  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.

  9. 🚦Oh, because what we really needed was a 10,000-word #thesis on why charging you more to sit in #traffic will magically turn ambulances into teleporting life-savers. 🏎️💨 As if #emergency responders weren't already doing their best to navigate the #urban #chaos, now they can just pay to win! 🙄

  21. 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.

  33. #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.
