Well here it is!

I've just released an app that helps managing stuff like stratagems. Check it out:

I've been using it for #AdeptusTitanicus #AT2018 personally.
