@amoroso Phil was great! I got to meet him a few times and he invited the Palm dev relations team over to the HP corporate campus and gave us a tour of their archives. Saw him again at the World's Maker Fair in NY back around 2011.

Trying to find my people on here. Please share and follow me if you:

-Believe the lava from lava lamps must be returned to volcanoes, where it rightfully belongs.

-Argue that marathon runners should shave their eyebrows to be a little faster.

-Will eat the rich on principle, but dread the taste.

@courtney Sorry I missed this, but I'm glad we got to chat at Teardown, and I really appreciated the perspective on Austin's commissions. I hope you had a good time at the event.
@lmorchard wasn't that kinda the ending of "Shaun of the Dead"?
Finally soldered and glued up @tomnardi 's Bus Pirate SAO this afternoon. LEDs are pretty, haven't tried the GPIO expander part yet. Thanks for handing me the kit at Supercon.

This is an experiment. Please boost.

Here's the idea: This post is going first to my followers, then, if they boost it, to other people. This domain has been registered for only this experiment. I should see in my web server's logs when mastodon instances start crawling the site for info. Then maybe also some curious humans.

I just want to play with my monitoring a bit :)

Let me share with you a narrative of a software bug I just fixed in an all-night session (while still fresh in my mind).

You can see the problem in this video demo, starting at 1:26.

A deep dive will take several messages, so buckle up...

@evan ooh, that's a good one to know.

Your irregular reminder that #Linux signal numbers are different on different architectures. So signal 10 is SIGUSR1 on ARM/x64 and SIGBUS on MIPS and you get mighty confused interpreting a core file when you pick the wrong one.

See https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/signal.7.html for a handy table.

It was great to meet @mitten in the food line at #SuperCon on Saturday. Her hedgehog SAO was quite adorable in person, and she was so nice!
