Tweeting occasional fluff because Twitter isn't good for serious stuff.
Still convinced that Brexit was a terrible idea.

Not posting here much (using another network). However, an update on Pygenda (my #Psion Agenda-like app for Linux PDAs). Many new features (zoom!) & UI refinements

@blakeleynixon I would think a country's "independence" (whatever that means) might depend in some way on its financial power.
[And, yes, I also remember some of the Leave campaign pushing the idea that there would be *more* money to spend on things.]

I've released a new version of my Psion Agenda-inspired "Pygenda" app. Developing it for my Linux-running Gemini PDA, but it should run on other Linux PDAs with Python3.5+ (eg Cosmo Communicator). Work-in-progress!

@Godmil @mjrobbins I thought about the question for a bit and then just answered 60+. Mainly because I suspect that plenty of modern electronics needs some info about its temperature, even if the user can't see it.

[Matt Lewis @_mattl]

@JoBrodie @mjrobbins Which is probably Martin's point. Loads of electronics have some sort of temperature sensor, because temperature is important for their correct (+ safe!) functioning. I'm now thinking about my rechargable batteries: how are they protected from over-heating?

[Matt Lewis @_mattl]

@JoBrodie @mjrobbins I would guess the most desktops/laptops you own have at least one temperature sensor. On PCs you can generally go into the BIOS and see CPU temperature - protects them from overheating. Possibly true of modern mobile phones too, but value is not exposed to user.

I recently had a thermal imaging survey done of my house, to help us prioritise our budget on the best things to do to help keep our home warm. Here��s some of what we found: 🧵

@charlesarthur Yes, the Iron Age did end at different times in different places. See Wikipedia: https://t.co/8huIlwZreI "In Central and Western Europe, the Roman conquests of the 1st century BC serve as marking for the end of the Iron Age."

@Psythor Getting a NN to write something "in the style of Trump" is pretty low-hanging fruit: there are lots of parodies to copy, it doesn't need to be factually correct, it doesn't need to be self-consistent or even logically coherent.

@Thumbsuk @JonnElledge *Cough* Actually, I think you'll find that Endor was a moon, not a planet...

@Psythor This comes from the original film: Leia was a senator, Peter Cushing said the Emperor had dissolved the Senate, we had discussion about maintaining control without the bureaucracy. This was a transition to a more authoritarian system & the Death Star was seen as helping with that

@Psythor When I first visited SF and people talked about the cable car, I was looking up in the sky to try to spot one.

I hope the emoticon in this tweet means "Obviously, it's because my timeline isn't a representative sample". I fear it might have been intended to mean "Twitter is manipulating the trending list to suit its own agenda".

[Kit Yates @Kit_Yates_Maths]

Yesterday I saw more tweets in my timeline about #Mastodon than about any other subject.

Wonder why it isn't trending on twitter?😜

[Matt Lewis @_mattl]

Changed my Twitter settings to "Show latest tweets" - I don't want to be shown things from 11 whole minutes ago

Newspaper social media promotes fake account to followers. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏻‍��️🤦🏼

@fakehistoryhunt The Hitchens brothers?

@anon_opin The account needs to be renamed "Listen, interior designers..."
