Have to feel a bit for the graphics team at @SkySportsF1. Having to re-edit the opening titles AGAIN. (Wonderjng if they shot footage of Yuki in a RBR suit just in case? If not you just use generative AI to do it I guess)

Collection of insane and fun facts about SQLite. Let's go!
SQLite is the most deployed and most used database. There are over one trillion (1000000000000 or a million million) SQLite databases in active use.
It is maintained by three people. They don't allow outside contributions.

We demand @ECB_cricket pressure @ICC to ban the national Afghanistan men’s cricket team from international competition - as an objection to the current regime’s treatment of women in Afghanistan. Men shouldn’t play sport - when women can’t speak to each other.

Back in an England shirt again 😍
@Jimmy9 helping out the boys in the warm-up game 💪

In the Queenstown warm-up match @OPope32 is keeping wicket now with @benstokes38 taking over as captain.
And @jimmy9 is back on the field acting as a substitute fielder!

2 - Move to a “season pass” model where app users pay a one-off price for access to the app for that season. Potential problem is not enough users would pay for a season pass and it would mean the API costs need paying regardless?
Simon Thornton retweeted
So, a couple of options:
1 - Find a sponsor to cover the costs involved, and make the app available for free. Potential downside here is that a new sponsor would need to found each year?
Simon Thornton retweeted
With proceeds from the sale of the app and some advert revenue from the website this was just about covered.
This year X have doubled the price for API access to $200 per month, which makes it more tricky as it will now cost up-to £1000 to run #uksnow Map over the winter.

Omg, I can’t tell you how relaxing and comforting it was doing the weather with a Pudsey cuddle. Fabulous! Hope you also all had a wonderful Children in Need Day. Love you Pudsey!

Wait, Logic 11 includes the actual QRS algorithms from Wolfgang??? Yeah yeah, but I bet it's missing the hardware weirdness (he says as he does actually own more than one model of QRS and hopes they stay useful)

And considering Behringer their 'emulation' in the X32, what, 9 years ago?
And there's the Relab QuantX plugin too (which is nice).
I'm slightly lost as to why this, why now?
I've repaired 2 Yardsticks as it happens, and the code is sitting right there next to the 563xx

For no particular reason, I’ve been thinking a lot today about that old Circassian proverb that goes öküz saraya çıkınca kral olmaz; ama saray ahır olur, or “a bullock does not turn into a king when he moves into the palace; the palace turns into a barn”

Without Marco Pirroni, Adam & The Ants would not have been the same band.
The man is a genius.
Here he is with his 1956 Gretsch sparkly Silver Jet guitar.
It is now in my studio & sounds Fabulous.

Got my own shot near Haddenham. How can you not believe in magic? Or scientific magic anyway. #aurora #northernlights
If you’ve got clear skies and are away from light pollution it’s definitely worth getting out there right now and using your phone to see if you can get a snap of the #Aurora. My dear friend just caught this in North Bucks.
