@consumablejoy ooh, spin it anyway! Life is too short not to spin the nice fibre. You'll be making some unique yarn that will never be repeated. Just work slowly with stops to make sure you've got stuff drafted and you'll be fine!

@consumablejoy I am backing their Kickstarter for the 6th year, and I love the yarn! The only gotcha is that it comes with the spinning oils still in, and you need to follow their washing instructions to get it out, basically hot water and dish soap.

I organised the yarn closet yesterday, and while you cannot see anything different from the outside, I know for a fact that I can now slide the door open and I will not be hit by falling yarn.

Also all my ULA+LIA yarn is together and sorted by species (camel, yak, and sheep), which pleases me. I have enough for a cardigan from each species, might need some more yak just in case though.

A page from my fountain pen ink journal, I am slowly filling this up as I use new inks.

The notebook is from Quo Vadis with bright white paper, I only write on one side because the swatches are done with a paintbrush and can bleed through a bit.

@curiouscat interesting read, thank you! That fear of looking different to your peers is big, I think it stops a lot of good behaviour.

I'm thinking about a #blog post on 'common sense about management and teams that is not that common.' Catchy title, right?

What would you include? So far I have: asking for help, assuming others know stuff you don't, actually listening when people help you, having in-person gatherings periodically, and bribing people with really good chocolate.

Please boost for reach! Thank you!

I don't despise it, but it bugs me how it is described as something with an agency of its own, and given human behaviour like "hallucinations." AI is not hallucinating, it's a slurry of stolen copyrighted works spat out in statistically probable arrangements by a mathematical model.

AI doesn't know left from right, and right from wrong, and that sentence would flummox it utterly.

I learned today that there is an update to my favourite IETF RFC 2324 (Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol), which is RFC 7168 (The HTCPCP for Tea Efflux Appliances)!

As part of a deliberately buggy web app written for interviewing software testers, we implemented the HTTP 418 error. I've taught my new team the 418 via my t-shirt.

A lace wrap is on a kitchen counter. The wrap started with a mustard yellow, the next colour is a coppery orange, the third colour is a red-orange.

Marie is a 6yr old Maine Coon mix, who is generally irritated by Hunter. Hunter is a 1yr old Savannah who adores Marie and just wants to play with, wrestle, and chase her. His fur is so short it is like a buzz cut.
