Matthieu - Shadoniste 🌙<p>Avant de partir en vacances de l'autre côté de la Manche, il me semblait pertinent de parler de l'un des auteurs anglais qui ont influencé mon style, et peut-être une partie de mes crises existentielles (en tout cas, la façon dont je les gère).</p><p>Et vous?

Fedora Linux 42 was released today and over at HelloTux, there’s new swag (a towel 
) and with the discount code FEDORA5, there’s some discount available.

Happy 42 and don’t panic. A good hitchhiker always knows where their towel is.
Stephen Fry is getting knighted for his services to charity.
He's known as the voice of the Guide in the #HitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy movie, as well as narrating the audiobook, and was a great friend of Douglas Adams.
Congratulations!
Couldn't let today pass without mentioning D.N.A. - **Douglas Noel Adams** was born this day in 1952, tragically leaving us far too early 49 years later.
So long and thanks for all the fish mate. 
Continued thread
I also got to describe a mimic the way I've always wanted to: always as the object it's mimicking, not as a mimic.
"Your axe is stuck to the door"
"The door punches you"
Fighting a mimic should be like the Haggunenons in #HitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy. "Get off me you filthy sofa!"
I personally have no practical use for this WHATSOEVER… but I bought it nonetheless.
Massive sound library from the #BBCRadiophonicWorkshop. It is so cool!

“Isn’t it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?” - Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
“One of the things Ford Prefect had always found hardest to understand about humans was their habit of continually stating the obvious... At first Ford formed a theory to account for this human behaviour. If human beings don't keep exercising their lips, he thought, their mouths seize up. After a few months' consideration and observation he abandoned this theory in favour of a new one. If they don't keep on excercising their lips, he thought, their brains start working.”
So true. Thanks B. for reminding me of it.
That is an Arthur Dent homage in the #DoctorWho Christmas Special, isn't it? Also amused by the sight of a Mr Benn's Clothing Emporium
Ford and Arthur Dent
The air was filled with a brick
He threw it aside
Two million years ago
With a gesture he cut it
He leapt to his feet
