Configuration can be a pain. Sane defaults help and smart UIs help not to mention good documentation. I've been playing with some software over the last week that has wiki for docu…

That's what I do. Once to get rid of food debris. Then start with toothpaste. Then floss, rinse, and a quick brush again with toothpaste. But sadly too little too late with my teet…

I was excited to find your robot brick layer link, but it didn't look that great. There was still a chap doing some of the finishing work sitting alongside. I prefer the idea of pr…

Wood is a renewable and a carbon trap. On site, dirt is a good choice for a building material. You can also use it to bulk mass. You just need a digger and some grunt work. See bui…

Cheers, I have tried that, it might suit a symmetrical keyboard a little better or a tenkeyless, but the keyboard feels a little low still. And slightly wrong. It's the pointer tha…

Off topic: Pocket turned up in my Firefox. I don't even know what it is, and why it's there. It weirdly replaced my Readability icon. (Goes off to read). Okay so it's ReadItLater. …

I wish there was a sandwich I'd like to eat, but there never is. Perhaps that's what it is. But yes I've been meaning to upgrade my laptop with an SSD for about a year, and still c…

As a Brit, then yes I think most people would rather a renationalisation, even the Tories. But it's weirdly complex, because Network Rail is back under public ownership. So the inf…
