@eclectech At least you're probably not honked at with a trumpet either 😁
-
In the interests of accuracy, I am not actually sitting in a mossy hole, although the place could probably do with a dust & hoover.
@eclectech we had to wait so long for Red Side Story - but it was worth it!

@clare_hooley It is proving a splendid distraction this week. I still can't believe I missed it coming out though 😆

This is one of my more blatant semi-autobiographical Friend posts, but FWIW I heartily recommend Jasper Fforde's books. They are the quirkiest dystopias out there.
I am super excited to be reading Red Side Story as it's the follow on to a particular favourite, and I had been looking out for it for years (part one was about 15 years ago) then totally missed the fact it had finally been released until a couple of weeks ago.
Surprise sequel! Yay!
@eclectech Fforde is Ffantastic! You might also like Alan Gordon’s Fool series. Different age but I have the same delight while reading them.

@eclectech yes!! Shades of Grey was so WEIRD, and I started reading it thinking it was just quirky fluff but then as more of the past gets hinted at, it draws you right in. I have the sequel on my to-read list too, hope you enjoy it!

Well, no surprise at "Friend"'s literary tastes.
Keep meaning to buy it. Bit too excited for the final Thursday Next I suppose. -

@35millimetre Hah, yes. I *loved* Shades of Grey, and am thoroughly enjoying Red Side story.
Early Riser is worth a read if you've not read it too. It had the same offbeat vibe as Shades of Grey for me.
(tbf, they I love all the Thursday Next books too, but slightly prefer the others)

@eclectech stay away from my mossy hole and don’t touch my sporangia

I just found the book; will order tomorrow.
14 years since The Woman Who Died A Lot!
I just realised I missed the "Lost In A Good Book" caption for this. -

@eclectech @35millimetre Omg. I love the Thursday Next ones more than all the others, and there’s a final one of those coming out in September. 💔 I have it on preorder.

@eclectech omg jasper fforde fan! Yay! Me too. I haven’t read Red Side Story yet, though, because *gestures vaguely* my focus is crap now and I want to pay attention to it
did you ever do the sleuthing?

Quizzino della domenica: Cinque bambini
@matematica - Riuscite a ricavare le età dei bambini?

@faraiwe @glyph Yeah at this point I have to assume that if you choose to work for Oracle, you’re aware of the possible/likely personal outcomes.
-
@glyph The most interesting to me is that Oracle’s shifting to a “BYOC” model where their customers have to pay for the hardware build-out to get the capex off of Oracle’s books. How popular do you reckon that’s going to be?

@glyph let the techbros hit the floor.

@azonenberg I was just thinking how when you burn a CD, the appearance of the data side changes for the part where you wrote something. like the worlds most affordable diffraction grating pattern, perhaps
