I'm unlikely to ever be a professor again, but if it happens, I'd like to develop a course called "storytelling for software engineers".

Above you can see the receipt @yashar sent me when I did this test with him. Be careful using PayPal Twitter Tip Jar — this is a hallmark of PayPal rather than Twitter of course but it impacts Twitter users who may not know that their address is leaked by PayPal to tip receivers.

@simongerrans @antmccrossan thank you for the wonderful 3-week of Tour de France stage by stage commentary. Really enjoyed your coverage!

@simongerrans how does the tour organizer get the real time speed of Doumoulin and Yates up the Grand Colombier on the real-time race broadcast just now ?

In 2002 I was working in Amazon’s retail division. We were organized by department - books, CDs, electronics, etc - and a separate dept for products sold by 3rd parties. Then Bezos decided 3rd party should appear next to 1st party on the same product page. Here’s what happened:

@EdelkopfYossi Give you taste: 2 brothers on the board own 70% of the condos and had lawsuits against each other...etc. Totally non-ideal situation but I knew this before buying. And this property is one of my best performing assets. Your milage may vary - always balance between risk and reward

@EdelkopfYossi I own 3 condos - 2 in AUS and 1 in US. Your condo board callouts rings true for one of my condos overseas (Problems 2, 3, 4, 5, 8) and I have experienced enough human dramas that Hollywood can make a movie out of.

@EdelkopfYossi Thanks for sharing your experience on condos. I would muddy the water by saying condos are great for personal use and investment 🙂. It all comes down to LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION and hire a good conveyancer for due diligence. @LBacaj

@LBacaj @TryGhost I’m going to give it a whirl. Have been on Blogger like forever and don’t like my recent authoring experience. Going to see if there’s an easy migration path.

@YT_Industries I'm been looking for the size spec for Thirstmaster 4000. Could you let me know if the mount is universal (ie does it work with any road bike) and the how tall is the water bottle?

Uhhhh - research before you donate

This is brilliant. Exactly what government comms should be doing & isn’t.

Another interesting anecdote: apparently the NHS considers WhatsApp secure enough to be allowed for medical use. E.g. a first responder may take a quick photo of a wound with a smartphone, and send it to the consultant to get their opinion.

Interesting meeting today with people working on electronic medical records (e.g. patient referrals). This seems like an area in which better software is much needed, and where better software could have a real tangible positive impact on lives (e.g. reducing waiting times).
