Right about now I’m really loving the school of request management that repeatedly asks “are you sure” to any exhortations that, yes, this thing is absolutely needed. Some folks seem to be able to carry this off for days at a time.

Lamentation
Editors do make a difference. The trade-off for getting all of our news instantly delivered to us by a peer-to-peer network is that we have to be our own editors.
Not everyone is aware of this or willing to take on that responsibility. I think we’re where we’re at as a society because of that.
Thanks
API mismatch. NVIDIA kernel has version 319.32 but the NVIDIA driver component has version 304.88.
I thought we were beyond this kind of post-update crap, Linux distros.
Hand In Glove
Q: What is more twee and yet haunting than listening to The Smiths?
A: Listening to Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of The Smiths [1].
How can this be this awesome? You can bet The Millionaire [2] would have been all over this.

Black on the outside
Thinking today’s playlist is going to be chock-o-block with Siouxsie and Morrisey with a dash of Belle and Sebastian really spice things up.
Uncomfortable
Said the young man running past our table, “I hate skinny jeans.”
Saturday
It’s Jim, hard at work on a Saturday morning. Like always.

I cannot remove any of this from the very front of my brain right now and it is quite possibly killing me.
Bitchin’
You know what really rocks on Windows? Git’s bash shell [1] wrapped with Console2 [2].
Git [3]: Come for the awesome revision control, stay for the bonus command shell.
I know I’ve nattered on about Console2 before [4] but that was just window dressing. Having an honest-to-goodness bash shell on a windows platform is real nice.

Kegged
Five gallons of Counciltucky Pale Ale into the keg. Attenuation wasn’t as good as I would have liked with a 1.069 OG only getting down to 1.015. That’s what I get for using an ESB yeast for an IPA. I do like the higher floculation and I think the extra maltiness will help take the edge off the bitterness however.
40 IBUs and 7.1% ABV. Tasted the gravity sample and daddy is pleased.
