The urge for me to go full and switch to / for my notes system has been strong the last few days

Felt old this morning…someone was talking about their Spark cluster for training a model and I was wondering why they were using such old hardware.

Did someone piss in the drivers' coffee this afternoon? Had a couple encounters with some whacky aggressive honking drivers on tonight's
Unfortunately for them they pale in comparison to the outright homicidal drivers I used to encounter regularly 30 years ago on Boston's streets. Really, is that the best you can do? Yawn.

I've hit the point on the process where when I get asked how long I have been working with Microsoft Windows/Linux/MacOS I have to put 15+ years in for everything. Is this what a feels like?

Time to run around all my meetings saying "You shall not pass!" to the Balrogs I guess.

I will happily admit I am being biased by the factor. So take this as exaggerated. What is the typical answer to all "why does suck?" is the (fake) promise of monetisation through centralisation. E-Mail. Blogging. Newsletters. You name it. And no, it isn't always about 3E. Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. It happens. I've seen it. But it is also caused by neglect of us, the wieder community. is a positive way to reverse that trend. Solutions instead of problems :)

TIL about RFC2919. And how you shouöd really stick to it in a simple way. Your List-ID for any mailing list should be DescriptiveNameWithoutADot.YOURDOMAIN.TLD. And you should configure DescriptiveNameWithoutADot@YOURDOMAIN.TLD as a working e-mail address that is the Reply-To address.

My scripts don't like y'all using modern mailing list managers that spit out List-IDs like <nyt.1.0.sparkpostmail.com> where a style <NYTBreaking@nytimes.com> would be far better.

My first computer was a Commodore 64. It was a big day when I upgraded from cassette storage to a giant 5-1/4” floppy disk with a whopping 170Kb of storage! If I hadn’t missed out on BBS’s back then, I might have been a CS major.

Just learned we're sunsetting an app.

Founding CTO told me point-blank: "That app is not going anywhere." Dev activity, sales buzz, & instincts said otherwise.

I wrote a quickstart & online help practically on spec. Ultimately we whitelabeled the docs for customers.

Now it's all done.

Mixed feelings: I'm proud of what we delivered. I'm also ecstatic to direct the maintenance time & energy at current & emerging stuff.

Today was chest day. I have no aim of getting swole or big. At 60, I want to stay firm, fit and healthy.

I'm posting workout pics this week for accountability: Various reasons, some solid, some flimsy, kept me from my routine this Fall. As you are my whiteness, I'm back at it!

On the excellent @talkpython podcast live stream tonight, one of the guests mentioned that @micropython fits in 256k. I was reminded my own beard is now grey ( engineers had been mentioned) when I remembered that 20 years ago when I joined my employer as an there was a really difficult problem to solve: how could we free up 512 bytes of the 8k flash memory to accomodate a third-party software component that had ballooned to a whopping 1024 bytes.

Hey folks, just a quick little intro as I get things set up here. I'm a streamer over on Twitch and a Twitter refugee looking to find my old friends and make some new ones on the way. More coming soon as I find my feet and get a bit more sleep.
