@alessioalex @simonplend @classic_addetz @MattJamesBoyle Anywhere warm and indoors. Just kidding. Have a Sunday roast. Walk along the Thames. Explore Hampstead Heath or Richmond park.

Hey London people, any tips on what to visit, beyond the usual places? I'll be visiting this week! Thank you! / cc @simonplend @classic_addetz @MattJamesBoyle @alexdickson

Interesting to find in 2004 this was the website for "alexanderdickson.com" (not me) web.archive.org/web/2004012209…

I'm going to update my website soon to make my blog posts available again. I've ditched Ruby for a simple Node app to serve them.

If I marked for edit too many commits with git's interactive rebase, is there a way to git rebase --continue until we're back at the tip?

@dimdenEFF Im sorry

Here's what it was like developing for NES back in 1990. This video shows me running the Software Creations' IDE on a DOS PC and then loading up some of my NES Silver Surfer source files. We used our own in-house dev tools and the game was written in 6502 assembly language.

@DeliverooHelp Hi, can't seem to order. Request always 500s when trying to confirm. Will DM email address, cheers

@Sardionerak @WiseTechGlobal Glückwunsch!

@rstacruz I have one already, but just a cheap one. Testing if I’ll use it regularly first 😁

@alexdickson Kinesis sells foot pedals that map to keyboard key presses :)

Does anyone use a footswitch to help code? Looking for ideas on which key (or combination) to bind it to. Thanks!

@rsnickell Thanks! I’ve enabled it to push to chat for VCs. I use a widescreen monitor so usually can see my changes already.

@alexdickson I'm trying to think of a good use, maybe for app switching to validate your changes? I used to use a foot switch for "press to chat" voice programs while gaming years ago.

@code_cowboy ha that's great!
