I've decided to try out Mastodon. I'm now @[email protected].

@thetrainline Massive thanks for this. I very much appreciated the quick support :-)

[Chris Jenkins @[email protected] @cdpjenkins]

@thetrainline my train, for which I have an Advance ticket, is delayed for an unknown period of time, so I have left the station and returned home. I understand I'm entitled to a refund. Please could you advise me how I can request this. The Trainline app doesn't offer an option.

[Chris Jenkins @[email protected] @cdpjenkins]

@thetrainline I have not received any help via WhatsApp yet. I just got a message telling me that the wait was 911 -1185 minutes. Was hoping to get this wrapped up quicker than that :-)

[Chris Jenkins @[email protected] @cdpjenkins]

@thetrainline Form filled in. Apologies, i eventually managed to file a support request via WhatsApp on the Trainline website (in addition to contacting you here and filling in the above form) + I only require support via one channel. Which channel is most appropriate?

[Chris Jenkins @[email protected] @cdpjenkins]

@jcesarperez Todavía quiero trabajar así.

@ChrisCatalyst are you aware of this person?

He appears to have released an album of covers of Eureka Machines songs from Champion The Underdog. Either that or it's a dodgy AI thing. I don't see any credit for Eureka Machines, so this looks very fishy.

@GingerWildheart we had your version of To Love Somebody as the first dance at our wedding on Saturday. Fantastic song, and you played it even better than the original. Thank you for making the best day of our lives even better.

[Chris Jenkins @[email protected] @cdpjenkins]

@mrbiffo Very nice. What device is that?

[Chris Jenkins @[email protected] @cdpjenkins]

@alexellisuk @Raspberry_Pi @ThePiHut Many thanks for posting this. I've wanted a Pico WH for ages and now I can order one!

(I deleted my previous tweet to you asking where you found it, having finally figured out how to select WH on the Pi Hut website!)

@randomcodingdud @fr33sys A Powermonger remake?

If so, I'd start with adding settlements, then maybe animals, then villagers, then rampaging armies...

@robbowley I confess I did not anticipate LinkedIn being the social network to replace Twitter. But I do see an awful lot of good stuff on there these days.

[Chris Jenkins @[email protected] @cdpjenkins]

@jasongorman Only occasional little bits. Should I sit down and listen to the whole thing?

[Chris Jenkins @[email protected] @cdpjenkins]

@jasongorman That's really good. Not what I expected at all!

(Was expecting something like this: https://t.co/uNJDtxKnFU :-)

@DrDWaterhouse @qikipedia The traditional counting system of the Welsh language, like those of other Celtic languages and like this sheep-counting, is vigesimal, and for example 11 is un ar ddeg. The modern Welsh decimal counting system (where 11 is un deg un) is a relatively recent invention.

[Chris Jenkins @[email protected] @cdpjenkins]

@jasongorman Yeah, I'm really going miss my blue tick, which I was humbled to receive on account of my _services to awesomeness_, but hey ho...

[Chris Jenkins @[email protected] @cdpjenkins]

@DocOnDev One reason for using terminology like technical debt is to make the issue comprehensible to non-technical stakeholders who may not understand the technical details.

Would it be possible to illustrate this by sharing some examples of taking about the actual thing?

[Chris Jenkins @[email protected] @cdpjenkins]

@tottinge This might just be me but I've always kind of hated the syntax.

And, as @tom_a_r_johnson points out in another reply, they don't nest cleanly.

I'm pretty comfortable with if expressions in languages like Kotlin and Lisp, which solve both of the above problems for me.

[Chris Jenkins @[email protected] @cdpjenkins]

@penfriendrocks Many thanks. Hadn't realised Twitter did that :-/

@BuckWoodyMSFT One Indo-European language where the words didn't evolve in quite the same way is Welsh (nos, wyth).

[Chris Jenkins @[email protected] @cdpjenkins]

@BuckWoodyMSFT Looks like the (reconstructed) Proto-Indo-European words for eight (oḱtṓw) and night (nókʷts) are pretty similar to each other. I imagine the two words evolved in similar ways and participated in the same sound shifts in many Indo-European languages.
