But...it's so bulky, and heavy, and you can't take it all with you! So half the time when you need it, or you have a chance to read it you haven't got it there.

Me personally I read a few tech blogs also I look at the insider news here on Code Project as that a bit more wide spread that the tech / software that I currently use both inside and outside of work

Colleagues usually, and when i encounter a problem during programming i often get side tracked to new frameworks and such  .
So i guess internet is my major source.
Life's like a nose, you've got to get out of it whats in it!

Why, I use CP - ask and Bob shall provide.

I let Kent Sharkey do it for me here on CodeProject ... actually I do subscribe to a few e-mail newsletters in addition to CodeProject newsletters, including: The Register, ReadWrite Web, Robert X Cringely, ExtremeTech, Scott Hanselman, JetBrains, How-To-Geek, and some of the Stack Exchange newsletters, like the Programmers' Weekly.

I read the CodeProject newsletter each morning... Well, read is a big word, scan is more like it 
And I read blogs and articles I come across on CP and Twitter.
Don't try to keep 'too up' with technology though, because, as you say, it's a day job!
I keep up with what I need to know, and even there I'm lagging behind sometimes.
And I check out some new stuff from time to time. For example, Node.js is pretty popular so I'm checking that out for fun even if I don't need it.

The vast majority of what's out there is irrelevant to me, and even if it were, it's usually some half-baked here today, gone tomorrow flash in the pan that the media gloms into for a picosecond of fame.
The only time I care is when someone I respect shares something useful, the most recent being Git Extras[^]

titanium duck poles - I now have an image stuck in my head, call it a head-worm, of 100 ducks sitting on top of 100 shiny metal poles.
What can I do to get rid of them?

Worry about getting an alternate display name.

"Violations"? 
At least the "tions" part must be correct.

Correct, why the first bit?

I am not sure, but Google yields this[^] where it says - "Viola (who is disguised as a boy) falls in love with Duke Orsino." So maybe that's the reference in the clue?

Yes, from Twelfth Night, Viola was shipwrecked and took the identity of a boy.
It's the only Shakespeare I read at school, although I prefer the film version She's The Man.

My favourite Shakespeare is his political plays like "Love, Labour's Lost!"
