@robmanuel Is this you in a Jazz Emu video?

Focus on the substance of your CV, rather than these "get job quick" schemes. Instead of wasting time making your resumé "ATS-friendly", make it more appealing to the poor schmuck (i.e. me) who has to read hundreds of them 🙏

Cloudflare’s Supercloud feels like what I/we thought AWS’ serverless will become but never did. Definitely, a breath of fresh air. blog.cloudflare.com/welcome-to-the…

My fool godson, William, went down to the basement to get a snack four days ago I told him--every time I tell him--to COUNT the stairs as he goes down. There's only 12. If it goes to 13, come back up and try again. And don't follow the thing singing down there But does he listen?

@mattgillard Yes indeedy! Move here back in August. Obviously not as good as Aus, but y'know 😉

@tdwright You moved to the US?!

Really important advice for my friends here in the US. Loads of adverts (especially on YouTube for some reason) promise free solar. If it seems to good to be true...

One for my US friends... Did you know you could go green and save money with solar, even if you rent or otherwise can't get panels installed?

@simonwaight I cracked it. Flash of inspiration. It's from a track called "music sounds better with you", by Stardust. So relieved now! 😆

@tdwright I gave it to the family music geniuses and this is their first guess. It’s maybe more the rhythm than anything else. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gwb3M7…

It's driving me nuts. What is the song sampled in the background of the new Gorillaz track? Particularly noticeable at around the 2:30 mark: youtu.be/24tFMeloa18?t=… Answers on a postcard please.

New blog post! Did you know that the FizzBuzz programming challenge is 15 years old? blog.tdwright.co.uk/2022/07/14/fiz…

@simonwaight Could be, could be... I was thinking something older, but it's a lead I can chase down. Thanks!

@tdwright That’s chords from something dancy. David Gueretta?

Every election in the UK since returning from Aus makes me sad. Mainly because our voting system always means voting against the worst, rather than voting *for* the best. But also because of a distinct lack of democracy sausages.
