I hate it when I have a revelation about a personal project late at night and I then have to wait until the following evening to actually investigate it. Pesky job that pays my salary!

Hello, my name is Stephen Rushe and I drink tea, love cats, and provide sarcasm-as-a-service. I’m also responsible for Cricsheet, a project to provide ball-by-ball data for cricket.

It’s entirely possible to walk away from supporting a sports team when the situation becomes untenable for you. I’ve done it before (though it still breaks my heart) and I’m sadly having to do it again. #Browns

I thankfully found a (relatively) local shop selling what I’m after online, so at least a Northern Ireland store is benefitting from the sale. Result!

Local independent comic shops not having a local artists newly released comic available to buy on their websites is a tad frustrating. Maybe they’re back to expecting in person business. 😩

A workman has just left and I’ve suddenly realised that I never offered him a cup of tea. I’m now mortified, and hope my family don’t disown me. Please think of me at this difficult time.

So the last day of the fantasy football season and I’m in the awkward position of being 1 win from taking the Championship for the company I’ve just left. Muwahaha!!!

Boosted! 💉Just in time to have any side effects on the first day of my new job. Still a good deal. 👏

Just lost access to work email and slack. I guess that means I can knock off early on my last day then!

This is an experimental post from a Swift App I’m hacking on. I don’t necessarily expect this to work but here’s hoping 🙏

I see “Chigs” trending on Twitter and get excited for Space: Above and Beyond news.
Damn you Bake Off! shakes fist in anger

Today, after more than 20 years together, I discovered that @manyhues didn’t know the correct lyrics to “Where’s Me Jumper” by the Sultans of Ping FC. I’m not sure what I can trust in anymore.

I’ve still not got used to the combination of nervousness, tension, and hope that comes with Mayo playing in the All-Ireland football final, even though this is the 11th time I’ve gone through this. It’s the hope that’s the hardest part. #mayoforsam

Two indications of how awkward it is debugging failing tests today… 1) I’ve just put 30ish “puts” statements into the code to tell me what is happening, and 2) The latest commit message to my local branch is just “Ooops”.

Iceland using the Jaja ding dong man for their #Eurovision results. Kudos 👏
-
In #Eurovision voting I’ve gone for Iceland, Ukraine, Portugal, Switzerland, and France, in that order. I’m not ashamed 😃
-
I always admire the French sticking to their approach to #Eurovision. They don’t care for our opinion, they’ll just do their own thing.
-
I love the Iceland #Eurovision entry more every time I hear it.

Charles Grodin in Midnight Run gave one of the great comedy acting performances. I re-watched it last year, and it’s practically perfect.

I hate to break it to any JS people out there, but I’ve successfully written an app using React, so it’s time has probably come. Might be best to move on to something else now that I’ve ruined it for everyone.

Went for my lunchtime walk and didn’t see a single cat. What’s the point of that?
-
Success 😄
-
A test post to check my new script to manage updating the site and syndicating to Twitter. Hoping that this will work 🙏

“Github now has a dark mode”. Surely they’ve had that ever since they partnered with ICE.

Yes! I knew I was forgetting something important! Also, a tree🎄
