  1. Tidbit from a local ham: they went to Big Bear in a bus over the weekend for a ski trip with the local ski club, but the bus got stuck in a parking lot because the diesel fuel froze (apparently you have to have the right formulation to avoid freezing). And he never managed to get to the slopes. And one of the folks he went on the trip with fell over and died while they were checking into the condos (!). #hamradio #chatter

  2. A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

    Speech is too often not, as the Frenchman defined it, the art of concealing Thought; but of quite stifling and suspending Thought, so that there is none to conceal.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Sartor Resartus, Book 3, ch. 3 (1834)

  4. A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

    As great minds can express much in a few words, so small minds have the contrary talent of talking a great deal without saying anything at all.
     
    [Comme c’est le caractère des grands esprits de faire entendre en peu de paroles beaucoup de choses, les petits esprits, au contraire, ont le don de beaucoup parler, et de ne rien dire.]

    François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
    Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶142 (1665-1678) [tr. FitzGibbon (1957)]

  6. A quotation from Holmes, Oliver Wendell, Sr.:

    «
    A sick man that gets talking about himself, a woman that gets talking about her baby, and an author that begins reading out of his own book, never know when to stop.

  7. Implementation progress: got the crawler written & integrated with the indexes + thumbnailer (+`.gitignore` support) but not tested. The vector search persistence system is truly shocking..... I think I need to back it in an `njodb` instance.

    Next up:

    - testing the crawler
    - integrating with the rest of the app
    - HTTP API
    - starting working on the web interface

    (see also <npmjs.com/package/njodb>)
