Hello! Well this is exciting, I've somehow managed to send out 100 of these things over the last 2.5 years. Mad, huh? And because it's almost Christmas and because this issue is special, I've been working on creating a living archive of Fair Warning links that I can easily maintain as I send out new issues.It's partly for myself so that when I do talks, I can find good stuff immediately, but I'm also hopeful that other people will find it useful too. I've never seen a database of this kind of work before other than Jeremy Singer-Vine's Data is Plural archive (which inspired the archive; thanks!)I've never used DataTables before, so any suggestions on making it look less awful would be super useful; the code is on GitHub and all you need to do is reply to this email to get in touch. Or poke me on GitHub or whatever.Other than trying to solve issues with my code, this week has been alright. I have mostly been telling everyone to go for walks every day, wearing a customised hoodie of Neil Armstrong's space suit at every opportunity (YES), and getting cross about mince pies.NOW ON TO THE FUN STUFF. This issue is long. *So* long...
