Do you like crime? I do. I wrote a book about crime and it's out today. It's set mainly in the 1970s and features a creepy AF house, posh people being posh, cocktails, terrible food and questionable fashion. Oh. And murder. Rather a bit of murder. 🔪🕵️‍♀️

[Kissed by Fire: The Podcast @KissedPodcast]

The latest episode we recorded I repeatedly say that Fire and Blood was written by Yandel rather than Gyldayn. So. Many. Times. I have punished myself so hopefully I can have my GRRM Nerd Card back asap.

I've completed as much as I can without having to go and complete another game.

[Edinburgh Zoo @EdinburghZoo]

Our teams had an incredible day at Edinburgh Pride 🌈

LGBTQ+ colleagues, members and supporters make amazing contributions to saving wildlife. Let's build a community where everyone is welcome 🏳️‍🌈

Together, we can create a world where nature is protected, valued and loved 💛

Drop a cool photo of you doing your job.

@gypsydave5 You've already ditched your beret and the Gauloises - it's a slippery slope.

[Graham Lyons @grahamlyons]

@shinyford Same, apparently. And no, I'm not doing anything special to mark it.

[Graham Lyons @grahamlyons]

@shinyford @ITVX How many times did you try again?

Let me stop you there: it wasn't enough times.

[Graham Lyons @grahamlyons]

@danhett You just described my Saturday AND Sunday mornings. And my pancakes are delicious 😭

@quii @flydotio Not GitHub Pages? I moved mine there many years ago and was pleased not to have to maintain another service. It hasn't made me write any more often but that's a different problem...

[Graham Lyons @grahamlyons]

@jwilf Oh aye, I know they're not just removing security completely but it's a strange choice to remove a security option from free accounts. (Cost saving, from what I can see on here).

[Graham Lyons @grahamlyons]

"You must pay us for security!" 🙃

[Graham Lyons @grahamlyons]

@quii Yes. Unpleasant. Paracetamol, coffee and chocolate biscuits are the best medicine.

[Graham Lyons @grahamlyons]

I need 10 VPCs, 3 private and 3 public networks each, a bunch of network endpoints for S3 and that, deployed in different accounts. Everything needs to be named consistently and I'm going to need it done within the hour. Tick tock... Why are you still sat there?!

[Corey Quinn @QuinnyPig]

Oh yes I'll pick this fight.

[Graham Lyons @grahamlyons]

Where do I claim my money?

[Gabe Greenberg @gabegreenberg]

You're offered $1 million, but you can never use React/React Native again. Do you accept?

[Graham Lyons @grahamlyons]

@quii Boo! Then they don't deserve you.

[Graham Lyons @grahamlyons]

@gypsydave5 @quii This method isn't used...

But this is what makes my Bean! Fuck it, I'll just add one little Suppress annotation...

[Graham Lyons @grahamlyons]

@gypsydave5 I'd forgotten how much I enjoy watching you mate!

Wait. No.

[Graham Lyons @grahamlyons]

@quii @gypsydave5 Nobody likes XML, it's way too Enterprise. Annotations take up far fewer characters and you can sprinkle them liberally throughout your code so that intrepid explorers following you can play a fun game of Hunt the Bean!
