Using #python and #Selenium to automate website maintenance odd jobs is a revelation. Currently two-thirds of the way through deleting 6,000 unnecessary products from the #notAmos @payloadz store without having to touch a key.

https://t.co/rTb2wk1RjM Fascinating bit of automation history, is this really the first time someone has made this connection though?

As said by Jonathan Agnew: “There are times administrators need to give Test cricket a bit of a leg-up, a bit of help.”

@WHSmith When do you expect your Bath branch to reopen? We currently effectively have no @PostOffice in central Bath, and the notices give no idea of what to expect.

#retiredtechie now using @googlecalendar as least worst diary option. #MicrosoftOutlook only supports 1-way sync (and doesn't make this remotely clear). #caldavsynchroniser does a really good job but the 'new' Outlook doesn't support COM add-ins. What exactly am I supposed to do?
