  1. It occurred to me that my Unix-iversary is somewhere around today. This year marks 35 years that I've been using Unix and its descendents and cousins and step-children. Small potatoes by the standards of anyone who was at Bell Labs in the '70s, but long enough for me.

    So I've been thinking about Unix, the Unix philosophy, how things have changed and evolved - some for the better, some not - and inevitably, init systems.

    I can't decide which flavour of #absurdity #systemd falls under - Monty Python? Or more Kafka?

    It's kinda-sorta both. But to me, using it feels more like walking into what you think is the Argument Clinic office to ask for an #init system, but you are actually in the Abuse room, and they give you systemd.

    Actual thing I heard just now in a company's list of "thought leadership" areas.

  8. Whatever became, or: Sir Swellimpedeedoo

    A ‘Snyder Nonce’ poem

    Whatever became of Sir Swellimpedeedoo?
    He fluffed snowy-white with a dignified coo,
    He considered the sky
    Much too clumsy to fly,
    Then walked from Allentown all the way to Crewe.

    He didn’t admit he was really a hen,
    Nor did he intend to return to his coop,
    This much is true!
    He pecked at his map till the road split apart,
    For the chicken was Sir Swellimpedeedoo.

    W3 poetry prompt

    For this week’s W3, Matt invites us to write a playful nonsense poem inspired by his artwork and centered on Sir Swellimpedeedoo, the white stuffed hen. Use the required two-stanza structure and fixed opening phrases provided in the prompt.

    Let’s write poetry together!

    When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

    –Ben Harper (b. 1969)

    Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

  9. I designed some little flyers for my ridiculously small upcoming exhibition, at a ridiculously small brasserie in a ridiculously small village in this ridiculously small country called Belgium :im_okay:

    It runs from this Sunday, August 2, through August 30, and is open only on Sundays from 1:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

    Je partagerai quelques photos plus tard.

  14. #PENELOPE_KEITH

    I was sorry to hear that Penelope Keith has died.

    Many people will remember her as Margo in The Good Life, but for me it was To the Manor Born.

    Audrey fforbes-Hamilton could have been unbearable in the wrong hands. Proud, snobbish, stubborn, ridiculous.

    But Penelope Keith made her human.

    She had that rare comic gift of being completely precise without becoming cold. Every look, every pause, every lifted eyebrow seemed to know exactly where it belonged.

    She was only sixteen years older than me, which feels close now.

    When I was young, eighty-six sounded like another country. Now it feels like someone a little further down the same road has quietly stepped out of sight.

    She made dignity funny.

    She made fussiness magnificent.

    A proper actress.

  17. So, earlier today I was in the car and had to stop at a traffic light. The vehicle in front of me was a Jeep with one of those covers for their spare tire. On it, center to the cover, was a cross with an American flag across it. And then I saw the text around it, it read "Stand for the flag, kneel for the cross."

    It's a flag covered cross - which do I do? Stand or kneel? Makes no sense.

    So, I couldn't stop laughing all the way home.

  21. it is #ridiculous there is not enough #cable to transport all the #sunshine golem.de/news/netzentgelte-zus

    and big #dax #companies like #eon and #rwe do not want to invest

    so they simply shut off #solar #systems when there is "too much" ? #sunshine instead of building big #batteries to store that #energy it is just one of the many #ridiculous #nonsensical #symptoms of #capitalism where #money and only #money seems to matter if this #planet was a #bank it would have been saved

    currently operating 2x solar systems 1. is 100% #feedin to #grid the 2.can not #selltogrid and it is obviously from the #statistics that after 11:00 o'clock this #offgrid #system simply throws away the #energy X-D #electricity #unused

  22. DR. DEMENTO
    25th Anniversary Collection (More Of The Greatest Novelty Records Of All Time)
    1995 U.S. 2xCD issue

    Everybody needs a few chortles now and then.

    Novelty songs are the fucking best.
    Even the bad ones.
    Their main goal IS to be ridiculous and to make people laugh and smile.

    Dr. Demento’s sole purpose in life was to shine a light on these kinds of tunes and serve them up to people, both GOOD AND BAD.
    He introduced the world to Weird Al Yankovic, Barnes and Barnes, and so much more.

    Both artists are here, as well as a bevy of other insanely goofy and questionable tunes.

    You can’t throw something like this on and not laugh or feel good in some way.

    Today is definitely a day for it.

  25. "CEO just said 'We’ve been a little bit too romantic about the idea that we should have employees and give people long-term job security'"

    Yes, this is related to gaming, but I'm pretty sure that applies to pretty much every western industry right about now.
