Ok, let's figure this out with SCIENCE (a mastodon poll)!
If someone calls you a "chad", is that...? 🤔
Please share. Thx 👏

An interview with Ken VanDine, Ubuntu desktop lead at Canonical https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2022/05/an-interview-with-ken-vandine-ubuntu-desktop-lead-at-canonical/ #Interview #Ubuntu #Meta
I'm selling a few of my classic arcade boards on eBay. Currently Salamander 2, Green Beret, R-Type II & Side Arms. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/popeydc/m.html
Got a laptop bag as a gift over the weekend. I didn't know they did men's and women's laptop bags...
Playing some OpenSpades. Come and watch me be terrible at it live on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1GZ8WpFvKA
If you're looking for some nerdy #Linux content, Wolfgang's Channel is my absolute favourite YouTube place. Well made, friendly, articulate, thoughtful, non-clickbait and pretty. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/c/WolfgangsChannel/
Never ceases to amaze me that my little OpenSpades server is often the most busy one of all. It's maxed out at 32 players right now. I can't even get on! :D

Drove 72 miles to an office this morning. Battery level is 50%. Wonder if I can make it back home, the same journey, roughly same distance, without charging... 🤔🔋🔌
How's your day going. I just batted a large mug of coffee all over my computer, desk, mouse, mat, controller, wall... basically everything is now covered in milky coffee...
Oopsie.
Hm. This Commando board is super grubby and tatty in places. Need to get some isopropyl alcohol I guess.
Hah! I knew if I was lazy enough, for long enough, eventually Google would relent and let me use G-Suite Legacy for free!
Last one of the day, R-Type II, a classic shoot-em-up from 1989. Time to let it go.
Next up, letting my Side Arms board go. Used to play this as a kid so much in the arcades of Aldershot. Happy memories. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284818089444
Time to start letting more of my classic arcade boards go. Here's Green Beret by Konami. Bid high, and bid often! 💰
Hope it goes to a good home! 🤞

Lunchtime today was spent playing Green Beret! I knew there was a good reason I kept this 14" Sony Trinitron from 1990!

Busted out the Weber on the one day of sunshine this year, to cook a pre #eurovision burger or two!
