I found this in my house. I eventually worked out what it was for. But without context it’s a very random collection of words.
What do YOU think this is a label for?

What an incredible run. I have loved Tom Scott's curiosity, intelligence, humour and humility.
His final Monday video after 10 years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DKv5H5Frt0
Thank you, Tom!

Today is not a great start to the year. I have a stinking cold and am in bed with my body saying “NOT TODAY, THANK YOU!!!”.
Will start the new routines and stuff tomorrow.
Maybe.

✏️ Remember Wordle? I LOVE puzzles, and we've accumulated quite a few fun things to do each day as a family. We generally do some of these over the breakfast table. It's AMAZING that all this stuff exists and is so accessible. Here's our favourites.

✏️ I made a(nother) static site generator!
What? Why?

(FINALLY got this written and published. It’s not a great piece of writing. My thoughts are all over the place. But this was fun to make.)

Flip! When did Alpine.js become 43KB? Eeek!

🤔 I'm not a big end-of-year/start-of-year post guy. But 2023 did become rather chaotic, and I want to start 2024 with some energy and discipline. So… how?

“Stop writing a bulleted list in the #WordPress block editor" is the new “Exit Vim”
😬

Really want to code and write today, but I'm in bed with lurgy. Must rest. 🤒

I know this is probably an ancient JAMStack thing, but is there a really simple, cheap, cloud-based database/key-value store with a simple get/put API and simple auth?
Happy to self-host (this may be preferable, in fact).

Book nerds… do you think First Edition Discworld books are worth anything?
Edit: ebay says yes, but really not very much (£5-8 each – less than original cost!)
Anyone want them?

Docs are incredible. Data structures are documented. There’s pseudo code for key algorithms. And over 40 pages of documented manual tests!!
I never did anything like this in my working life.
Well done 17/18 year old me!! 🙌🙌
2023-12-30 12:12:58
Seems I somehow captured screen output in the docs… nice!
2023-12-30 12:12:16
There’s also a lot of low-level display code. Pretty sure I implemented a custom Terminal-based UI from scratch. 😅
2023-12-30 12:08:03
Working at a very low level though. There are references to hand-crafted, doubly-linked lists! Needs a better standard library/primitives. Perhaps these existed but we were encouraged to work from first principles?

Pascal seems really well structured. I’m seeing interfaces, good typing. “PROCEDURE”s presumably have side effects where “FUNCTION”s do not. Nice!
2023-12-30 12:02:10
Who wants to tear through the Pascal code for my A-Level computing project then? 😂

Looking through some old files and having a turn out.
In 1999 I delivered a technical writing course. Using OHP acetates!
I was a year out of university and in my graduate position.
Seems like I ALWAYS cared about this stuff.
