I build things on the web, for the web, sometimes even behind the web. I also have a complicated relationship with the snooze button.

Yo, @eBay_UK you good yeah? Heard @JustEatUK have some pre-loved items available. Mainly so very funny Lizards and Parrots.

Sure a deal to be made there.

@BBCWatchdog Who do you complain to when Watchdog’s emails are bouncing because their mailbox is full? 😅

Now I just have to sit and wish someone would release something similar for the iPad Pro. I have the Smart Folio keyboard and it’s the most depressingly dull case imaginable.

@allisonjo1 What’s the device/case combo on your desk in the background of your (excellent!) Pixel 5A review please?

[Rich Harrison @mindintransit]

Thank you! ❤️

@backlon I recently watched a video where you talked about the “webcam arms race” at the Verge and showed how you’d mounted your camera above yr laptop. I’m now trying to do something similar but can’t for the life of me find the video to see how you’d mounted it. Can you help?

@NikiRust @ReetNortherner4 @DavidBflower been a variation in the weight of denim (which is apparently how denim is categorised, 12oz being a common weight) used over time.

@NikiRust @ReetNortherner4 @DavidBflower I hadn’t considered the impact of supply chain efficiencies: that’s what you get for discussing these things in the pub 😉 Levi’s were used as an example because they have styles (501) that have been around for a very long time. Would be interesting to see if there’s...

@NikiRust @ReetNortherner4 @DavidBflower Sadly in our world of near terminal short-termism buying 1 pair of jeans every 3 years at £80 is more attractive than buying one pair for £180 that actually last 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Rich Harrison @mindintransit]

@NikiRust @ReetNortherner4 @DavidBflower Since the cost of Levi’s are around £80 per pair and the relative cost of cotton has increased over time it’s obvious savings have had to be made somewhere.

@NikiRust Happy birthday you 🥳

Pushing obviously... although thinking about this: given that we’re no longer bound by the laws of common sense in the esports world is there a niche for a bus racing series?

@savoirsarthe I presume all these gaming PC related grumbling are a precursor to you bursting onto the sim racing scene? Will I be treated to you busing Ian Poulter into the barriers in the near future?

[Rich Harrison @mindintransit]

@GeorgeAdamson You should try FlatCapJS, I hear it’s the new hotness.

@NikiRust To be fair, I’ve always felt as though most of our CompSci class at HRSFC should’ve been “on a list” somewhere (and I include myself in that, obvs).
