Lunch, a while back now, was the last of the cold southern "fried" chicken bits plus a bag of plain crisps

After which I accidentally went down the rabbit hole of the history of debugging tools on Unix in the 1970s, as I was annoyed by somebody quoting Kernighan's "The most effective debugging tool is still careful thought, coupled with judiciously placed print statements" without mentioning that it's from 1979, which is a bit like quoting someone talking about the limitations of the Blériot monoplane as if you're making some valid point about the Tornado GR4

Resultant thread on ThreadReader, to save you having to visit Twitter: Thread by @NickFitz: Some people quote Kernighan’s “The most effective debugging tool is still careful thought, coupled with judiciously placed print statements”… ("willingly" about halfway down should be "will only" - autocorrect, etc.)

It's a right bitch doing that when all you've got is a 16x1 LCD.

Much progress appears to have been made on the unruly bush. About a third shorn and tidied it would seem. The shredder is certainly working wonders.

That cheap E cigarette I brought at local shop (Dot Pro vape kit) is brill! Takes over me whole body, can feel it in me legs. Better not use it too much, I'll get addicted!

Why do little rural villages never have opium Dens? A few brothels would be nice too!

Got one next to me drive that needs cutting yet again! Grows like mad. I could run over somebody on the pavement when backing out cos I can't see.

I'm sure I will have seen this first time around but am currently watching BBC iPlayer - The Beauty of Diagrams - 1. Vitruvian Man

Quite a pleasant evening out there now, though the cloud seems to be closing in a little to the west. But the weather app has given up claiming there'll be a storm this evening and is now pretending it meant tomorrow afternoon all along

Ribs and chips for tea

The grey cloud bank in the west has now moved here, occupying the south and east while there's still the last light of sunset coming from the west, giving everything a really cool ominous kind of look

Quite breezy too. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it does suddenly start raining.

[WTFH]

Binge watching the Salisbury Poisonings

Popped out the back and, of course, it immediately arrived

It missed a trick though, as I'm back in now and it's turned positively torrential but just too late to get me
