New welding / plasma cutting trolley who dis?

@skinnylatte One of the things I loved about Singapore was how on one evening you could pay bigbucks for nice food, and enjoy it, but then on the next evening you could pay verysmallbucks for nice food in a much less salubrious (but still clean and totally safe) setting AND STILL massively enjoy it.

@skinnylatte I know it's touristy but I really enjoyed the ABC Brickworks hawker centre last time I was there.

Of course this would be fucking hilarious.

If you're ever wondering about the future perception and impacts of technology and how they relate to public perception now, think about the fact that in 1994, in an "Invention of the Year" competition, the public voted The Internet in at position #2.

What was #1?

The widget in a can of Guinness.

The P in Bloor stands for “professional”.

Never let anyone try to talk you out of a quick half hour DIY project. Those three hours will be the best six days of your life.

If SQL is pronounced "sequel" then surely DNS is pronounced "Dennis"?

What the, and I cannot overstate this, fuck?

Q: Which mythical creature pioneered mouse-based page layout?

A: Dragon Drop.

Dear Diary,

Really enjoying my first day here at CloudFlare. Think it’s going great.

A bit more desk DIY; mains distribution on the underside of the desktop meaning raising and lowering does not cause cables to snag.

No.

First email (I think) today from a customer asking if there is a way we can turn off content filtering and that nobody in their house is under 18, so why are they impacted.

Had to reply that it isn't us doing the filtering.

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE ADULTS? JUST FOR ONCE?

@libreleah i am showing my ignorance by saying i have no idea what the other reference in that is lol ...

@libreleah Nice King of the Hill reference, I think.

Paid peering sounds like an utter shitshow, dreamed up by people whose business models didn't imagine their broadband customers would "use the internet" and therefore "generate traffic". Now they are attempting to describe "traffic" as "abusive" which is fucking bullshit. They sold internet connections. That implied usage. Always. Proper transit and peering (99% of the time( should have been factored in at the outset. It's a cost of doing business, or ought to be.

Ham radio progress. My garden now has an ATU cabinet in it.

A repurposed, and spray painted gas meter cabinet, attached to a couple of fence posts, in fencing spikes in the ground.

Little bit of marine ply inside, and a SGC-230 and a RF choke (I’m going to try to run it balanced).
