People who programmed in the 1960s and 70s in languages like Cobol, Fortran, and PL/I, and weren’t satisfied to write spaghetti code…

I’m impressed, and deeply appreciate where you drove our industry.

I might have accidentally introduced my kids to WiFi pen-testing with Pwnagotchi.

They're hooked on watching that little thing eat handshakes.

I mean... I knew they'd like the cuteness aspect, but I had no idea how much they'd like roaming around the neighborhood looking at people's SSIDs.

I have an urge to buy an oscilloscope.

I’ve wanted one since high school computer engineering. I’ve never had access to one, but would have actual use for it - on rare occasions.

Can’t decide if I should:

1. Suppress this wasteful urge to buy something I can do without.
2. Buy a cheap one just to try it out. Risk not being good enough when I really need it.
3. Buy a good one and be satisfied for life.

Trying out some PETG, probably this weekend. I’ve had issues with some parts on my rover, in PLA.

Some components require screws to be installed at rather high torque, and it tends to pull threaded inserts out of the parts.

I’m slightly concerned that the higher print temps and extremely hygroscopic nature of the material might not be worth the strength gains. It could be better to redesign the parts to reduce strain.

I have quite a few micro SD cards sitting around because of all the Raspberry Pi’s in the house.

I was having trouble telling them apart, so I used some paint markers I already had lying around to colour code them.

Paint adheres much more permanently than marker, and it doesn’t take much just to tell them apart.

Got this awesome t-shirt from @[email protected] at #DevOpsDaysTO.

We had a chance to chat over lunch and I really love the idea of what he’s working on at firehydrant.io - I was thinking this is something I’d love to have for our team after last year’s talks on incident response, and they’ve gone and built it.

I started reading “Making Work Visible: Exposing Time Theft to Optimize Work & Flow” by Dominica DeGrandis yesterday.

The production quality of this book is excellent. One of those things I really appreciate in a book. 👍
