The summary of hours of pain until I finally understood the android cli and Androids idiocracy
We had a lovely day out at the local Country Show, sadly minus sheep (usually half of the show) which...
This summer, I helped to plan my husband's participation in the US Library of Congress's Veterans History Project. He had served in the US Army decades ago, during peace time. We were able to do a video interview that I've just submitted...
On an August evening in 1918, a half blind woman with a Browning pistol stepped out of a Moscow crowd and fired three shots at the man who'd just seized control of Russia. Four days later she was dead, shot in the back of the head in a...
Though like any normal person, I prefer my shooting games to strictly follow arcade-style rules: no meta-progression, continues optional (and preferably punished), and scoring being based as much on skill (and as little on either luck or...
A list of different design tasks I've been doing (juggling?) this week. I like to try and give my weeknotes a theme, but this week has been a whirlwind of different meetings and themes. So I guess that's the theme. Splitting my time...

A recent discussion on Reddit was about shaming plugin developers who offer free features and then take them away (with the assumption being that they make them part of the paid-for version). Now, I don’t agree with shaming, but I don’t...
This is a very valuable non-fiction book that dives into the definition of genocide and why it can't be denied that what's been happening in Gaza is a genocide. I liked how clear and well-structured the text was. It takes the time to...
I think the last time we looked at these, I both mused they were different to previous ones, vis-a-vis colour schemes, and that I'd found more on Amazon (and left them there!). But, without postage, and at pocket money prices, I picked...
