Notes

I just used Google to search for "non-Google search engines". Awkward!

I was a fan of Bowie's music, but I'm actually a bit more sad that there will now never be a proper sequel to Labyrinth.

So I saw Spectre.

So it's funny when the characters in the reboot are recognizable, not from the originals, but rather from their Austin Powers counterparts.

I never really watched most of the original Cold War Bond movies.

The first two episodes of "The Man in the High Castle" are, indeed, appropriately grim

Switzerland banned minarets in 2009? I had no idea...

Javascript people: React or Angular?

Every time Justin Trudeau smiles I always think I see the sunlight glinting off his teeth.

Line from Asimov's 'The Stars, Like Dust': 'Gillbret fingered and stroked the knobs gently'.  Oh 1951, you were a simpler time.

Repeating the Facebook experiment. Sending out a tweet from a python app.  Can you see me? :)

Chocolate eclair at 10am. Mistake. Delicious mistake, but still a mistake.

Calvados Crusta. Possibly my new favourite drink.

It's weird to think of email as "old-school".

When one is writing about software, does one capitalize the software names? Like, do I say Emacs or emacs?

Lays Montreal Smoked Meat potato chips bear an uncanny resemblance to the real thing. Bravo.

I really, really hate it when people use "political correctness gone mad" as an license for simple, plain assholery.

And...now I know about the Open Graph protocol...

I think I'm done with Game of Thrones.

"When you are an atheist, every Friday is good and nobody has to die"

So, I apparently have to add a mobile number to my twitter account if I want to write an app to tweet automatically.  SIGH.
