An abandoned squirrel nest in our bougainvillea. I opened up the near end to photo. It was waterlogged and no signs of occupation.
Its very cozy! You can just see daylight from the intentional opening which would be hidden in the thorns.

This story in The Register seems to fill in s lot about the old saw of how IBM selected DOS over CP/M-86. I contradicts some of what a lot of people (like to) believe. Probably needs further research.

I'm appalled at the aggressive political cluelessness amongst so many FOSS folk. No one that smart can be that level of naive. Its not accidental.
Its clear that FOSS repositories are a very large part of our technological oppression and surveillance culture, powering ICE's racist predations […]

YouTube has applied a dialog box "inappropriate content" on a frightwig song, "redistribution of wealth". Zero inappropriate content: except implicit criticism of trump (unnamed), with photos and video of horrible class disparity.
Fuck YouTube.

I'm not feeling very able to be rational today. The shooting yesterday is horrific as we all know. The federal response is almost worse -- in that if this ICE shit is not an anomaly, and shut down quick, which seems unlikely, this will become a very ugly year. And one we may not recover from […]

Ah, Amar Bose. Didn't realize he died in 2013. Bummer.
I worked for Bose when they were still at 100 Mountain Road, and moved into the new building there. I helped wire it for phone and network. I ended up working as a grunt technician in engineering.

I just spent about three solid days writing four tiny, simple subroutines... I was starting to doubt my sanity and skills. Today, based on two previous design iterations, I sat down and rewrote it again, from scratch, and it practically worked first time. (One really stupid but serious bug) and […]
