Hab gehört, dass die örtliche Rätselraterunde (RRR) ihren besten Knoblern einen Friedensknobelpreis verleiht.

I wrote a program to lipsync the shipping forecast in a terminal window, and I have no regrets.

For whoever out there needs to report "five things I got done this week," I offer a tech-bro-speak writeup of the activities of a small child:

  • Resolved an apparent paradox in knot theory, resulting in substantially improved system security (tied my shoes).

  • Isolated the root cause of a blocking problem and removed the barrier, retaining relevant evidence for post-mortem analysis (sneezed and wiped snot on my sleeve).

  • Stress-tested a rapid response system, demonstrating successful mobilization of key individuals with extremely low latency (screamed).

  • Discovered an important resource unavailability and implemented an alternative last-mile delivery protocol in order to meet a time-critical need (peed myself).

  • Completed scheduled downtime in response to substantially degraded system performance and restored operating efficiency to full (took a nap).

  • The sun is setting. In the distance you can see a cloud of smoke. The area outside of town is dangerous during this time of year. The smoke cloud reveals a rider as its source. A bit later the rider arrives on his exhausted horse. It collapses, the rider falls off and crawls towards you. He looks very thirsty. He must've taken a great risk to come to you. He wheezes: "Here, an urgent message from the government..." and hands you a little note. "You have a new message in your inbox."

    Rules of the game:
    - Grab the nearest book.
    - Turn to page 42
    - Find the 2nd sentence
    - Post the sentence in a toot with the hashtag & write the rules as a comment to it
    - Don't look for your favourite, coolest or wittiest book. Go for the closest.

    In real life, most of us take a 'billboard going by at 60 miles an hour' approach when there's this much information presented to us.
