@KevlinHenney Your new business card, direct from the register "@kevlinhenney, a public software failure". Also, there's something of John Keats about "Here lies one whose name was writ in failure"

FAQ: What’s a @KevlinHenney? New on the blog: Some explanation and history if you've ever wondered why many people who post software failure images also tag me or evoke my name kevlinhenney.medium.com/faq-whats-a-ke…

@donut1987 @thinkfoo @KevlinHenney Who do you think the K was in y2k?

@aarondfrancis It would appear that SQL was Sequel before it was SQL the former only being dropped because of potential trademark issues. #History" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL#Histo…

Wait is everyone really saying "my ess queue ell" instead of "my sequel?" Suddenly feeling very self conscious

You may have heard of #embed, new for C23. It is a godsend for game dev, effectively #include for binary. Do you want it in MSVC (clue: yes, you do)? Then vote for it here: developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Add-support-…

Introducing...Your Community Cycling Champions!! Thank you SO much to everyone who got involved @SteveCrackett @_zyxt_ @pedalperfect to name just a few. And HUGE thanks to @AshfordCouncil for their ongoing support youtu.be/0ryimqJBEDo #activetravel #cycle #bike @ExploreKent

My eldest daughter @Hannah_I_H is undertaking research for her degree programme with @UniofReading . She's having a fantastic experience and contributing to our knowledge of the world about us.

@raybradbury As a young teenager in the 80s, I discovered Ray Bradbury through an English teacher. So many stories opened up new worlds it is hard to pick just one, however, The sheer creepy terror of "The Crowd" means I've never regarded the gawping onlookers at an accident the same since.

On this day in 2012, Ray Bradbury passed away at the ripe age of 91. To celebrate the life of this magnificent author and pillar of 21st century science fiction and beyond, tell us your favorite Bradbury short story, book, fun fact, memory or anything in between in the comments.

Another Wednesday at @AshfordRepair. Last week I finished up an internet radio and an ancient Apple laptop, this week was something a little different. m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…

Could we repair YOUR chair? Fav footstool? Cherished coffee table? Many small wooden items and furniture can be repaired by our Repair Cafe volunteers, helping you live more #sustainable, #savemoney and #savetrees! Email ashfordrepaircafe@outlook.com or visit Wednesdays 1-4pm.

@tomerg @KevlinHenney @qmalvido @BBC A highly respected sports journalist has been suspended for having expressed freedom of speech and criticised the govts latest immigration policy as being dangerously close to the rhetoric of the right wing in the late 1930s. Google 'bbc lineker' that should show you more.

@KevlinHenney @qmalvido @BBC I did. Haven’t found anything obvious. Maybe it was a specific headline?

If you had a difficult week and messed something up, there are two things you can take comfort from: (1) It's the weekend, and hopefully you can find some space to clear your head. (2) You won't have got anything as wrong as the @BBC.

@KevlinHenney @BBC There's a thin line between having an unbiased media and not calling extreme leaning views for what they are. The @BBC are completely bent to the will of the government, no doubt through fear of having their funding withdrawn. I used to trust them.

@aphrael @everywomanUK Wonderful news. Congratulations

Delighted and honoured to receive the Software Engineer award last night at the @everywomanUK Technology Awards! It was inspiring to be among so many talented women and role models in the tech industry.

I’m going to start tweeting out a bunch of gdb tips. Every time I give a talk on GDB someone comes up to tell me they thought they knew GDB but discovered some things they had no idea about. And every talk I give someone teaches me something I didn’t know existed.

Hello London Twitter: I'm going to a conference in Canada shortly, and the hotel has named its rooms after places in London - Hyde Park, Chelsea, Kensington, Victoria, that sort of thing. Can anyone think of some ridiculous false factoids about those places that might amuse?
