@eternalstorms Hey Matthias! It's nice to find you over here!

My Macs had been slow picking up the update to ScreenFloat 2 and I've been really appreciating it, so I wanted to say thanks again. It's genuinely one of my essential Mac apps, and working on a Mac without it is not fun!

@acf @spins Expensive enough for used! Though I’d probably be as well searching within the UK, as it’s probably cheaper for postage within UK than within the island of Ireland!

@acf @spins been trying to get a copy of Document on vinyl but not so easy to get at the minute!

@acf @spins I fell out of love with it for a while. It was my first REM I bought after “discovering” the band, so my initial excitement by it dropped off quickly, but I’ve come to appreciate its quality so much in later years.

@bigzaphod @chartier can I do the “2 Wi 2 Fi” joke?

@bazscott reminds me of The Castle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Castle_(1997_Australian_film)

@stuart @jamesthomson @alexcox we already have real numbers and imaginary numbers. Why not virtual numbers?

@acf this is so true.

@twostraws did you get to claim back sales tax on leaving the US?

@ianRobinson the biggest flaw in Callsheet is the data accuracy. I’m finding that it’s getting to the point where I can’t trust it.

@stuart P.S. Rebecca may be 5 hours late on Friday.

@stuart my response was to go to Mexico.

@ianRobinson though I do slow down podcasts that are music centric; if it ruins the music it’s not worth the time saved on speaking parts, especially where they’re discussing tone and tempo!

@ianRobinson I never really got into audiobooks, but I’d definitely be using that if I was listening to a book! I do the same for WWDC session videos, but I just can’t be bothered speeding up and slowing down YouTube for podcasts, and it’s not that feasible at all for podcast clips on social media!

@pmcg @Moltz I ordered a fibre to the premises connection in Sept last year, and the provider (BT in UK) sent me out the equipment the next day, along with a request for the old equipment to be returned within 2 weeks.

I still don’t have the FTTP connection finished and am definitely still using the old equipment. Thankfully they haven’t demanded it back yet!

@dermdaly unrelated to the specifics of your post, but I’m intrigued to see how this will be applied to the UK. It’s no longer in the EU, except one pesky little part of it is. Campaign for the Northern Irish App Store starts now!

@Moltz I get legit emails from Xfinity on a regular basis to remind me to send back the equipment that I’m no longer using. Apparently they’re going to debt recovery against me. It’s okay. I live in Ireland. Do your worst Xfinity!

This new trend of podcasts posting video clips reinforces for me that Americans talk too slowly and is going to be a problem. At least when I have them trapped in my podcast app I can make them speak at normal speed, but when they escape to video mediums it’s so much harder to bend them to my will.

@jamesthomson @stuart what if you had a bunch of tip SKUs for small amounts, each of which is a letter. Then the tipper spells out their message in a sequence of tips. Come on, you’re an engineer. You’re supposed to be hacking the available framework to your needs!
