Oooh. Email spam with a valid-but-very-old password quoted in it. Interesting. That’s gonna freak a LOT of people out!

Amazing to see so many people out playing Beat the Street in Swindon (https://beatthestreet.me/swindon). People are being so friendly and helpful. Special shout out to drivers who are giving families loads of time and space to cross busy roads. đđđ

Wondering if there’s a standard way to validate a UK town name.
Remembering the existence of “Westward Ho!” with the official apostrophe.

Wintleâs first law of Tomboladynamics (the prize conservation principle) states that there is a set of objects in the world whose sole purpose is to be tombola prizes. Without these objects the Tombolaverse will collapse into entropy.

Expanding on some Tweets from the other day⌠âCharging up the SchoolBotâ gives more detail on recent updates, says âYeah, thereâs nothing difficult going hereâ, shrugs its shoulders, and walks away.

Last week I used the word “pragmatic” and some weren’t sure what it meant. As an example, here’s a post about what I would call “pragmatic” programming:

Also… #thankyoutoday for helpful, supportive people who take an interest, are positive, help you grow and gently nudge you to new ideas (rather than forcefully dragging you into them)

This week in projects, posts and pins. My weekly “what I’m up to”. Still not sure if this is useful. Let me know!

Oh, gosh. Been forgetting to #thankYouToday. I already did it, really, but let’s have one for yesterday for the organisers, staff, volunteers and runners of the Swindon Half Marathon – such a great event! đ

Wow. Really hadn’t realised there were so many strong opinions about CSS-in-JS or not. Is there some kind of basic, impartial primer on the pros and cons of each? I mean, I could guess/work it out. But…
