Bah! Rubbish performance today.
Now for the third time, after checking out the dev branch, upgrading to PHP 8.1 and running composer.phar update, let us see whether we can post a new status update here.

OK, this is weird, but I find it hard to believe that yesterday's word and today's came up purely randomly.

@artkavanagh I agree, in my head. But my heart says no. The whole business of people not understanding random, so they have not enough sequences in numbers and so on, is fascinating. But I think @cdevroe should weigh in. He did say he was making tweaks ...

I try to make my site look good on mobile, but that isn’t my primary concern. Not too difficult with so many good responsive basic packages available.

Tricky one, and also, entirely remote.
It truly is like magic being able to use my desktop computer from far away, and will be even better when I can work out how to summon Alfred. I use option-space on the Mac and cannot for the life of me work out how to send that from my iPad. Do you know?

@jeremycherfas what are you using to connect? Screens? edovia.com/en/screen...

@jeremycherfas it should be - bring up the virtual keyboard, double tap the Option key and hit space. Is that not an option for you?
Use Command and Space keys and type Alfred into the Spotlight search box?

@jeremycherfas I switched to Screens finding it more usable/reliable but they are probably much of a muchness these days.

@jeremycherfas In a way, I find it hard to believe that they could have come up like that otherwise than randomly. Remember how the iPod Shuffle had to be made “less random” because it kept doing things that didn’t look random (playing successive tracks from the same album etc). OTOH, nothing produced by a computer is truly random, since the system is unavoidably deterministic. Today’s answer would have been my first attempt yesterday, till the third letter came up pink. Today, I got it in one, with no backspaces.
