I maintain my belief that The Inspector in Death in Paradise is in fact a Timelord.

I look forward to seeing who the 5th Inspector is.

I hold firm in my belief it should be Lenny Henry, playing a Met Police detective of second gen Caribbean background, struggling to relate to his roots.

@libbymiller the idea works with either a female or male inspector.

So many good post-Windrush British actors or actresses that could play it that way.

2-0 up and I got a new cap. So I'm happy.

@BashStKid BlueSky gets most of my sass posting. People here get grumpy with me for doing it. 😆

I tend to focus stuff here on my sensible bits. Realized the other day I've been deficient in cat photo posting though.

@BashStKid I do them for Every.

Next one from me should be next week I think. I'm recording it for them on Monday.

General reminder that I will be at the Gothcon gaming convention this weekend in Gothenburg.

So if you are a creator, maker or artist who is there with your work, do get in touch.

I will come see what you are up to and shout about how cool I'm sure it is online!

Of the many nuggets of oral history I've found digging into Vector Graphic and its founders, Lore Harp and Carole Ely, I think this is legit my favourite. From when they were running their memory board production out of Harp's spare room.

Just a quiet moment of lifting someone else up with them.

@johndecosta @twilliability Harp is a good example of that.

One of the earliest successful founders of a computer firm. Second woman to launch a firm on NSDAQ. Went on to be an important 'Angel' funder in the early days of the web.

Has exactly one para on Wikipedia. Mostly talked about in reference to her second husband.

Was trying some Sweden strategies in HOI4 last night.

It's possible to trigger the communist civil war AND win it after siding with the Navy and King, without locking out the royalist focus tree, by end of Jan 1938.

You just need to get your timing right on a few things.

@adaliabooks yeah, on my test play i LOVED legitimacy.

It doesn't stop you doing things like marrying a commoner or disinheriting. but it means those are legit disruptive to the kingdom, as they should be.

So claiming the equal pay judgment had bankrupted Birmingham Council was an easy way for the Senior Management Team to avoid admitting it was actually because of a disastrous IT project they've overseen.

The city suffers so the SMT's LinkedIn profiles stay clean

If you have good Javascript/JSON skills, good server-side/OOP knowledge and experience problem-solving and lateral thinking to get the most out of a CMS, then I currently have a lead developer role open in my team at the University of Greenwich.

Spread the word!

Normal work structure is two days on campus (more if preferred).

Daily tasks are a fun mix of fresh development and coming up with leftfield solutions to whatever the academics throw at us.

Adam Osborne is a forgotten giant of computing. Steve Jobs first true rival and a friend. A man who struggled with his identity: was he British, American or Indian?

In my new column 'The Crazy Ones' over at Every, you'll find a full history of Adam Osborne and the rise and fall of Osborne Computers.

The number of outlets prepared to pay for longform tech history journalism is tiny. So please do read, enjoy and spread the word...
