  Hey have you set up, checked and tested your backups? Automated them? Made sure they’re running? Checked the whole cascade works if you have that? Any backup is infinitely better than none.

  it seems kinda creepy that I have 100% of my father’s sex chromosome DNA. Like dude I’m your first kid and I got ALL of it?! But only 75% of my mother’s. But that’s 234M base pairs from mum, and only 213Mb from dad. So not too dissimilar. I’m like a man and a woman had a baby or something.

  Saw some U(n)FOs — nice to see flying saucers taking safety seriously. High-vis, Australian made, and materials adhere to Australian safety regulations AS 2070 and AS/NZS 4020!

  The best point transitioning is at around eighteen months when either pyrokinesis or telekinesis kicks in. And nobody mentions it! It just becomes so background normal it’s like “haha yeah I reheat my coffee all the time I forgot what it was like before that” (and some folk get both!)

  The trouble with brands re-using names between them and separated by time is that some git comes along and connects the two and now it's there in your head forever.

  1960s: the computer when programmed correctly can perform trillions of operations without a single mistake: Pentium fdiv bug era: in some rare cases excel may let a bug in the CPU slip past. LLM era: we rolled 6x10E9 dice and days have 37 hours, finger count is random, your files were deleted lol.

  On drive to work today co worker is playing Jeff Wayne’s abysmal war of the worlds album. It is taking a whole lot of energy not to express the disappointment I feel for his taste. Three minutes until the drive is over…

  An old one laying around from August 2004. The iBook was still being sold when I pixelled that one up.

  “Stop making your pain your whole personality” My lovely it’s shaped every experience I’ve had, stopped me from doing others I’d have chosen, forced me to take paths and experiences I’d have rather not, and sculpted the shape of the few precious free parts left. There’s not much else. The precise geometry of that is still me, of course. A little grace, thanks.

  An angel appeared squinting, moppy bedhead over one eye, gripping a double affogato (which is not doing enough) while yawning through too-little sleep, and wearing untied trainers and an oversized hoodie emblazoned with pink bubble writing that said “BE NOT AFRAID!!! :D”
