@loke yeah, I've been putting this off. I've tried once or twice in the past, and always give up before making anything that works. This time I've got to stick with it, because it's for work!

Today: trying to build an Android app. Currently 10 minutes into waiting for "create a new project" to finish. Something called Gradle is making my whole PC very stuttery

@pkra Hah, just checked my work email and they sent me a message yesterday evening!

@JordiGH you think the people who named git and GIMP wouldn't jump at the chance?

@pkra they apparently didn't enjoy my talk last year enough to tell me about this year's conference!

@pkra oh, how did I miss this?

The urge when faced with a minor feature request to retreat to the woods and spend the next decade rewriting all your stuff in Elm

@olamundo rest assured that if I had a choice I wouldn't use Word

@loke @grob @rysiek not shown: the 5 minutes at the start when it wouldn't display the editing caret, and the Home and End keys didn't move it

Microsoft Word: now that ordinal is a superscript! You're welcome!

Also Word: now everything is superscript! You're completely welcome!
