That !otherplace where raindrops always threaten your day but always exist in a parallel plane. https://loadaverage.org/attachment/4359690

Hmmm, the newly planted-out courgettes and carrots don't seem to have been entirely ravaged on their first night. This is... Suspicious. !grow
-
Had some really good chats at work today, one on things that annoy me, and one on a little UX design. Don't do either usually, but both felt strange and oddly productive-in-the-near-future.
-
@mangeurdenuage why I draw stuff down on paper, and encourage my team to. Or, even better, BIG FAT WHITE BOARDS which make it harder for people to interrupt you just because it looks really impressive.
-
@morph I did wonder why people didn't just put salt down everywhere ;)
-
The net has made me desensitised to emotion, in the same way that "the five colours blind one's eyes", as Lao Tzu put it. I need a detox to start feeling the world properly again. And I'm relatively detoxed already, I think. #emptytech
-
@verius I don't think that's how MS think. If they own it, they can keep it forever.

@verius Integration with Visual Studio.

@moonman faved from loadaverage.org

@sim very Thatcher ;) It's a good question though. I do find other vague terms useful though - civilisation, public sphere, culture...But it's hard to know whether these things are just zeitgeist averages and outcomes, or influential agents in their own right, like a feedback loop that ties individuals together through media and network connections.
-
@guizzy sounds about right, and I can identify. There must be ways to jolt us, to reset our trust in our habits and affiliations. Maybe a surrealist approach, like psychogeography attempts to do for the streets we subconsciously inhabit.

Know a young adult trying to work out life? I would love to send a few free copies of the Dalai Lama's book/manifesto 'A Call to Revolution' out to people it would inspire. Most positive, encouraging book I've read in ages.

UK-based for now. Please RT.

Food bank metrics will be the most interesting/useful to watch. Maybe there's a need for a dashboard for this, and others - homelessness, domestic abuse, Free School Meals are good candidates.
-
This includes students trying to earn while they study, part-time workers (biased towards mothers), or anyone trying to get on a skills ladder. The best career choice will be company administration.

Between short-term rapid changes, and no information to plan ahead 5 years, there's going to be a *lot* of people out of jobs in 3 years.
-
Wow, Brexit is really laying into the British high street now. Long leases, debt services, and rising import costs are wiping non-resilient companies *out*. It's going to be amazing to see who survives in 3 years.
