Tom Morris: Introducing awfulness.js

tommorrisdotorg:

Is your website too boring, functional and usable? Want to make it more exciting and “responsive”? Just include awfulness.js and you can benefit from all these new features.

Badly reimplemented statefulness

In the old days of Web 1.0, long before we created Backbone.js and other client-side…

Keep up the good work!

cheers

“Such piss-takingly shit, antisocial parking I find it hard to believe it wasn’t actually intentional. For additional wanker points, most of the rest of the car park was full. Do only cunts buy 4x4s, or does owning one make you turn into one?”

We’re not sure of the answer to this interesting question but we think it’s something that’s inbred into the sort of self-important cunt who buys one. We also like the use of your phrase “piss-takingly shit”. It’s glows with poetry.

I am definitely making up for a Legoless childhood, just picked up the Shuttle Expedition set.

Those who have turned down Queen's honours

atlumschema:

Notably John Lennon, Roald Dahl, Francis Bacon, Robert Graves, Philip Larkin, Aldous Huxley, Evelyn Waugh, CS Lewis.  This is a much more inspiring and intriguing list than that of those who accept them. 

This is the full list

Last week’s training (Base1 Week2)

Total 5hr 10min 
Swim: 40min 
Bike: 2hr 30min 
Run: 2hr 
Plus some medicine ball core work 

All good hit my targets and volume was up from 3hrs the week before. About 30minutes of this was because I did more commutes to work than planned and also the fall out from the moved/dropped turbo session.

I feel like I am landing a little hard on my left foot when running so I’ll need to watch that I don’t want to get an injury and ignoring such niggles in the way down that path with out a doubt.


Other numbers 

ATL = 39 
CTL = 29 
TSB = -10 
Total Trimp this week = 375

Last week’s training (Base1 Week1)

Total : 2:56

Swim : 00:27

Bike : 00:45

Run : 01:44

Core : 00:20

Ever so slightly lower than planned as I moved my rest day from Monday (the first day of each week) to Sunday (the last day of each training week).  This ultimately means I have lost 70mins from my years training but means I am more likely to hit my weekly goals through work/life balance

Pretty pleased all in all

It’s a time-honored tradition at Navy homecomings – one lucky sailor is chosen to be first off the ship for the long-awaited kiss with a loved one.
Today, for the first time, the happily reunited couple was gay.

The dock landing ship Oak Hill has been gone for nearly three months, training with military allies in Central America.

As the homecoming drew near, the crew and ship’s family readiness group sold $1 raffle tickets for the first kiss. Petty Officer 2nd Class Marissa Gaeta bought 50 - which is actually fewer than many people buy, she said, so she was surprised Monday to find out she’d won.

Her girlfriend of two years, Petty Officer 3rd Class Citlalic Snell, was waiting when she crossed the brow.

They kissed. The crowd cheered. And with that, another vestige of the policy that forced gays to serve in secrecy vanished.

Voyager 1 Encounters Stagnation Region

NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft has entered a new region between our solar system and interstellar space, which scientists are calling the stagnation region. In the stagnation region, the wind of charged particles streaming out from our sun has slowed and turned inward for the first time, our solar system’s magnetic field has piled up and higher-energy particles from inside our solar system appear to be leaking out into interstellar space. This image shows that the inner edge of the stagnation region is located about 113 astronomical units (10.5 billion miles or 16.9 billion kilometers) from the sun. Voyager 1 is currently about 119 astronomical units (11 billion miles or 17.8 billion kilometers) from the sun. The distance to the outer edge is unknown.

£4.3 million for this, the new World’s most expensive photo by Andreas Gursky. I might pop down to the Sherbourne and take some shots of brown trout. I don’t know much about art, I think this is a nice abstract photo but think I could spend £4.3 million on a few more things.
