Been to a local Coderdojo.org event with my 6 year old this morning.
He's bang into Scratch now and loving it.

It's his first "after school" club! I'm sooo proud.
He was jumping with excitement on the way there haha.

Excellent work, sperm.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Put my weeks notice in this morning and was marched straight off site (after my long goodbyes) and paid up until the end of the week. Excellent.
New start on Tuesday.
Excited.

I'm having a laugh after reading a beautiful product of peer reviewing in a paper:

Fig. 3 depicts the linkage-by-process approach in an admittedly simplifying sketch that may however be suited to capture the main ideas relevant in the present context.

Emphasis added by me.

God we get 18C once a year and its glorious. Typically Scotland hovers between 0C and 15C though (and that's just in summer lol)

I'm looking at your city now Ando. For the next 10 days your average high is 88 low is 79. Rain every day.

My brown dead grass is slowly turning green with new life thanks to little bit of rain that's fell the past week. No more nasty lawns!

Rain every day? Certainly no throughout the year. From June to September, yeah. But our summer, the actuall summer is form mid-march to Mid-June. And that is a killer.
