"Why am I so tired"

Oh, it's because I stayed up late trying to figure out why a group of Portuguese real-estate agents are keyword-stuffing company names, and why a guy called Neville has spent 22 years creating hundreds of companies that make him look like a judge.

I just wanted to know what the longest company name was and two hours later I was in the Neville Corporate Universe

One of the worst parts about getting older is realising that people you once admired are actually complete muppets

jonty,
@jonty@chaos.social avatar

Which makes me worry: By looking up to them, did I follow in their muppet footsteps

jonty,
@jonty@chaos.social avatar

@PaulGrahamRaven Agreed, but the worst of them were always muppets, you just didn't have enough experience to spot it yet

jonty,
@jonty@chaos.social avatar

@kim The problem is that muppets with influence often have enormous footsteps that leave marks everywhere

I am sat next to someone with the pillowiest MacBook Pro battery I have ever seen just lying on the cafe table like it's an absolutely normal thing to do.

This was supposed to be a relaxing coffee break.

I keep looking between the battery and the jar of forks on the table

…the fact that

  1. There are hundreds of cameras in JUST the path of totality
  2. That all these cameras are PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE AND RELATIVELY SIMPLE TO FIND

is greatly distressing to me

@mirabel These are from a public directory of cameras that people have submitted them to, they were not found illicitly: https://worldcam.eu

Webcams (and directories) like this have been around literally since the dawn of the web. https://fogcam.org

Ran out of time to build the project I planned, but this frantically hacked together thing seems to have made a lot of people happy!

20 years to prepare for the next one. Should be enough.

I made something to watch the 2024 eclipse remotely!

This is every public webcam in the path of totality, with a live-updating view of the umbra.

The view from a webcam showing that it is 1:31 PM and dark.

@gammapeak I kept forgetting to ask: Do you have any stick insects left, or did you take my advice and destroy the eggs??

jonty,
@jonty@chaos.social avatar

@gammapeak Same - we miss them but also the weekly privet hunts became tiresome.

The parent colony lives on with my mother, if you ever get tempted to start again...

    @chewie The paper is clearly nonsense being used to make a point about the law in Japan, I've not checked the maths but I suspect the modelling is very simplistic

    🚨 Underpants gnome startup alarm 🚨

    The process from here involves setting up a business entity in Germany, so we can import the t-shirts, store them in a warehouse, connect inventory logistics and ship them all over the world. This includes building a website and connecting it to a back-end database. So, we basically ended up owning a merch production operation end-to-end, just so that we could ensure premium quality of these t-shirts!
