Nicely done #dhl Damage a package, deliver it a day late, add a label giving me the right to reject it, then hand it to a driver who dumped it on the doorstep, rang the doorbell and ran away before I could see what syate it was in. A video doorbell, may I add...

Bug of the week: Hit the N key instead of the L. Unfortunately I was typing 'int walkspeed'. That wasn't what I had in mind...

35 years? Oh jesus... Happy birthday Nevermind.

So it turns out that Right-wingers are just as crap at game development as they are at comedy.

I was turned down not too long ago for a job writing logic for what are effectively large robot vacuum cleaners because I 'wasn't qualified'. And here I am sat staring at mine, which has once again failed to determine if a point is in an axis-aligned bounding box and gotten stuck...

Third row seats for Billy Corgan doing Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness? Oh go on then. 15 year old me would shit himself if he saw this. Doubly so if he knew how I got the money...

The entire town is suffering a power outage. If only I had a 77kw battery kicking around I could plug things into... Oh wait - turns out I do.

I love the way Buienradar jumps from 'it won't rain in the next 3 hours' to 'it's raining right now and if you go back one hour I always said it was raining' in an instant. I love it a lot less when I'm 10 minutes from home walking the dog though.

Today I learned that Winnie the Pooh can't handle his drink

Well that's one way of making sure you're awake and caffienated before arriving at the airport...

#vueling: what a pity - we're going to have to split you up onto separate sides of the plane, several rows apart. Also #vueling: you can choose freely from half the syandard seats in the plane to sit together if you pay us 100 euros. Fucking hate that level of cynicism...

Why do streaming services such as #Disneyplus and #appletv claim to have certain shows if you look on their website but if you log in to the app to watch them they aren't there? Imagine if you paid a subscription based on that information...

Kids: It's 2026. Knock-a-door-a-run doesn't really work if the house you picked has a video doorbell.

Hey #NPO. You're broadcasters, right? You do know what a 'bottom third' is? Might be better than talking over #pinkpop performances...

<Googles how to enable a UI button in an app> <AI pushes all other results to the bottom and insists you need to click the button which is currently hidden> Can we *please* put AI on the backburner until it's not completely shit?

Well... bollocks. :(

Hey #Avast Nothing says 'trustworthy security software' more than a sneaky unauthorised drive-by silent install along with another app, does it? I didn't install your browser, I didn't ask for it. As far as I'm concerned that makes it #malware

Okay I give up. I ordered a #C64 ultimate. Kind of curious what you can do when you have a seconds worth of CPU cycles in a single frame.

That would explain the references to nonexistent and unexplained variables, functions that don't exist and random inclusion of functions from other APIs I've seen... Can we just stop this? Please?

They won't by playing 'Sway' by Coal chamber at #rockcity for a while...

Can anybody remember what the actual hell I was doing with my personal project code before I went on holiday? I have a half-finished git commit, and no idea whatsoever...

To the #PostNL employee who turned up with a package, poked my door instead of ringing the bell and walked off 10 seconds later: Did you notice that I have a video doorbell?

Cheers #odido

I could just watch this all day...

I'm not sure what the failure rate on #Hyundai Ioniq ICCUs is, but it looks like mine just joined the party. Dammit!

Ahh for Smegs sake...

I can't see this being a household name in the UK to be honest. 'I've got just the thing for that! I'll just get my Knobbout...'

Happy 35th #Lemmings anniversary! Who'd have thought, 35 years later we'd still be talking about these little guys. #Amiga #MSDOS #AtariST #Commodore #Atari #DMADesign #Psygnosis #RETROGAMING #Lemmings35th Read about it's making here lemmings.info/lemmings-gam...

Wait. When the actual living HELL did my taste in music get named 'Divorced dad rock'?!?! Really?

Ahh... the joy of personal projects where nobody is judging your naming conventions or git checkin comments...

The new Telltale adventure game is a bit of a disappointment...

I guess the plumbers have a union too, then...

Protip for Dutch residents: If you spend the rest of your new years holiday playing Doom or Quake it's like new years eve, but with less explosions and burning...

I know the industry is full of people who want to directly contribute to the next awesome game and make their mark, but right now I'm writing some tool stuff and it's weirdly zen and satisfying... Is that just me? Am I wierd?

If this is what sinterklaas sent to me this year then I'd love to know what I did to piss him off...

Dear charity collectors, I don't give at the door because I know that I need to donate for months just to cover your cut. I skip straight to direct donations. I just don't feel like funding your weekend beers in place of whatever situation you're exploiting. So bugger off.

Does anybody know a way around the bol.com chatbot to get to an actual human being? It's bloody useless and everything pushes you to it.

It had to happen eventually...

Here's a random computing question: *Apricot were around first. *Apple wanted to be in the phone book before Apricot *Acorn wanted to slip in before Apple *The Dutch.... went with Tulip. Why? Aardbei (strawberry) was right there and basically unbeatable. Why throw away a victory like that?

Well that's my vote in. Spoiler alert: It wasn't Wilders. #TweedekamerVerkiezing

'Now just add multiplayer'

Buienradar keeps referring to 'Depression Storm Amy', which sounds like a great title for an emo song...
