This was taken quite a while before sunrise today here in Glastonbury. Lovely lilac tones in the sky.

Today, my Pi Pico based adapter to connect IBM 3270 coax terminals to modern computers sent its first screen to my 3278. #retrocomputing #IBM #rp2040 #rpi #pico

me: great, when can you move out?

Cloudy in Brisbane last night so I took my shot of the Super Blue Moon tonight.

Back in the 90s, when I was 11, I had a conversation on Usenet with this dude called Todd Howard, who said he wanted to make a space RPG. I am 41. Today, it arrived.

FYI, when a website erases your text that you just spent an hour writing, you can use this little trick to recover it 99% of the time:

1. find the firefox pid

$ pgrep -l firefox

2. attach gdb to firefox and dump its core

$ sudo gdb <pid>
gcore firefox.dump
<this takes awhile>
quit
<firefox dies>

3. find your lost text in the coredump

$ strings firefox.dump | grep "a unique word/sentence from ur text"

i just did this today to recover a long post i wrote, and figured i'd show others!!

Somebody today dragged an old oscilloscope into our @cccac space. Of course we did the only logical thing first :D

I can't wait what others will do with it ^^

I was the victim of an extremely clever card fraud/social engineering hack.

Well, partly a victim since I managed to stop it.

I was called by my bank, as they wanted to “verify some suspect transactions on my account”.

Then things got weird…

So finally I say, look, I need to call my bank directly. This all seems a bit odd.

And then, naturally (in retrospect), the guy hangs up.

I call my bank. They verify that it wasn’t them.

New office shenaniganery is ensuing. I am wholly responsible for this lot. One last week and two today. #OfficeShenanigans #NotDucks
