@anon_opin alright, Rob. Calm down. #b3ta

The current image challenge posed by delightful Internet place #b3ta is to photoshop comedy characters into classic artwork.

For my entry I upgraded the #EdwardHopper painting "New York Movie" with a couple of #MST3K robot friends.

This is not wrong. #b3ta

The world's first artisanally handcrafted, enterprise-grade slop generation CLI tool for maximizing your GitHub contribution graph. Because quantity is quality.

Is this useful? No.
Should I use this at work? Absolutely.
Does the generated code compile? Maybe? Probably not.

This came in via #B3ta but hilariously it recalls one of my first generative compositions from well-before the computer era, my submission to some CBC call for composers and done the old-fashioned way, graph paper and pencil, I used Conway's Live the same way, but on tablature for classical guitar.

It was a bitch to play and I didn't win any award, but in late-70's CBC 'classical' sensibilities, I submitted it as a lark, although I was serious. Well, mostly: the second section of Conway's Life for Guitar used a starting pattern that would last the duration, but was then CONSTRAINED by a musical rules of harmony using Jerome Kern's All The Things You Are to assassinate non-conforming tones and indeed, as expected, I found the notion of Harmony to be highly toxic. No one likes a composer with a sense of humour 😆

So far as I know, no recordings of my entry exist, the score is likely somewhere in the bottom of my notorious trunk so hated every moving day.

Fake or news? Not as easy as it maybe once was, but only just maybe. You get a headline and a few seconds …

Day 7 of #Dadvent - because I was out driving up and down the country visiting friends and family all weekend (hence the delay in posting).

Chris Rea's "Driving Home for Christmas" was a favourite long before it became cool again, thanks to someone who made a cute little flash video on @robmanuel's #b3ta boards back in 2002.

I'm in a lecture about fossilised plants
And they used a picture from user "b3tarev3" on Flickr

Wonder where they were from #b3ta .....

Sometimes I miss The Fear... he was much cuter than the actual horrors we have these days. #b3ta

this xmas term my choir are singing ‘Together in Electric Dreams’ by #GiorgioMorodor and #PhilOakey and I cannot currently separate it from this http://www.b3ta.com animation from probably 20 years ago. Done in flash (of course) this was a time when people could for the first time create media like this for free in their bedrooms. I was a flash developer back then and I loved all the creativity on sites like #b3ta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQ8iKccMJA8

I haven't read this, nor do I know if the url carries any affiliate code, but if Rob Manuel of @b3ta says John's last book on the Beatles vs Bond was "fucking awesome", that's good enough street-cred for me.

The badger anniversary led me to pop over to b3ta for the first time in a while. Was my first online community and the nostalgia is strong.

Also feel a bit old.

Anyhow, they have a one word challenge going on at the moment - beans - so it felt polite to join in.

@rdearman I don't think polar bears have any hands at all, and am certain that some polar bears exist which have had their left paw cut off. Maybe even both.

Bear traps and all that :(

I went to a party with a polar bear once.

Ah. Those #b3ta days. Crazy things to do with polar bears back then. #furtive things.

This is how I remember it anyway.

Bit of toilet humor in the morning?
