I guess I understand why it’s the case, but it still blows my mind that British Standards documents aren’t freely available from .gov.uk as a download.

They’re literally the documents that outline how things should be done, but you have to pay a vast amount to access any of them.

DJDarren,

@rwtwm Yeah. The company I work for has ISO 9001, 45001, 14001, and 15008 (and possibly others that I wasn’t involved with), and I honestly don’t think I could lay my hands on a copy of any of those documents that the company legitimately owns.

@Supermouse Yes, that thought occurred to me.

I've got an afternoon in London tomorrow and no idea how to spend my time.

My original plan was to go to the Natural History Museum but then I remembered it's half-term, so no thank you.

Any wonderful ideas?

@miffyhelen Yes, +1 for the Musical Museum. A man in tight leathers showed off his big organ to us and we were all entertained.

Morning everyone. Not a particularly happy morning for me. Apart from feeling rubbish and oh so tired, I have this year's bullshit appraisal meeting at ten.

I used to get very anxious about these, but now they just annoy the hell out of me. It's meaningless; I have to pretend that I've developed professionally and plan to make significant career progress in the next twelve months, when there's no possibility for either (and I've spent all my time dealing with data problems).

At least the senior colleague who's doing the appraisal knows that this is the case.

@RolloTreadway Ah, yeah, that’s an added element of fuckery, to be sure.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@RolloTreadway Just remember; You’re still getting paid.

That little adage has run through my mind an awful lot these past few years, when thigns have felt shitty at work. I know there’s more to working than that, but sometimes you have to remind yourself.

@mixxx Hey. Is it possible to disable the tips that pop up when you hover over an element?

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@mixxx Thanks again. I have no idea how I missed this. I’ve been through the preferences over and over and somehow glossed over the option…

Anyway, morning, champions!

How are you all on this shitty, wet Tuesday?

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@econads I’ll gladly accept some continental sunshine, though some of the more gammony types over here might set up big fans to waft it all back over.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@ItsThatDeafGuy That sounds like a perfectly cromulent way to spend your day.

Listening back to yesterday’s edition of #ThePlaylist and have noticed 1 (one) fuck up.

Let me know if you hear it…

All of the examples of me being unable to say words don’t count.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

And there’s lots of those.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@swisslet Ah, that’ll be why I’ve connected them.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@pdcawley Aww feck.

Fuck your Subaru.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@swisslet Very kind of you to say 😊

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@swisslet My Lovely Horse was mentioned while I was playing Ruby Horse, so I scrambled to find a copy of it to drop in. Quite pleased that it sounded like it was all planned.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@pdcawley Even if I had earbuds I wouldn’t be able to listen for fear of giggling. No giggling in the library!

Here's the running order from last night's show, btw, seeing as Mixcloud won't actually show what I spend ages typing in.

Just happened upon an exceptionally annoying bug in Pixelmator classic on macOS, whereby attempting to open the gradients menu causes the app to crash to the point that it won’t reopen. At all.

I have to completely uninstall it with AppCleaner, then download it again.

I’m just now realising that, for some reason it could well be entirely possible to put together a two hour radio show comprising purely of songs about horses.

Why do songwriters love horses so much?

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

I won’t be doing this show, by the way, so don’t ask.

Fuck horses.

DJDarren,
@DJDarren@mendeddrum.org avatar

@psotle Sadly, I disagree. Horses are very real.

I clicked on this and was disappointed to find not a single man in the photo.
