Celebrated 40 years of programming on Xmas Day 2022. Got a ZX Spectrum back in 82 and haven’t seen much daylight since.

I find making up Cat6e patch cables a meditative.

I'm in no way an AI hater. It has some very good use cases. But in the commercial world, if you are promoting a product or service, the phrase "AI-powered" translates to "didn't read the room". The majority probably don't see that as a plus? (I could be wrong!)

Boost if you will to get coverage. The results will be interesting if enough people vote.

Each day brings chances to ease pain, share a laugh, love someone, and be loved.

One day, those chances stop coming. What remains are the differences we made, the people whose lives are better because of what we did and said, and the love we shared.

Don't bet on "someday." Carpe diem.

Since I've moved my servers out of my office and into a rack elsewhere, my office is now cold and I need a heater.

I’m trying to find a hard copy of “Commodore 64 Whole Memory Guide” by Tim Arnot. I know… hard to find but if anyone has any leads, please pass them along 🙏🏻

Dreamt that I met Brian Aldridge from #TheArchers and he took me for a drink. Not at The Bull though, just the one we were walking past at the time in a city centre somewhere.

WTF do they need the piano for?

Dear linux people,

Solidarity.

Also you won't see AGENTS.md files in #OpenBSD.
You might be surprised at how nice it all works too.
