TIL: one c*nt == 180 days in British law.
We really do need to crack down on those who are cracking down on obscene language. When the court reconvened after 2pm the judge found Olly guilty of a Section 127 offence under the Communications Act 2003. The defence’s request that sentencing take place immediately was declined and he was sent for pre-sentence reports at

I’d forgotten how much I enjoy my HD600 headphones; not the /best/ but they sound great…
…also they can be worn for hours; so now I have a splitter on my MacMini audio output, one going to small speakers for ambient, and the other going into the Sennheisers. Instant coding and presentation-writing bliss.

Dinklage has an extended interview in the NYT, which ends: “I feel really lucky,” he said, then added, “although I hate that word —
