Heck - slack threads would probably be adaptable for replies

[Dick Wall (@[email protected]) @dickwall]

Someone else must have had this idea already, but say, slack gets in to the mastodon space (as a premium option for, ooo, $8 a month) and provides you with a section of federated mastodon channels

[Dick Wall (@[email protected]) @dickwall]

I mean, most of the existing mechanisms would work, e.g. you add someone to one of your mastodon channels by @ mentioning their mastodon name, I don't underestimate the eng work to achieve this, but how often to opportunities like this come along?

@dpp @rit @_JamesWard Well duh! ;-)

[Dick Wall (@[email protected]) @dickwall]

@rit @_JamesWard I think so Brain, but where are we gonna find a tutu and a rubber chicken at this time of night... (Remember that?)

[Dick Wall (@[email protected]) @dickwall]

@lisachwinter YYYYMMDD sorts better :-)

[Dick Wall (@[email protected]) @dickwall]

@tpolecat Cool - now can you make me one of these for meetings please? :-)

[Dick Wall (@[email protected]) @dickwall]

@tpolecat I always tell people in my training that nothing makes you more popular at parties than a thorough knowledge of the for expression...

@ReddyJaySekhar Wow - thanks for the vote of confidence Jay. Feel free to give people the code THANKYOUJAY or https://t.co/TxkFuvuIS7 to anyone who wants to give part 1 a try for free - and if it's good, consider buying the other parts?

To give a bit more context, Tony's Roadhouse was the reason I first got into podcasting! There would have been no Java Posse without @LostAirman and the Roadhouse!

[Dick Wall (@[email protected]) @dickwall]

End of an era. We were a few episodes behind but just listened to the very last episode of the Roadhouse Podcast. Thanks to @LostAirman for all the work choosing some of the best blues I ever heard over the past 17 years, and now we have to find something else for pizza making

And this came just a couple of weeks after Steve Wright announced he would not be doing the big show on radio 2 any more. Man - 2022 - the blows keep coming...

@sissybengals Wow, Henrietta got a great tan on her vacation...

@tracyquinn @cquinn And here's a boozy bike tour - one of many

[Dick Wall (@[email protected]) @dickwall]

@tracyquinn @cquinn yep - that's the hot-tub/banana incident... :-)

[Dick Wall (@[email protected]) @dickwall]

@tracyquinn @cquinn The phone one was when it rang during recording, and he threw the phone out into the living room at your house. Nicki said something like "Did dad just throw the phone out of the office?"

@kevinb9n If I remember correctly, that same night that I first met Carl at the party was the same night @tornorbye got a whole jug of ice-water thrown down his back by a clumsy waiter...

[Dick Wall (@[email protected]) @dickwall]

@kevinb9n That was more than 16 years ago now, I was still living near Atlanta, we used to do podcasts in the evenings and it was very late for me because of the time difference
