I am hopeful that the "six days of klutz" is finally over.
I have dropped so many small things that have managed to escape my grasp and then hidden themselves in inaccessible places. Crushed my finger when a folding stool collapsed. Favourite jeans expired. Unleashed a torrent of milk by not tightening the lid enough. Even my favourite computer mouse died. And the replacement mouse was delivered somewhere that was not my house.
So far today I've not dropped, broken, …

I'm technically not a manager but I'm juggling enough things at work right now that I've just set up the second calendar, one of my favourite ways to give the impression of having ducks in a row lornajane.net/posts/2023/manag
(One of the ducks is a chicken, and the row was inspired by a fractal, but I'm getting there)

Quite happy with how the page/component lifecycle log messages are coming along as part of my push to get the new stateful components over the line in Kitten¹.
This should make it very easy to ensure that things are happening as you think they are and to conceptualise the behaviour of your stateful component hierarchies. (You can also use stateless components, of course, as is the currently documented workflow.)

For #TerryPratchettDay I want to share one of my favourite quotes. There are many, but this one just resonates with me as a writer. Sir Terry Pratchett's work is about how important stories are to humans and as a storyteller who grew up loving his books, unsurprisingly I feel the same way. He was the first celebrity where I was truly gutted when he died. Much love to everyone who w…

A quote from Terry Pratchett's book "Hogfather" in white letters against a dark blue background: "Take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder and sieve it through the finest sieve and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy. And yet... You need to believe in things that aren't true. How else can they become?" -- Hogfather by Terry Pratchett

I enjoy rail travel in general but today I'm settled in the window seat with a book on one of my favourite routes: East Coast Mainline between Newcastle and Edinburgh #WinningAtLife
I'm in Edinburgh for about 10 days, let me know if there are things to do or people to meet!

This is an excellent blog post that perfectly describes life as a software engineer. I love this kind of post with a few technical details and a brilliant story with a touch of criticism. Hat tips to @…
My favourite quote: "One of the frustrating things about modern software engineering is that things never just keep working. You can get something to work, but nothing keeps working."
