@ronanfromcork Corner house?

I may be guilty of too-frequent pull-to-refresh lately but apparently it could be worse. There’s a guy in the pub watching the news on his phone, but it’s propped up by his other phone on which he is also watching different news.

@silverSpoon And reordering of blocks eg alphabetising an ADT

To the person who stole my copy of Microsoft Office, I will find you. You have my Word.

@j_jost I thought they could on Android but the API was still locked down on the iPhone. It only just got the leap card top up feature

One thing I don't get about the EU health pass: why do they have to scan a QR code on my phone, can't they just read whether i'm vaccinated from my microchip directly?

@siracusa @kjhealy Try explaining the term “haunted” for example

@kjhealy (Or just make references to Irish stuff that might as well be entirely made up.)

@stroughtonsmith DAOs all the way in my case. Decoupling the model from the serialisation is generally needed at some point so I like to build it in up front

All this good cinema weather going to waste.

Gotta say, based on the photos, I think they might have faked it

Does anyone else remember a series of blog posts by the front man of @CAKEMUSIC about his time working in a local video store? Super hard to google for. Plus I may have imagined/misremembered it completely

The family and friends of nerds get some weird autocorrects. What the hell is a food cons I hear you ask?

One of my favourite things about being on the phone to @AppleSupport is getting a support person who is Pure Cork

You know how old PC games had a part where you enter a random word from the printed manual, so only the people who paid for the game can play? That’s algorithm questions on interviews.

I would like a scientist to explain how last March was ten years ago and 1990 was also ten years ago

@IainHull Funnily enough, the owner of the monochrome laptop installed solar panels and he used to run a battery charging company. Last I heard he was just selling the excess back to the grid; maybe I should tell him that he’s missing a trick!

@oerhill I read this epic hackery and thought of you. Use PV solar to power as much of the house as possible. Then instead putting excess back into the grid for pittance, store in home made batteries then mines Ethereum to heat house and drive a profit. teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/5320…

@silverSpoon Played that on a friend’s dad’s laptop. A monochrome laptop with a clip-on track-ball. Good times!
