Office falls short of its advertised 365. Bitcoin loses all last year's gains. Fortinet SSO proves to be a single point of failure. Patch Tuesday borks more than it patches. Slop writes everything around here, but AI ROI is still "real soon now"...

If it weren't for HOPE becoming a 501(c)(3), 2026 would be indistinguishable from 2025.

2025 ended with the restoration of a missing link in the UNIX family tree byresurrecting data off of a 54-year-old tape kept in less than ideal climate controled archival storage conditions.

Porting begins tomorrow, 5PM. Bring your own compiler.

Some will remember 2025 as the year a trillion dollars were squandered chasing negligible returns on investments in a slop bubble and ⅔ of the Cloud vaporizing to the point that we utterly failed to Internet.

We'll remember St. John excommunicating #Hope (and not because of the googly eyes incident!)

Join us at 5PM.

What's more upsetting: SWIFT integrating the blockchain into mainstream payment systems, Microsoft undermining your IT department's policies on Copilot, or that @XioNYC still hasn't fixed HTTPS on the 2600.nyc site?

The polls open tomorrow at 5PM - no proxies (This isn't AFRINIC!)

Data Drifted out of SalesForce, the Matrix(.org) is rebuilding its RAID, Microsoft backdated the .gitignore of 6502 BASIC by 48 years, and Altman admits AI is a bubble - and all that before Patch Tuesday!

Commiseration? Yes, please.

ConEd should stop blaming air conditioner usage and start blaming the click farms, the crypto miners, and the AI asshats for every hot-day brownout from now on.

So... Microsoft canned Wordpad, yet stuffed Bing, AI, and formatting into Notepad, and for an encore simultaneously reinvented "Edit" - which, like Visual Studio Code, can't do what EDIT.COM could: print.

Is it time we stop "improving" things worse yet?
