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[^]

Rules were broken when (s)he was shipwrecked with titanium duck poles (10)
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

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!"

I just heard on the wireless that the great Mr King has passed away.
An amazing talent.

The greatest guitarist, the meanest bluesman and pretty damned active in the daddying department.

I regret never seeing him live, he is one of the people who influenced my guitar playing.
RIP Mr. King

The thrill is gone.
I saw him playing a few years ago with Peter Green as the support act. BB said more with one note than most musicians say in a lifetime. I will miss him and I thank him for his influence. No modern blue guitarist can say he plays the blues with out that semi-tone bend going into the major pentatonic. Trust me - this does make sense.

Radio 4 managed to turn it into an excuse for playing a track he recorded with U2. Seriously, decades of output and they chose that, he totally outclassed Bono.
