Wondering now if the Microsoft acquisition of GitHub is just a ploy to keep devs busy on Monday and distracted from the WWDC announcements.
Microsoft to acquire GitHub?
My first impressions of this are nervousness.
I always liked that GitHub were a separate business from Google, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft.
Great to see another Assassin’s Creed game coming out. I really enjoyed Origins. 🎮
Nice use of the lambda symbol as the insignia of the Assassins order as well.
The boys on the ice
A horrific story about the plight of seven boys and young men who stowed away on a ship bound for Quebec, Canada.
With the ship going nowhere, 22-year-old Bernard Reilly - the eldest of the stowaways, who had dreams of making it to Nova Scotia to work on the railways - persuaded James Bryson that it might be worth trying to cross the ice to escape the misery on board the ship.
My working day is often plagued by those little decisions that I never get round to resolving. This morning’s decision is one that I never seem to find the answer to:
Hyphens or underscores for CSS id and class selectors?
I'm all in with Micro.blog
I think I’m getting to that stage now where I am all in with Micro.blog.
I’ve been bouncing between platforms over the last few years. Posterous, Square, Jekyll and Ghost. I’ve had issues with them all. Some have a lack of or bad native clients to post from. Others suffer from bad integration with social media platforms. And finally some have hosting issues or just too high hosting costs.
Then Micro.blog came along and made things easier. It’s easy to create an account there, it’s easy to run a blog, it’s easy to share posts with Twitter and Facebook. It’s easy.
The one thing that really sets Micro.blog apart from the restof the blogging solutions I have tried though is the ability to have both a blogging platform and a social media platform rolled into one. I can write short social posts or longer titled posts, and in both cases, I can get replies back to those posts from fellow Micro.bloggers.
It’s taken a while for to get to this stage, but the reality is that I don’t want to maintain multiple blogs for myself. I want to simply write to my blog and Micro.blog allows me to do that.
I want no screen. I want holographic displays that I can manipulate with my hands and voice.
I’d buy a Windows device if it done that.
Ethan off on his first school trip away from home. A few tears this morning from mum and little brother but he’ll back on Friday and I’m sure he’ll have a great time.
The Expanse is coming to Amazon Prime!
Great timing. I just cancelled my Prime subscription a few months ago.
