Software engineer, musician, cyclist: not necessarily in that order. Although working at IBM my views are my own.

Visited @RedStagsMorris earlier this week - wonder if they are still active on here?

[Alasdair Paton @PatonAJ]

@yarnimals @blowzabella Haha! Triangle gives it away

[Alasdair Paton @PatonAJ]

@yarnimals Oooooh! Lovely

[Alasdair Paton @PatonAJ]

@LeveretBand Bass Hornpipe! (Though they are all good, to be honest)

[Alasdair Paton @PatonAJ]

@LeveretBand Really excited for this - will there be copies on the autumn tour?

[Alasdair Paton @PatonAJ]

A beautiful and unexpected surprise on the radio tonight!
Definitely worth a listen again.

@sweeneyfiddle Always knew you had excellent taste

[Alasdair Paton @PatonAJ]

@willharmonica @jennbutterworth @ConcertedAgency @JaneBrace @sidmouthfolk @WOMADfestival @MusicportFest @RocknReelR2 @guyachambers @folkandhoney @TheFolkForecast @FirstOriginalM1 My preordered copy just arrived - it's just beautiful, full of good things!

[Alasdair Paton @PatonAJ]

@sweeneyfiddle @BossMorris_ Just seen the video elsewhere and spotted the owl straight away! Looks a load of fun.

[Alasdair Paton @PatonAJ]

I'm going to see how much of this I can get into my next presentation. (Or maybe make a bingo card from it?)

[Forrest Brazeal @forrestbrazeal]

good morning and welcome to 2023

@AndroidPolice Again 1password, moved there after the breach at LastPass (but was already using for work)

[Alasdair Paton @PatonAJ]

@amgarratt Yep, join the club! I should put a taxi meter on mine and charge by the minute

[Alasdair Paton @PatonAJ]

@CDarkseason @YorkshireTea The @YorkshireTea leaf tea is standard issue in my house (and very nice too)

[Alasdair Paton @PatonAJ]

@amgarratt Hope you feel better soon!

[Alasdair Paton @PatonAJ]

Season's greetings to all.

[Threatening Music Notation @ThreatNotation]

I’m gonna lose it

[Alasdair Paton @PatonAJ]

@amgarratt That seems ridiculous - I'm sure there must be some good easter-eggs in there to make it so big.

[Alasdair Paton @PatonAJ]

This is a must read for techies. So much useful material in there, and in a very digestible form.

@JACollier1 @_julietelliott I also have a pair of these and have been very pleased. Good on and off road, and easy to walk in too, if you don't mind something that looks like a walking boot!

[Alasdair Paton @PatonAJ]

@shaundai Oh this is just gold. Definitely trying tomorrow!

[Alasdair Paton @PatonAJ]

A bit heretical, but this did amuse me a lot.

I asked an AI to write a Bible song about ducks and I'm laughing so hard now I can't breathe
