I sold Harriet Harman some pens

John Moe @johnmoe Your most boring, mundane, inconsequential celebrity encounter. Go!

RT @shedboy63: I know the pitch is wet but Hazard is playing as if he’s wearing Converse! #SWACHE #KTBFFH

I understand that @MartinSLewis doesn’t like his face being used in ads, but the whole tattoo thing is going a bit too far

RT @IanDunt: Amber Rudd is a distraction. Theresa May is responsible for Windrush.

Does martin Lewis do adverts, or not? #Gogglebox

RT @Peston: I love this from Wenger: “I am a bit like a guy who plays Russian Roulette every week and suddenly has no gun any more. So, I will see how much I miss the gun"

RT @YouGov: What old tech can’t kids identify? Pager - 86% can’t identify Ceefax/Teletext - 86% Overhead projector - 71% Floppy disk - 67%…

Really good sessions on Powershell and Azure at @lonpsug tonight.

Looking forward to the next event:

I still haven’t worked out how to actually set the variable in the Linux environment and have it get picked up by the shell though

Tried setting it in .bashrc and /etc/environment

It doesn’t really matter, but it would feel neater than using the #Powershell $Profile

#TodayILearned that if you’re running #Powershell on @ubuntu you need to get the case ‘right’ in your $Env:PSModulePath

I guess because it’s a $Env variable the case sensitivity is determined by the Environment not the shell?

On the face of it, this looks like bad news for both Jacksonville and Tottenham Hotspur

Can’t help feeling sorry for Jacksonville

Was reminded of this chap earlier
