That’s a great read. The next time you’re contemplating using Gill Sans font have a read of the personal life of its creator Eric Gill.

Eric Gill

[PhattPike]

His religious views and subject matter contrast with his sexual behaviour, including his erotic art, and (as mentioned in his own diaries) his extramarital affairs and sexual abuse of his daughters, sisters, and dog.

If you can’t trust a map making stranger on the Internet then who can you trust

[PhattPike]

Is that not a Tan sign, thus proving the Julio’s map above?

The Irish one in the background seems to contradict him though

The destinations in parentheses are not reached by the N3 alone and so are exceptions to the rule. I mean everyone knows that.

@Massey will be along shortly to deliver a detailed report on how to transport a trailer of suck calves from Beleek to Manorhamilton without seeing those road signs…
That’s his neck of the woods.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’ve never understood Twitter.

It reminds me of a place I once went for an interview in Dublin.

I came out of the interview thinking, who does any real work in this company? It was just all about codding customers into thinking they were getting a service. A company for bullshitters.

I didn’t get the job.

So you stuck with the private sector, understandable.

Twitter has some of the best infrastructure and software in the tech industry. Its almost gold standard

I was talking to a female friend recently. She told me about the short time she spent working in Google and how it was like a cult. It’s an American company so everything has to be happy and everything amazing all the time.

My female friend said that right at the start Google gives all their new employees secret training on the correct use of emojis. A Google employee should never use a smiling emoji - too weak. Instead they should use the winking emoji as much as possible because it implies that the employee is “in the know” and holds the power in the relationship.
