Is that what we call him today? Is he planning to watch the fireworks tonight?

Last time someone introduced himself as uncle Bob, he looked like this.[^]. Fireworks is probably his middle name.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

LOL I completely forgot about that! And it strikes me now, about this Uncle Bob as well: Clean Coder Blog

I hadn't realized he'd sobered up from the first already.

Sort of into jazz, man! (6)
A suspicion has just crossed my mind that the literal element in this might be a uniquely British crossword convention. So here's another, somewhat easier, clue with the same answer:
Business information store for clerical worker (6)

From the second clue:

store SHOP

BISHOP
And that leads to Walter Bishop Jr.[^] who played jazz piano.

We have a winner!
The fist clue was ISH = "sort of" getting into jazz = "BOP" leading to a (chess) man.
It was my wondering whether "man" for chess piece is ever used outside of the UK ...
I'm not familiar with Walter Bishop - must check him out. I suspect that my old man has a pile of his records somewhere.

No idea what you wanted to show us, but this is the way I air travelled in the late 1980s:

I can access it...

I accidentally cut off the last digit of the post's number when I copied the link. Now it works. Very nice way to spend some time in the air. No comparison to the Y-Tours flights I used to have.

We're thinking of moving our development environment over to VSTS, but we don't know much about it or how it works.
We are small team of 3 developers and each have a local install of Visual Studio 2017 Professional on our work PCs. We use an on-premise Team Foundation Services 2015 for all our builds and releases.
How does VSTS work? How do we develop, build and release our software using VSTS? For those that are using it, what are your thoughts?

We used VSTS/Git at my previous company. Was a smooth experience. Especially if you deploy to Azure.
|

We use it actively and are very happy with it. Its Git integration is superb, issue management is top notch (as you know it from TFS 2015) and the CI/CD capabilities are outstanding. Best thing is the Azure integration.
We also heavily use the dashboards, test management, private package feeds, and the team collaboration tools (e.g., calendar).
All in all you get the product you know already / love (TFS 2015+) in a (even) more modern design and always up-to-date mode incl. even better Azure / cloud integration. On the downside you may have downtimes / unexpected behavior from time to time (e.g., our Azure deployments sometimes "fail" out of no reason, VSTS makes some unstable updates, useful features are removed / redesigned).

I moved from Jenkins to VSTS last year and I was amazed at how easy and intuitive VSTS is.
Integration with Git and Azure is amazing, ticketing and scrum is smooth, I'm never moving back to Jenkins!
You can set up an entire CI/CD environment from VSTS to Azure with a single button click (in Azure)! 
I worked with TFS a few years ago and it was horrible, not anything near the beauty that is VSTS today (alright, "beauty" is a slight exaggeration, VSTS still has some rough edges).
I can recommend getting an @outlook.com account (if you haven't already) and check out VSTS yourself.
You can create a free account with your outlook account and invite other outlook users.
The free account even offers free private Git repositories and builds and releases

We have ASP.NET Core and Web API projects under TFS which I would like to migrate over to VSTS. Is this possible? Where can I find documentation on setting up CI / CD with VSTS?

Hey,
migrating a TFS database to VSTS has some ceremony but it works, see Migrate to Visual Studio Team Services[^]. However, you have to upgrade to the latest TFS before doing so. We have done this procedure for a moderate database of 50GB that contained ~10 projects among which was an ASP.NET+WebAPI project, but the contents of the database are of no significance. However, I would suggest that you create fresh projects using git (if you are not using it already) and keep the old ones for archival purposes. Our team was of your size when this operation was carried out ![Java | [Coffee]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) .
Setting up a CI/CD pipeline is very easy, see Create your first build and release | Microsoft Docs[^] and dotNET Core|Microsoft Docs[^]. For build, we use some hosted agents for small projects and one private agent on a VM for larger native projects. In our case, we had to migrate our xaml based build definitions to the new logic, but this was for the best  .
