Download Cricket Coach 2014 here -> cricketcoachgame.com/download.php Here's my latest DIY hardware build tutorial -> olinorwell.com/how-to-build-a… Here's my latest developer vblog, a walkthrough of my latest game, 'Letter Sprinter' -> youtube.com/watch?v=oVXlkQ…


Every so often people buy Cricket Coach 2014 from the most random of places, the last places you would imagine cricket fans would live.


NotebookLM might well be the greatest thing Google have ever released. I tested it with a long form article in Spanish, it gave me a 7 minute podcast in English. The quality was excellent, as good as a typical human. Took 4 minutes to process, was free!

Here's to the engineers, the scientists, the builders, the dreamers, the immigrant founders, many of whom can't go home for the holidays, putting in the work. Those moving techno-capital forward while the world rests. This Grindmas is for you. Keep on accelerating. 🫡


I'm sure I'm not the only one who is irritated that after paying for @X Premium they now inundate me with ads for @X Premium+. Just feels off to me.


A great uBlock Origin tip is the 'block element' feature. Right click on any part of a site, click 'Block element', then drag the sliders until the element is highlighted. You will no longer see that section on the site. I do this for 'trending' topics. Which are distracting.

Hey @ZaltzCricket, is @StuartBroad8 the first Test cricketer to hit his final ball faced for 6 and take a wicket with his final ball bowled? Surely! #Ashes2023 #ENGvAUS


Wise words, for me markdown is the perfect balance between plain text and limited sensible formatting. I’m using Joplin myself.

File over app File over app is a philosophy: if you want to create digital artifacts that last, they must be files you can control, in formats that are easy to retrieve and read. Use tools that give you this freedom. File over app is an appeal to tool makers: accept that all…

I've read a lot about the #Apple #VisionPro but nothing quite as detailed and carefully written as this by @daringfireball daringfireball.net/2023/06/first_… Definitely worth a read if you're interested in it. It sounds even better than I thought.


The problem here is not so much that it's wrong (it gets 1996 confused with 1995), but that it's convincingly wrong. How will we ever trust answers AI gives unless we verify them ourselves? Seems to me like the best use case for AI is in areas where the answer is subjective.

#ChatGPT didn't watch much @F1 in the 1990s. Note: I love @HillF1 and was just trying to add nuance.

I highly recommend this, especially when you “listen between the lines”. Plenty of tension between two highly influential tech people.

I did an hour long podcast with Boz; I think it turned out well!



This is a real problem and will only get worse as time goes on. I don't know the solution. cheapskatesguide.org/articles/real-…


Recently somebody asked me what editor I code in. @Neovim is the answer. As for languages, C++ for @ccgamesim, PHP for my SaaS software. A MacBook Air M1 is my daily driver, usually connected to a 27" for dual screen. I use a 60% keyboard by @Razer, the Huntsman Mini.


NZ just need to bowl at the stumps surely? #NZvENG This short stuff risks an edge flying for a boundary.


Coding #CC3 at 2am while watching England creep closer to another fantastic victory. The fixed co-ordinates you can see in the code is why it's taking 10 years to write a HD version of Cricket Coach... 😓 #gamedev #indiedev #cricket #NZvENG

That little DocuSign rant there was one of these things about the world that blows my mind. I think I'm going to tweet those things, in the hope that someone else out there is on the same wavelength. TL;DR - the world does 'digitally signing PDFs' in an absurdly insecure way.
