‘One’

Stone cold classic.

Reminds me of the first time I worked in a newsroom in the early 2000s. When the repeated slamming wasn’t enough, the whole phone would go flying across the office. I, unfortunately, had the desk by the wall, in the prime firing line. My reflexes became boss in those first 3 months.

Shave 'em. I don’t want no cowlick near my balls

I have started to do this and I’m using Docker to host Kiwix. I’m currently using it to provide offline versions of Wikipedia, medical guides and tutorials for various programming languages. My plan is to put essential apps and information on an RPi and provide a broadcast hotspot where anyone can access the info.

I also live on top of a hill, so I’m saving up to put together a solar powered Meshtastic repeater that I can mount to my aerial pole.

Wireless Application Protocol. I can no longer say on my CV that I ‘worked on WAP in the early 2000s’.

The dread and despair is so real.

Gives Event Horizon vibes

I wish the media would stop portraying it as left vs right. In the UK, the traditionally left-leaning Labour party that is currently in power are also coming after disabled people. It’s not left-right politics, it’s the predatory billionaire class coming after everyone, taking the easiest targets first.

Reich calls out the Führer, there’s a headline that writes itself.

Exquisite Monty Python reference. Bravo!

If you watched this and enjoyed it, there is a Micro Men 10th Anniversary retrospective chat with Chris Curry, Steve Furber and Hermann Hauser from The Centre for Computing History.

Although the dramatisation is mildly apocryphal, it does capture really well the entrepreneurship and rivalry of microcomputer development in the UK in the 1980s. I love this short movie and have to go back and watch it again every couple of years.

I did not expect that seeing that interface would take me back in time as hard as it did. Oof! Memories.

Is that the Hank Cocaine who’s friends with Steve Buttstuff?

Is that not just in the vegan pornos though? Fuck cream, fuck cheese, fuck meat, etc.

As it should be. It’s only cum if it comes from the Balzac area in France.

Hello Boris! Immaculate lounging you’re doing there.

Yet more anti-consumer technology to go alongside the gates that won’t let you out until you scan your receipt, the ANPR in the car park, the hair-trigger scales on the bagging area, etc. All to crush that extra penny of profit from us.

I watched it when it first came out, I was quickly hooked. Seems a little prophetic in some respects.
