Ctrl-Alt-Del / Re: A random thread for small computing things that don't really warrant a thread of their own

Hurrah!  Someone has finally come up with a wee program that can create/modify $TRUCK_SIMULATOR texture object files* in bulk instead of my having to laboriously cut'n'paste Stuffs one file at a time into a wanky Thing that doesn’t do keyboard shortcuts, like I have been for the past Several of years

* part-ASCII and part-gibberish so can’t be fed through normal text editors

On Friday, I was in a pub in Stourbridge - a Batham's pub, so excellent beer - where a pint of mild was £2.80. Regular price, not special offer, mind.


Today, I was in Knowle, Solihull, in a distinctly average Chef & Brewer where a pint of Greene King IPA (so not really an IPA) was £5.

I have 5 from 6 of each of the 2 sunflower varieties I sowed, no courgettes yet, but I think they took longer last year.

Orbital at the Troxy in London last night. The green & brown albums in full, plus a few other tracks to finish. Smashing (unlike the weather on the journey to and fro).

Thank you. I also found some folding (flat) bars, but I'm not sure I'd trust those.
