...watching people on the internet who clearly haven't read the books slowly figuring something out...

So... Did Star Trek SNW just parody Futurama? Is that what happened?

I was humming a happy tune while getting ready to leave the hotel this afternoon, and got as far as
"So prepare for the chance of a lifetime.
Be prepared for sensational news!
A shiny new era, Is tiptoeing nearer.." before I remembered I was singing the villain song from Lion King
"Be PREPAAARED!"🤠

Grand Central Station in New York at 2am. Even though I caught the last train, I did expect it to be busier.
Arriving at JFK was a bit of a shitshow due to the storms. And the renovations. Also, Americans are not big on Signage, so doing things for the first time can be frustrating.

Packing for the trip. It's OK to take bikkies into the USA through customs right? as long as the packet is still sealed?

Starting to pack for my trip to New York. Any travel suggestions for things I might need in the USA that I'm too foreign to know about?

Leeeeeroooyy JENKIIINSS!!!

Apparently it's been 20 years since the legend of Leeroy Jenkins was forged. I was not there, but I was told the tale by those who were. The world got a new hero that day.

It's a nice day, if somewhat windy.

Just over a month and I'll be in New York giving a talk at a con! 10am Sunday Morning: www.lbx.events/schedule

I think it's technically a cooking anime? The Pilot was _really_ good, and I hope they get a full series. Six seasons and a movieeee!

It is confirmed, I'm coming to America in July! I'll be in New York, mostly, for the LBX conference.

New Robot! Emblaser Pro laser cutter, just arrived. Haven't even plugged it in yet. CoreXY, linear rails, and a head-mounted camera that I already know some things about.

Something you didn't know about me: I used to sing the "Ask a Ninja" theme song to my cat.

It's been eight days since I woke up missing a kidney. Progress is slow but steady. They used quality hot glue to patch me up.

Is there a name for the feeling you get after watching an Avatar TLAB marathon and then you see a dude delivering cabbages?

Here's how to track down that bug you can't find:
Stop looking for it, for an hour. Tidy up nearby code you've been meaning to make pretty.
Wait for the moment when you wrinkle your brow and say "That's funny..." then DO NOT let that feeling go.
Follow it. Find the source of the funny.

At a cafe in Ipswich. I think this event poster might be a little old.

I'm fine, just sorting my jellybeans by colour to impose some sense of order on a chaotic world, how are you?

It's a warm summer day in Brisbane

Typical Brisbane summer evening storm.

I'm a computer nerd who doesn't post very often, why y'all suddenly following me?

Look into the origin of the term "Bikeshedding" and Cyril Northcote Parkinson, who walked this road before: www.techtarget.com/whatis/defin...:

We can still use "X" as the substitution variable, right? Or has that meaning been taken from us too.

oh right yeah, this is part of a long-running twitter gag of "X cosplays better than I do" where X has been; inanimate objects, random buildings, my cat, festive signposts, actual cosplayers of course, and possums.

Miss Monique ended her Grand Canyon set with this song, it was astonishing; The vocals. The wubs. The sunset. If this is how 2024 goes out, I'm OK.

Have you tried expressing your heartfelt friendship towards it now that you realize how much they mean, and then fall into mortal peril? They usually switch back on in 'default' mode.
