I've had flying lessons cancelled for many different reasons so far: Bad weather, oil spill on runway, aircraft out for maintenance, and instructor had to cancel due to his main job. But today's cancellation was something even today's instructor hadn't seen before.

The card reader on the fuel pump didn't work and thus we couldn't fuel up the aircraft!

Bloody hell.

At work having slept only 4, 5 and 2 hours respectively in the last three days. I'm unsurprisingly just staring at the screen and waiting for the hours to go by.

I've been thinking about my next Maidenfans project after Best Eddie is done (gonna try to speed that up and do 2-3 reviews at once). I've been wondering about word clouds.

Tell us about word clouds.

Tell us about word clouds.

I've been wondering if it might be fun to get members to write album reviews, and then put the reviews into a word cloud to try to get a nice visually pleasing display of what people think about the various albums. I might even go through the Commentary threads and put them into a document to test it.

I always got a day off school on St. Andrews Day.

That's school, dude. Schools take holidays willy nilly. Literally nobody in employment takes St. Andrew's Day off.

It's a review of a song, not of a tour!

Can you do a word cloud of a thread?

Can you do a word cloud of a thread?

That was where that came from, but I had to manually enter it (copy and paste the content) otherwise it would come up with a lot of names and stuff.

Ah, I see. Word clouds of particular members would be fun. Night Prowler's would be "Barlow, sad, weak, witch hunt, fraud" and Travis' would be "super, sweet, for, sure, Thanks Obama".

That would certainly take a lot of effort to create.

Someone who knows a decent amount about web editing would be able to strip only the posts out of the threads I'm sure.

Not a normal day though. This was filmed during "Sail Amsterdam", a multi-day event with lots of tall ships from all over the world.
It's held every 5 years. Next time will be 12 to 16th August 2020. More info:

Many Nordic fighting men their swords and shields all gleam

[Forostar]

Check that poor blue boat. Needs to cross a lot and has to go through the mass!

It is indeed quite a spectacle.

As I'm hearing the sound of the harbor
Where our sailors and traders call
I imagine the way of the workers
Through the anguish they still stand tall

I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat) I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat)
Everybody look at me
'Cause I'm sailing on a boat (sailing on a boat)
I'm on a boat (I'm on a boat) I'm on a boat
Take a good hard look at the motherfucking boat (boat, yeah)
