It is always hard to pick just one, but I usually pick either one of the culture novels, or Sophie’s World by Jostein Gaarder.

Yeah but the anticipation of “when is the alien going to pop out” is only there on the first watch. I’ve watched it a bunch so can never recover that one.

Game: To the moon

Book: The Culture novels by Iain M. Banks

TV: Star Wars Rebels

Movie: Alien

More GUI front ends for stuff. This takes away the need to understand command line tools and syntax, and makes the out-of-the-box experience feel more like it just works.

Notepad++

I like Nano. I think it is quite good. There, I said it.

I honestly love Powershell, but haven’t tried the Linux version yet. I only use Bash on linux but it has a load of odd quirks that make it unpleasant to use imo. Can’t comment on anything else.

You know what, I’ve stopped getting excited when I met someone claiming to be a gamer, because they inevitably say they play “Dota”. Play what you want, but why is it always Dota?

I’m at the point of looking to pay for a good usenet service. I’ll definitely probably start looking next week.

Flight of the navigator.

An entire film to make one E.T. joke.

I can’t do it. I feel asleep too quickly.

On Fire.

The stuff stinks. If the devil has blood it would be tomato sauce.

It’ll stay empty of course. If make a big enough bucket to stand in and you could go deep sea diving without an airtank.

The 2 principles I stick to are.

1. Job hunting is a numbers game, just like any sales job. Don’t take rejection personally, just move on to the next one.
2. Don’t get excited about a job until you have a signed contract. Just apply / interview, and forget about it until the next stage happens.

Number 2 is hard to do sometimes, but worth doing whenever possible.

It is the Benjamin Franklin effort. Google it for a better explanation than my own.

Indeed. I should have said “borrow something important”. It needs to be something they care about, or something they know you care a lot about. How you say thanks are examples.

Borrow something from then. Then, when you return it, be very grateful, and maybe give a bottle or chocolates or say you owe them one.

After that they will be nicer to you.

I don’t think they’ll ever get address and Street information right. It needs a plugin that links gmaps street info into osm.

I considered the jump to iPhone and did some testing on one of my kids iPhones. The common apps were essentially identical to my android, but the weird thing is free apps on iPhone all seem to just captive webpages or some other crap quality thing. You have to pay for good apps on iPhone. On android the free stuff is consistently better. Just my experience.
