I wrote a program to lipsync the shipping forecast in a terminal window, and I have no regrets.

@StefanThinks what do you mean!? You've got my little friend here worried... AND THAT'S NOT HER JOB!

Disgust from Inside Out looking afraid.

THE BIGGEST NEWS! Rob and I are offering up a hand-signed hardback, first edition/first printing copy of Monstrous Regiment straight from the Pratchett archives. Those who know the story will know why itโ€™s a pertinent one for this cause.

4 panel LOTR meme. 
Panel 1: Sauron: Minas Tirith burns tomorrow. Total obliteration. No survivors.
Panel 2: Saruman: Eastern flank is ready. Orcs move at first light. I want the White Tree as kindling.
Panel 3: Witch King of Angmar: I'll breach the gates personally. No man can stop me.
Panel 4: Peregrin Took (holding a Palantir): I don't think I was supposed to be added to this group chat?

News! Wee Free Men, Thief of Time and Monstrous Regiment are being adapted into graphic novels with Transworld and Puffin. Iโ€™m word wrangling on WFM, and Gary Chudleigh and Rachael Stott are adapting ToT. Exciting times!

Itโ€™s not mentioned in the press release, but I have done a fair bit of previous work in comics, creating stories for DC, Dark Horse, Marvel, Dynamite and Kodansha.

@hacks4pancakes well he might still be grifting on "X" but I haven't looked at that mess in a long time.

Or maybe it's just that Mastodon doesn't have an algorithm pushing reaction bait at me?

@hacks4pancakes for a moment, I thought Jonathan was back.

@lcamtuf ๐Ÿค”but it looks like a local file... They wanna go offline?

@shiawase @kestral I thought it was him, but I tried looking up his IMDB to find out what he was in around that time.

@kestral very H2G2. I don't remember this though. What was the programme?

@sophie ๐Ÿค” does the existence of bubble sort imply the existence of jet sort and laser sort?

@tdp_org I'm terribly unqualified for this role. Got anything for me? My skills include coding in various languages, getting the USB in the port in 4 tries or less, knowledge and experience (outwith employment) of networking (not socially though - my social skills are awful), I could beat the former head of HR* (Scotland) more often than not at Goldeneye (if it helps I can play against the current one to see if I'm up to current standard), and I know that, if all else fails, you can always reverse the polarity of the neutron flow. ๐Ÿ˜

*Admittedly I needed his help getting past Control level in single player, but I've since managed on my own.

@catsalad @renedario I'm assuming you've not read the books either? When you're done with the show, read the books. Then when you're done with the books, you'll desperately want to talk to someone about Amos (even more so than you likely already do).

There is a picture of James Bond from the film, and the text on the right reads, โ€œ007 is really dumb permission to have for a spy.โ€
