@benjohnbarnes Although, thinking about it, I may go for something smaller, as it would seem a little odd to have a monitor the same size as my actual TV…
@benjohnbarnes Makes sense. My own laptop and the work laptop are both USB-C so it could come in handy either way.
@benjohnbarnes Ta.
@benjohnbarnes Yup. And I’m not an admin. Also, there are likely Rules as well as software/hardware issues. Daresay having a spare 4K monitor lying around wouldn’t be a terrible thing.
@benjohnbarnes My problem is that I probably can’t use the nice iMac as a display for the work laptop. But I’m going to defer that decision until someone actually tells me I’m working from home…
@AthanSpod See, I remember The Gaffer as a lunchtime show. Maybe I caught a repeat, or something.
@AthanSpod Clearly The Gaffer was more popular than I expected.

@OpinionatedGeek @davidbeginagain Aw yeah. Whiz Kids, or “we need to cash in on WarGames but can’t afford to pay for the intellectual property rights or actual scriptwriters…”
@davidbeginagain @OpinionatedGeek No, no, I’m definitely with you on Airwolf (I wonder if Robert Lansing auditioned for the Archangel part; it was clearly his kind of thing!) But now we’re straying into complete non-obscurity 😅 If we had to bundle something with Automan and Street Hawk it’d be Blue Thunder!
@djelibeybi_meg Sadly my narrow hall doesn’t make for easy snaps. That may be just as well as my clinging to nostalgic favourites makes mine an odd mix of last-ten-years and teenage me. #bookshelfie pic.twitter.com/FOdxL6Lp8Q
@davidbeginagain @OpinionatedGeek Holy crap! Only just remembered that Robert Lansing (Control from _The Equalizer_) was in Automan too :)
@OpinionatedGeek @davidbeginagain @shezza_t I don’t recognise the name but the plot definitely rings a bell.
@davidbeginagain @OpinionatedGeek Oh, yes indeed. Very much enjoyed those as a kid. Though if I had to choose among that time and genre, it’d probably be Street Hawk for me. youtube.com/watch?v=CCItnK…
@OpinionatedGeek @davidbeginagain Neither of them ring a bell. But in an obscure US-TV-related note I have just found out that _Have Girls, Will Travel_ was actually called _The American Girls_ and had its named changed for the UK market for some reason… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ameri…

@OpinionatedGeek I honestly only tracked down _Luna_’s name by being able to remember the lyrics to a fragment of “We’re Porting along on a Tidal Displacement” and much desperate googling.

@lilydoughball *GUILTY FACE*
@lilydoughball Now feeling guilty because I have accidentally stockpiled Yorkshire tea (I only realised when I brought the new box home and tried to put it exactly where the new box I’d bought the day before already was! D’oh.)
ChuckWendig Just a reminder that when infinite monkeys were quarantined because of the plague, they wrote Shakespeare.

@CharlieVivante You live in Bristol. Walking would be faster anyway, right? 😀

@robsmallshire @svenpet I got an office job last month, but for the couple of years before I was working from a corner of my lounge, so at least my nest is already set up :) pic.twitter.com/wvYWk5F00q

_aijaz_ Hello. My name is Aijaz. I have been a professional “devloper” for 25 years. I have been writing iOS apps for 10 years. I have given several talks on “Advanced Debugging.”
Tonight I just fixed a curious bug with print statements.
Whatever works. No shame. pic.twitter.com/Jy4T47cIwz
@unamccormack I think it may finally be time to declutter my overstuffed bookshelves. Which is odd, seeing as I was effectively working from home in social isolation for about two years solid until last month anyway. Maybe it’s some kind of spring cleaning solidarity.
