@stuart excellent. That was a lot of people queuing. Hopefully they have some left for the next sale! Which night did you get?

@ianRobinson Mister Wordy?

@schwa @the_verge it’s about ethics in games journalism

@intheseheels @shezza_t @stuart the world is a sadder place for having lost her.

@intheseheels @shezza_t @stuart yous look like you might be haunting the darts area.

@chartier you’re doing it exactly the way I think it should be done. I’ve often wondered about working for Shiny Frog. Not sure I have the technical skills anymore, and I’m probably too addicted to AdTech money!

@chartier the folks on the subreddit banging on about Bear 2 taking too long we’re doing my head in. It’s like they paid for a month’s subscription of v1and immediately said “I demand version 2 now!” Even people who were long term subscribers had this attitude of “ive been paying all this time for Bear 2, where is it?” There’s a real cognitive dissonance there. Your ongoing subscription is not a down payment on the next version!

@ellyjohnston @shezza_t when I arrived at work on Thursday (Donegall Place) there was quite a commotion with gulls. Turned out there were people cleaning our roof and the gulls were attacking them because the chicks were nesting up there. Someone was on guard with a stick to defend the rest of them cleaning.

Also we get better Internet here than at home, so it makes sense to just live here forever. Tomorrow I’m installing all the latest Apple betas cause the connection is 10 times faster.

Last year my wife and I bought a house in Ballycastle. We’ve stayed in it lots since then but this is our first “summer holiday” here that wasn’t living in a building site. It feels amazing. Some folks like to go away to other countries, but we mostly like to stay closer to home. In fact, this feels like home. Now to plan for retirement here…

@simon @intheseheels I met Simon through a combination of Twitter and conferences. No matter what it’s become, it was definitely once an amazing way to interact with people. Like Usenet. And some Slack communities.

@intheseheels see I missed your career change because I wasn’t on Twitter at all!

@stuart @intheseheels I keep the official app for pushes, but can’t remember the last time I received anything.

Which is weird, in retrospect. I spent a lot of time on Twitter and left it pretty cleanly in the end.

@intheseheels I stopped posting and replying to things on Twitter a long time ago. I’ll reply to DMs but I can’t even remember the last time I received one. I stopped browsing Twitter completely when they blocked 3rd-party clients. I don’t miss it at all.

@shezza_t 🍻

That first pint after you finish work on your last day for 2 weeks.

@ichris @ultranurd I got a nice 180gm version of Pop last year. Think it was a recent enough European reissue.
