I really ought to have a bio, but I never know what to write. You can probably get a feel for who I am by just reading a few of my toots TBH.

Compiling the latest release of less so I can get that sweet, sweet wordwrap feature.
#Less #Debian #ThatDebianLife #CompileIt!

Umm... can someone who has the spoons handy log an issue that their latest release (non-beta) tarball is double-gzipped? (https://github.com/gwsw/less/issues)

#SpoonTheory -- I'm doing fine, but dealing with github REALLY DOES cost a couple extra spoons even when you're having a good day, lol. Stop using that MSFTy GPL-violating crap, my peeps! :P~

@RL_Dane To be fair, that's less of a "Windows" problem and more a "greedy printer companies" problem...

Project64 at school. I'd seen people use various MegaDrive emulators before then, but that was the first emulator I used myself. Diddy Kong Racing was my favourite.

What’s “Threads“? Is it a clothing brand the president likes to wear? Is that what’s happening?

Question, how do you pluralise "faux pas"? It already has an "s" on the "pas" (but "faux pases" is clearly wrong, as it "faux pas's") and if it's meant to be the "faux" that's the plural bit, I'm not sure how that works with the "x"?
(Maybe @grammargirl knows?)

ne of the most recent commits to the github is described as "Lua filters documentation: remove reference to " - there has to be a story behind that, and the mind boggles as to what it could be!

With the news that the rescue deal for has fallen through, here's a tangentially related question: what would you name a and why? I'd name one "Giga Guinea" and sell everything for £1.05.
