It is with the deepest of chagrin that I find myself enjoying an article in the New Yorker. Perhaps it is time for excessive drinking and melancholic reflection after all.

Additionally, Primarily, and Most Importantly: They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them. Lest We Forget. #ANZAC #ANZACday

Today's amusing peccadillo: When pasting into @hetzner.bsky.social's web-based console, the Shift Status of characters is being removed. eg `ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL` becomes `ALL=9ALL0 NOPASSWD;ALL` For reasons unknown to even myself, I find this _frightfully_ funny. Just have a care, #developers!

An entertaining little factling: If, say, an Australian political party were to send you mail then attempt to trick you into providing contact details when you try to unsubscribe, causing you to have to mark their emails as "Spam", it encourages _all_ their mail to be marked thusly.

I had not imagined that it was possible for me to dislike Zelda's voice acting *more*, but that was before #nintendo 's otherwise charming #Alarmo saw fit to see I awoke to it Mayhap Ganondorf had the right idea.

I wonder, @qbhelp.bsky.social , if your colleagues over in Quickbooks Consumer are quite well, because this response is UTTERLY REDICULOUS. "20 Jun 2024" is not an INVALID format, it is, for QuickBooks, an UNSUPPORTED format, and that in itself beggars belief.

I had not thought that In Quickbooks could vex me more, until I discovered that: A: Their CSV importer does not understand space-separated dates, or months as abbreviations B: Their support asked me to verify my identity, not at the start of the call, but after finding I wanted CSV help

This taught me that sometimes a flaw in a technology is going to persist until that technology dies altogether so you might be able to just wait it out

By the way; I seem to have a number of splended Authors following me. Welcome! I DO regret to inform you that many of the missives I pen will primarily concern the Computing Sciences, but I hope you will enjoy my amateur dispatches nonetheless.

Reginald, I understand the aroma of celulose inveigles a Proustian paroxym of delight but do you have ANY idea how many digital books I have? I have SO MANY DIGITAL BOOKS, Reginald. I would not be able to fit in the HOUSE with all the books, Reginald. HOW AM I TO FIT IN MY HOUSE REGINALD?!

Some free advice to those of you responsible for marketing a #PaaS: It is a mistake to rely on criticism of named competitors. By all means, have a competitive analysis, point out common problems in the _category_, and have people draw favourable comparisons to your brand... But don't trash talk.

Well, I can reveal to you, gentle reader, that AI Interviews are a new and exceptionally wearying way to completely disrespect the interviewee's time. I don't even think the results would be illuminating for the HR manager; The Autolocutive Engine was inflexible and overly general. Do not advise.
