Semi-retired Gen-X tech nerd. I used to operate core networks and systems for various NZ companies whose names would make you go "Oh, right, I remember them." I'm currently studying part time for a very non-technical tertiary degree and otherwise consulting and contracting on boring old tech stuff. If you are a nazi or a TERF, please fuck off.

@NanoRaptor Yes indeed, that’s the thing I was clearly riffing on.

The sudden realisation that in my head the 1990s will be “about ten years ago” for the rest of my life.

If I had more energy I'd be tempted to write a snarky, satirical, 21st century Jetson's style short story set in a future where all the dot-com 1.0-3.0 hype turned out to be true and faithful predictions of our lives in 2025. Just so I could explore the unanticipated drawbacks ("oops, the Amazon drone delivering your neighbour's new dishwasher just fell through your roof; meanwhile trades.com only shows you roofers who live in Boston, England, not Boston, MA").

@cstross Supply chain leaks indicate that the Apple Newton 15 is getting a new, revised stylus.

We know how this goes. You're playing a video game, and these things show up and they're all like "Would Sir care for a sandwich?" and "Very good, Sir" and then some shit goes down and that yellow ring around the face turns red, and you gotta pick up the conveniently located crowbar or shotgun FAST.

Please do read Kate Wagner’s piece on Formula 1. It's been pulled down from it's original site (cowards!) but is available on the wayback machine. Like all of her writing, it's excellent.

I still want to design a keyboard with dual numpads. But bigger keyboards are always harder to design, and that's possibly so big that I can't easily make it single-PCB and definitely can't 3D print a case

@foone I like my numpad, and I always buy full size keyboards with them, and yeah, sometimes when some infant is saying “why the huge keyboard!?” shit to me, I also want to make a keyboard with dual numpads. And a fucking carry strap, keytar style.

Our a/c unit started dripping slightly from the ceiling trap door used to service it, and we were like “Oh no, turn it off and we will call a service company on Monday!” But after a short while of no a/c in this weather, we have turned it back on and I think the consensus is that if it drips, it drips and if that stains the ceiling … well … paint exists and can be readily purchased.

You say your apes have been stolen, and yet the very blockchain you claim is an immutable source of truth shows that you do not actually own the apes in question? Curious.

"Would you recommend the new Microsoft Teams to a friend or colleague, if asked?"

My guys. No one is going around asking their friends or colleagues if they would recommend using the new Microsoft Teams. That is not a conversation that normal people have.

Go outside. Touch some grass. Think about the choices you've made in life that took you this moment.

Absolutely bizarre when people you know and thought were good sorts suddenly front up with weird TERF shit. I used to argue, but now I just unfriend and block on the various socials. People like that are usually never swayed by arguments or logic, it always just boils down to Eww Icky Trans Folks with them, and you can't debate that. Best to just exit the relationship, I got no time for them.

Corvette passenger seat in astonishingly poor condition[1] removed. Now to measure it, and see sort of cheap modern light thin ubiquitous car seats I can replace it with. 90s Mazda MX-5 seats, I suspect it may be you.

Lost Harley the cat this morning.

We've had him spread out on a towel downstairs the past couple of hours, took turns telling stories about him, the usual wake stuff, you know.

Kid's been watching over him while I do the work outside. Mad respect to sextons, it's hard bloody work.

Had to come in and do the grim job of measuring him, now having a quick cup of tea before I go back out and widen his grave a bit. Well, a lot really.

@ifixcoinops I’m sorry to hear this, it’s a heartbreak every time you lose a pet.
