I got introduced to heardle a few years back. The game on the day I got in 1s. A year or so after that I discovered @Britpopple and have been playing ever since. Today that first heardle came up on Britpopple :-)

@timb_machine Something where I wanted to run data to get a formatted date stamp to write a log file for each timed run. Had to escape the % in the date format string as they are newline in a crontab.

[Richard Dean @deanx]

So, turns out % is a special character in a crontab file. Who knew? Well, vi did, should have trusted its syntax highlighting.

Ctrl-a d, my old friend, I’d forgotten about you but glad you’re still around. You are muscle memory, just like :wq

Seems to be the season for our team to be publishing frameworks, so we wanted to point out our research governance framework. Started in the Portcullis days, it's had a freshen up with some changes suggested by @deanx around value:

Just been to #GiveBlood at the new Brixton Donor centre. Great new site, with friendly staff.

@t100triathlon typo on your London 2025 booking page for the sprint distance run?

[Richard Dean @deanx]

@ian_rutson 6 looks like the biggest UK inaugural Saturday too. A couple of them in 2019. Still a long way from the biggest global at 17. These numbers are really impressive and I’m in awe at all the good work you guys at #parkrun do.

[Richard Dean @deanx]

@JustWatch @DrBenLovell Ah, interesting, thanks for the tip. I’d assumed the default view would give me full availability cover.

[Richard Dean @deanx]

@DrBenLovell Actually, you can get all 3 series on Apple TV. @JustWatch info is incorrect :-(

[Richard Dean @deanx]

@DrBenLovell https://t.co/ytYtSoy4As is your friend to answer questions like this. As many have already stated, Apple TV, but only 1 of the 3 seasons.

Any idea what’s going on with the kids play equipment in Burgess park? The woodland area was taped off yesterday and bits are tied back near Chumleigh gardens. @BurgessPk

[Richard Dean @deanx]

@Timheming Also any commentary on the 2nd and 3rd GB places. Or none needed as it’s expected to match the Cagliari / current ranking results?

[Richard Dean @deanx]

Really happy with the @OutnAbout_UK Nipper Sport Double v5 I’ve been running with the last couple of weekends. Unfortunately the mesh pocket netting has been rubbing on the tyre so now has a hole. Any suggestions on fixing?

The wording is better on the more information page. “You need to have known the applicant, or the person making the application personally for at least 2 years”.

[Richard Dean @deanx]

@HM_Passport you seem to be asking that I find someone who has know my 6 month old child for 2 years.

[Richard Dean @deanx]

So, today I did a thing that felt like it had meaning and purpose. All the young people talking had incredible stories and I hope the improvements asked for have the impact needed.

@AnnaFeuchtwang @Rachel_deSouza @ChildrensComm @AshleyDalton_MP @UKLabour @timloughton @Conservatives @munirawilson @LibDems @CroydonRiaPatel @TheGreenParty @Become1992 A dad brings his baby to the lectern to ask for early years support to focus on improving parent / child attachment rather than just getting parents back to work. #Appgchildren
