oooh, another Kickstarter lesson learned. Pledges have slowed--except they haven't, not exactly.

The stretch goal ebook freebies are also available as add-on items. As stretch goals are met, people are going into their pledges and removing add-on copies.

Solidly predictable, if I was smart.

So I guess I have to spend time this week trying to work out how I can turn off all the ai shit on the windows machines at work via policy. And also do the same for all the macs.

At least we got slack to acknowledge our opt out.

Holycrap. Really intense squall right on top of the building. Rain against the window is incredibly loud. And the wind is making everything shake.

Finally got around to planting the raspberry and strawberry plants I bought last weekend. Had to weed the planter and top it up with some fresh compost. Timed it great, finished about 15 mins before the rain arrived.

Have run my own mail server for nearly 20 years. But haven't changed much about it's config for about 19 of those. Have just backed @mwl's book "Run your own mail server" on kickstarter. Time to learn how to do this properly...
