Happy New Year, everyone. It could be a rough one, so look out for each other.

I knew going In to the West End on the Saturday before Christmas was crazy. But first I couldn’t get on to the Piccadilly Line platform. And then, they’re queueing outside the Lego shop!

(Actually things aren’t too crowded so far.)

Today I learned that Nick Cave has a newsletter. I insta-subscribed, obviously, as you can do, and read the archive.

When did Windows get a case-sensitive filesystem?

This is more contempt of parliament.

It’s bullshit. Delaying the vote is just a ploy to leave less time to organise a second referendum. May is finished anyway, and her reputation as worst PM ever is assured. She should just finish it.

All the congratulations to NASA for another successful landing on Mars. Good to know humanity can still do great things.

Installing Ubuntu on Windows 10 on a VM on a Mac. Because why not?

I just read the phrase “staying under the rule of Brussels” in a foolish article. Instead it should read, “Continuing to contribute to the rule of Europe,” if you want it in terms of ruling. “Continuing to share in Europe’s future development,” to be more about cooperation.

Leaves. (Despite that word, nothing to do with Brexit, for a change.)
