Brilliant. And yet so sad.
Same as it ever was.
And you may say yourself, "My God! What have I done?"

"Stop using Excel, finance chiefs tell staffs" (in the @WSJ)
Interesting given how many #rstats friends insists on .csv and .xlsx being "salvagable" data formats. I tend to take the other side when I can.

All the cool kids are going on about the new @ibm Plex font ...
... so I cooked up a quick (inofiicial) Debian package which makes it easy to install (or remove) this on a few computers at once.

Annoyed by predatory journal spam? Me too.
Been hand-editing filter rules. But maybe we can do this jointly? New repo

Wrong time period. CRANberries is that old, but we didn't tweet all that time.
So make that "bti [twitter] client we have use for several years" ...
I think this was the first @CRANberriesFeed tweet larger than 140 char (as the hourly cadence works against longer tweets with many packages).
The bti client we have used for a decade didn't even need an upgrade. Thumbs up for good design. github.com/gregkh/bti
