In fact a far better answer to the question "Why do bell peppers come in different colors" is "Because plant breeders made that happen by selecting different varieties".

Can't think why a respected organisation would link to this. It is wrong on so many levels. Final colour at maturity is a heritable trait. Different varieties mature to different colours.

You can get good help

I managed to fix a long-standing niggle with my practice this afternoon, thanks to some great help from cweiske and others. For the longest time Quill, a micropub client that I can use to publish here, wasn't showing me an option to syndicate directly to Twitter. That meant that I tended reply to tweets and stuff right there in the silo and not bring them back here. Fair enough, especially when a reply without context is like an egg without salt. But we figured it out, in part by that old standby of "switch it off and then switch it back on again". That got things working, and was enough of an impetus to upgrade WithKnown to the latest build. And so far, everything looks good.

This is another test

Upgraded Known to latest build; everything seems to be OK but if you spot anything odd, please let me know.

It is slightly odd to see the mad rush away from Facebook. Everything old is new again.

With a whole two days still to run on the trial, I plunked down good money for [Tyme-app](https://www.tyme-app.com/mac-2/). It is just so much better than one I was using before. Night and day.

Blimey! I just started another Coursera offering this morning, and this evening I get an email imploring me to look at another 24 courses. Who do they think I am?

I haven't done the Micro Monday thing before now; Mondays are often a bit busy. But today, I’m going to suggest @modernlittleme for a different perspective on life.
