In today's news:
(a) I did a lot of boring plumbing that got Idris (n+something) into a state where FOUR cannot be far away
(b) I got blocked by a specialist ukulele shop on Instagram, that I've spent a lot of money with, because I dared to criticise them for using AI for a thing that really didn't need it.
Not sure if I'm prouder of (a) or (b) but I'm going to keep doing (b).
Also in the last half hour I've written a song about (b) because that's what I do now. Honestly it's so much healthier (and exactly as effective) as yelling at clouds.

@edwinb is that FOUR = 2 + 2 or FOUR = 2 * 2?

@dysfun 2+2 first, but really if you can do 2+2 you can do 2*2 and you can also do a well typed interpreter if you're doing everything else right.
But you probably knew that already :).

@edwinb i'm also amused by the concept of a non-specialist ukelele shop

@dysfun Pretty much any music shop would do it. I bought my first ukulele from Argos. It was made pretty much entirely from orange paint. I threw it out although I'm kind of sad I didn't keep it now.

@edwinb I know you don't want to write a song about (a), and probably shouldn't, but...

@pigworker It will happen. @pdcawley once challenged me to write a thing proving that 99 bottles of beer reached a conclusion, so I did. Nobody needs to hear it though.

@pigworker I always need a bass player of any form and would be up for any kind of shenanigans because life is too short not to be

@bhaktishh I've developed a habit at the moment of doing that twice a day, for... reasons... (Though I have checked anyway and I will give a sensible answer tomorrow!)

@bhaktishh I think the most important thing for tomorrow is that you should amuse yourself because I'll be on the road until next Thursday but also if you want to talk I can make it work!

@edwinb can't wait to hear you skewer an AI-infested ukelele shop.... with a ukelele?

@stonebear2 and, it turns out, a harmonica.
No skewering though, really. Just disappointment.
