hey it's that time again.

do you have data? that you like? is it backed up? do you have automatic backups you've checked are actually happening?

in multiple locations?

have you done a test restore to make sure the backups work?

*even an extra copy on a flash drive is better than no backups*

It's a little known fact that there's a law in Maine that every Stephen King movie must have a 1958 Plymouth Fury jammed in it hamfistedly and prominently at around the 10 minute mark.

more keyboards should have obtuse parts. things that aren't needed. switches that will never be touched.

num lock. static lock. try. try not. F15. unpipe and unpipe 2.

I think before we try a Dyson sphere around a star we should start with something small and simple like a magnetar. We can harness some of that magnetic rotor and the Dyson stator can just give us simple free energy

Imagine a computer like a PDP-11 but with more than 3 billion SP4T switches. The switches are various combinations of 'magic' and 'more magic'

the authors of the code are dead, there are no comments except for old code, and sometimes the comments run anyway

and it's wet

this is biology.

Just cos it came up elsewhere - if you want to use my art for other stuff, you don’t have to ask - just go futz with it, build on it, tear it down. Have fun.

Not speaking for any other artist - just me. Be free little pixels and words and shit.

I came across a functioning coder today asking if a kilogram was 1000 or 1024 grams.

Yes they did ask, yes they verified, yes they accepted 1000 grams.

I swear ten thousand years in the future some fucker will 'oops, black hole!' 'cos they began in comp sci and learned kilo = 1024 first and NOBODY WILL CATCH IT. Humanity will be WIPED OUT because YOU LOT KEPT THIS SHIT UP.
