OH: “He's literally jumping sharks that are jumping other sharks”

Can any Fritzing experts out there suggest how I should include removable jumper/pinheader connections in my circuit designs? I can add both sides to the circuit separately, but feel I should link them together “properly” too.

And now the train I was on (late) has been terminated early. The Darkness said it best: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5OR9edcMKfM

Oh look, another sucky commute. Southern/Thameslink/etc have been bloody awful since their big timetable change a month ago.

Thanks idiots

Off to a surprise @[email protected] gig tonight that I’d completely forgotten about. Very loud band in the tiny Boiler Room in Guildford - should be awesome :)

and of course, on looking, I discover that you can use a similar method in Ruby, using "if x then y else z" instead of the usual "x ? y : z"

OK, every day IL

Just discovered that Python has the nicest ternary operator. Surprised Ruby didn't do it that way.

Henceforth all tech choices will be made using the giant choose-your-technology dice I made for the office. 🎲

In the last 24 hours I've written PHP, Python and Node.js code, and none of those were even side projects; all for my job. I quite like being a polyglot.

Just bought @[email protected]’s book, Open Revolution (https://openrevolution.net/). Looks interesting!
