This is the hardest message I have ever written.

Does anyone in have a lead on a company that would be willing to sponsor a web development technical lead?

I am open to most Euro, Japan, and Oceania.

My German is bad. My Japanese is a bit better. I would love to get better.

It seems like things are going to be no longer safe for my family.

Help me.

Please boost. 🙇

In 1985, the French government bombed the Rainbow Warrior.
It wasn’t just trying to sink a ship - it was attempting to sink a movement, to attack activism, and to silence the voice of hope.
They failed. They blew wind in our sails.
Greenpeace and the movement refused to back down and continued to campaign against nuclear testing.
And in 1996, we won. #Greenpeace #RW40
Seems like a good time to share this free knitting pattern for the This Is Fine Sweater by Yu Jie 玉杰 inspired by the meme by KC Green (and with Green's permission). Amazing sweater on my knitting bucket list!

My publisher promoted my book the other day and it was so lovely seeing the cover there on the screen, I thought, 'I should share it more often.'

So here I am, sharing it.

Alt-Ctrl was published in September 2019 and since then, so much has happened and changed in the world, but thing I wanted most to say with this story is that in times of desperation, when corporations are all-powerful and you think you can't do without them because they control so much of your life, the answer might lie in being brave, and relying on each other. Seems timely, no?

I don't know if I did that successfully, and when it came out, I was so embarrassed to promote this little book because what if people hate it and think it's stupid and think I'M stupid but six years later, such a lot has changed, and I don't think it's stupid... and even if other people do, I'm kind of OK with that.

Anyway if you wanted to buy it, you still can:

Israel outlines plans to pack Gaza's population into a closed border zone

Israeli media reports that the country’s defense minister has outlined plans to pack hundreds of thousands of Palestinians into a closed zone of the Gaza Strip along the border with Egypt. It appears to be the latest version of plans by the Israeli government to maintain lasting control over the territory and relocate much of its population of some 2 million. Critics say that would amount to forcible displacement in violation of international law because Israel’s offensive and blockade have made Gaza largely uninhabitable. Israeli officials say the aim is to separate the civilian population from Hamas, which still controls parts of Gaza and holds dozens of hostages abducted in the Oct. 7 attack that triggered the war 21 months ago.

I'm being deliberately vague about this for professional reasons, but we have a piece of equipment in the lab controlled by proprietary software that we wanted to do something non standard with. We asked the company to add some parameters to the software for the new function, they sent a software update, all worked great. However we have just discovered an existing function of the updated software that shouldn't have been changed now fails in a very weird and highly specific way that has

«MittagsschlÀfchen zwischen den Welten»

Herr Kreidl legte sich zum Mittagsschlaf hin – nicht ins Bett, sondern in eine Zwischenzeit. „Ich schlafe nicht“, stellte er fest, „ich besuche die LĂŒcke zwischen Jetzt und Gleich.“

Die Sonne hielt den Atem an, die Uhr vergaß zu ticken, und der Rauhhaardackel legte sich wie ein Komma neben ihn.
