A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that’s just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it’s a joke.

At the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366. Also - if you are wondering how I have update the words at the bottom of over 100 posts at a stroke, well - THANK YOU Andy Sylvester and his Glossary plugin.

Or is there no difference?

๐ŸŽˆ112/366 I am at a good point now. Time to stop for a while and let it digest .. but still ‘goodenough’ to have a link on the site that takes you down the rabbit hole for any passing observer interested enough to click.

๐ŸŽต Years since I listened to this and as it turns out - 50 years old this year. As fresh and moving and as brilliant as it was back then.

I have a fundamental objection to Uber. (You might have heard.)

Which is why down here in New Zealand, when one of those kind of pickups is needed I use Ola.

Make that ‘used to use

๐ŸŽˆ109/366 There IS a better way.

I see lots of posts these days on LinkedIn from recent โ€˜arrivals in the work forceโ€™, where the message is some version of ..

โ€˜I am available .. if you need a python developer.โ€™

I wonder if their request might be better served by โ€˜writingโ€™

โ€˜I am available .. if you need someone to solve your (x marks the spot) problem.

I, along with a few others have many problems. We have no idea if we need โ€˜pythonโ€™ developers.
