Kylki haittasi nukkumista. Näin unia perhosista. Kävin Prismassa. Silppusin salaatin. Leikkasin parran ja saunoin. Paistoin tomaattimurskaa.

I play a song by The Jesus and Mary Chain; I talk a little about seeing The Jesus and Mary Chain in concert; the big dog is getting treated for heartworms; I’m staying in the developer relations slack for now; I am so glad I don’t have to take jobs with AI firms seriously; I never used my real job title; Jason Scott eulogizes Cheshire Catalyst; things go from useful to junk to historically interesting; I am enjoying throwing decaying photo albums away; I am going to collage bullshit photographs; Jackie Kashian lost her patience with button pushers; I am no longer rounding up transactions for charity; I watched True Detective Seasons 3 and 4.

After 32 years, one of the ’Net’s oldest #software archives is shutting down
Hobbes #OS2 Archive: "As of April 15th, 2024, this site will no longer exist."
Archivists such as #JasonScott of #InternetArchive have stepped up to say that files hosted on Hobbes are safe and already mirrored elsewhere. "Nobody should worry about Hobbes, I've got Hobbes handled," wrote Scott on Mastodon. OS/2 World.com also published a statement about making a mirror. https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/10/hobbes_os2_archive_shut_down/

So Jason Scott dropped this earlier today:
136,000 books from the 18th Century.
ONE HUNDRED THIRTY SIX THOUSAND OF THEM.
That would be a point of pride in any library. Making it readable from the Internet, browsable, and downloadable? A pipe dream.
Anyway, here they are.

And I’ve gone to have a look at them; me being me, the first thing I did was to punch the word cypher into the “text content” search engine, and got 7,296 results with apparently a substantial chunk (majority?) relating to Mary, Queen of Scots.
I shall enjoy picking through this.
