I do miss when MTV used to play music videos. I even miss VH1, for godsake.

Is this what getting old means?

TFW your spouse's iMac has 20Mb(!) free out of 2Tb because they tried to use Adobe Cloud for something and now all attempts to reboot keep hanging (filesystem is okay, though) so the next step is to try for Target Disk mode and a cable to a laptop in order to delete cached junk and logfiles until it will boot enough for them to clean up properly …

UNIXen have never been great about coping with full disks/SSDs, but this is a new nadir, and fuck you very much, Adobe Creative Suite.

One week until I have to start shilling the #RYOMS. Beat the rush! Sign up for the announcement and back it during the first hour, then you can mute the hashtag. :flan_flaneur:

Half of me wants to write some fanfic, the other half just wants to go to bed and hide under the covers.

My own person two-wolves problem. The third wolf is running around in a circle, snarling at its own tail. I think that one's the Revision Wolf.

The writeup for the "Run Your Own Mail Server" says that the book is at the copyeditor.

Which means I have nine days to get the book to the copyeditor. :flan_yikes: #ryoms

Apparently the April/May FreeBSD Journal came out while I was overwhelmed? It contains my platform-agnostic advice column, "We Get Letters."

Stopped by the #ryoms Kickstarter to see how it's doing, because I'm exhausted.

It's not quite binary, but it is the number of usable addresses in a /24, so I can rest easy.

Me: "Do or do not, there is no try" is bogus. There is ONLY "try." You try and you try and you try, with focused intention and deliberate practice, until you succeed.
