2/2. Holding the handrail above with my right (phone in left playing mindless game) & as I see her getting up, I swap so hold with my left to give her room to get past.
Her near empty coffee cup catches my hand as it drops but it spins & sprays a guy opposite mostly on his legs with drips.
I apologise profusely to him as she bolts. Im red faced for rest of journey.
Warterloo: get on train, sit down & its opposite the same guy!
I again apologise profusely. He is totally magnanimous.
#WeirdestDay today.
Had a few users trying out their new devices & both had issues with connecting to wifi & the 802.1x certificate.
Looked through all the cert request details on the config profile & then they siddenly can connect. Didnt even change anything.
Then had the #WeirdestThing happen on the #tube home:
Moved to the middle of the carriage as going from Warren St to Waterloo. At Charing Cross, tube has pulled in & doors were open, suddenly woman behind me gets up to get off. 1/2
Dont seem to be having much luck lately with stuff:
Ordered some soft synths & theyre not showing up in my account (or are but I cant install)
Upgraded the OS on my webserver but it killed the #VirtualMin software so no sites are now showing!
Might mean a wipe & rebuild!
TBH, the sites I had were neglected (one for vinyl mixes/playlists, one for keeping tabs on coding and one for my mediocre music!)
Just tried to move my account to mas.to instance but was getting a lot of errors and nothing seemed ot be migrating so I've cancelled it.
Theyve recently upgraded to v4 so might need some time to bed in
I see a lot of people talking about how Mastodon "Feels like the Internet I remember from 20 years ago."
That's no accident. That's Federation. That's UseNet, IRC, Email, Message Boards, etc. What do they all have in common?
Federation: Users congregating around watering holes of common interest, but still being a part of a larger whole.
THIS IS HOW THE INTERNET WAS DESIGNED TO BE. And I am HERE for it.
San Francisco: “This week, the city will put into effect its new camera ordinance, which is aimed at helping police investigate crimes. The legislation, crafted by the city’s mayor, London Breed, gives police the right to request access to the live footage of privately owned internet cameras.”

I would prefer if my timeline wasnt flooded with the latest ramblings from a certain billionaire shitgibbon unless of course, I *choose* to click 'view'
