Workroom PlayTime 021: cat, head and tail

Jun 17, 2025

We'll gather on Zoom / Miro, on Thursday 19 June at 3pm London time (local time for you) to play together with testing stuff. We'll play with the command-line tools cat, head and tail. If you're on the email list, you'll know that I shipped the date before the content... links to follow.

These exercises are for everyone, for free. Paying Subscribers get to play together every week. This week's is open to subscribers and friends. Subscribers will see joining info below. Pop your name on the Miro board if you're coming.

In other news:

  • Here's Weird Word 2 about an odd iOS moment – can we send a transcribed voice message about M&S? We can... but people on iOS devices won't receive it.
  • Here's a video 'Live at EuroSTAR' with Leandro Melendez (Señor Performo) and I talking about testing and playing and stuff.

  • Dates for the following will need to be in July, probably in the first week or two, as I don't see a letup to give me time to set up otherwise. 1) a session on Exploratory Interfaces 2) a re-run of the EuroSTAR session 3) a small group on those environments. Ping me if you want to put your name in for any of those.

Cheers –

James
