Sometimes it's just easier to reflash the SD card!

Raspbian sometimes gets itself in a real twist - I seem to have a Catch-22 that I can't install npm because of a dependency on node which I can't update because npm isn't installed, or something.
Anyway, after a good hearty e2fsck to get the corrupted file system back together, I've rescued the files I need and can now reflash it.

How's your day going? :)

I'm very pleased to announce what some of us have been doing this Summer at IBM: a 3D-printed model of the
#IBM #Quantum System Two, with a built-in #RaspberryPi running #qiskit quantum software (including simulator).
You can actually write and run Quantum programs on it! How cool is that?
Still in beta, but...

My good friend Jeroen van de Waal has written a book about how we can together "save the oceans" (very very loosely paraphrased!).
It's launched today, and just 99p for a couple of days (on Kindle, obvs, to save paper).

Ooof - this needed some head scratching - one of my apps (which uses timetable data) was an hour off for all of yesterday, but was magically fine today.
Turns out, I was using midnight of "today" as the reference.
Of course, the clocks didn't go back until 2am, so at midnight it was, in fact, still BST, so all the departures were an hour off.
It took an extra long time in the shower to figure that one out!

Thanks to @ralight … without your inspired work, MQTT would certainly not be where it is today! :)
