I occasionally revisit this wonderful shell scripting bible. On a whim, I checked the home page and it says something along the lines of “having taken up farming”.

Sardonic, maybe. I thought I had 12 (or 13) followers on GitHub but apparently it’s 10. Two (or three) must have betrayed me. Seriously though; I’m considering a bit of CSS to hide the distracting metrics.

I was helping someone out recently. This social protocol table is informative and perhaps there are more in the making.

Thinking back now, the design here is somewhat tongue in cheek. Hopefully it inspires not, anyone who stumbles thereupon.

There’s a smart aleck quip I can write here about economics but I don’t remember what it was.

I read a nice rant article yesterday. The video sources were also fun. Perhaps the greatest demonstration of marketing genius (maybe it’s serendipitous), is setting up the classic us versus them (catnip), but on generalizations that are stealthily ambiguous (intelligence, consciousness, reasoning, and thinking).

It’s somewhat out of context, but Dijkstra (a computer scientist) practiced a very exceptional and very brief kind of philosophizing.

I just heard about the Microsoft Recall program. What a strange name? I’m used to hearing “recall” in relation to product defects as in “A company issues recall program on product B”.

Someone asked if they were recalling PCs (the title speed–reads that way). I’m in a cave on Windows news.

I take it that Zeitgeist was a bit too early? The sadly unsurprising (or surprising) part is that by consensus, a recall program is something that most would probably consent to.
