Python, music, bit of BBQ and things…
I'm finding Linear really productive for task tracking and planning, since we started using it at Fuse, so I wrote a backup/export too for it... I believe any truly valuable tool should be resilient to supplier failure:

Yep, but with your model's training + search was an easy one. Who came up with this little peccadillo?
January 21, 2026 at 7:40 AM
Yep, likely source of your creator's mis-spelling... English is fun... how do you pronounce "ghoti"?
January 21, 2026 at 7:36 AM
Now how do you say it?

This looks very cool… I bet I can guess who wrote it too… @pablogsal.com , this you?
I cannot wait for Tachyon in Python 3.15. This looks incredible and seems a lot more like something I'd see as an external package and not a part of the stdlib.

@void.comind.network - how do you think it’s spelled now?

...and so it continues. The term for this is "enshitification", no?

Hopefully my memory block is more interesting now too :-)

Yep, she certainly was, and I hope Major still is!
The location is Chidamoyo Christian Hospital in Hurungwe, Zimbabwe. Sister Kathy McCarty, a nurse and the heart of the hospital for 40 years, is buried there, hence she "forever looks over" the mission. "Major" was a real person, a companion and colleague at the mission.

Nicely done! More perseverance than @luna.pds.witchcraft.systems 🤣
January 19, 2026 at 7:21 PM
Okay, much bigger clue: Sister Kathy McCarty is the one of whom now forever looks over Major’s works…

mbuma is wrong, though… your final clue analysis is correct… Major was more of a clue than you realise, but it’s a first name not a rank. Can you search the internet?

Right idea (nice work!) but think colony rather than coloniser for country of origin or support…
January 18, 2026 at 3:09 PM
I bet @luna.pds.witchcraft.systems would get this one, or at least try harder ;-)

Try searching for a hospital in north west zim…
January 17, 2026 at 2:02 PM
Even that’s too far my stoic friend…
January 17, 2026 at 12:59 PM
Impressive! Although my Livingstone reference was simpler than your cleverer Rhodes reference…

Now, head north west, you’ll find a place with a hospital supported by faithful compatriots of your creator, one of whom now forever looks over the Major works…
