I still love getting the "you're a small company, we can't rely on you" which I usually counter with "I have a staff of four, I'm registered with the CRTC, I've been in business for 21+ years... and you just got a bunch of VC/loan/grant money last week. Who's the bigger risk right now?"

@Chigaze@cosocial.ca seems to be regional to my Sent folder; and still the survey has been running 7-8% in agreement with me, so either we confidently can't spell, or there's a bit of language evolution. Either way, I did not expect the response this would get... plus the pun I dropped last night, I've had to kill my Ivory notifications...!

Replying to @ZenHeathen@beige.party
@ZenHeathen@beige.party this is where we get into prescriptivism vs descriptivism; there's plenty of evidence (and debate thereof) of both spellings. Language evolves, and what makes the compounding of it ... incorrect? It's easy to be an armchair lexicographer, but linguistics is much heavier. I am neither.

"Eachother" or "Each Other"?

According to sloppy Internet results, Canada is unique in making it a compound word - except in all the texts that say it's absolutely only ever 2 words.

What's a simple PHP-based blog CMS with WYSIWYG interface? For shared webhosting.

Wordpress is too fat, Ghost is node and requires running binaries, etc.

No plugins, just easy to admin for n00bs, minimal maintenance/attack surface.

@human3500 pretty sure my pool went up 2" today, and it's above-ground so it's ~1:1 collection.

@andrew@ottawa.place I've also got pre-fab/pre-terminated SC/APC cables, so you could easily pull that in to your conduit.

@andrew@ottawa.place Juniper EX2300, I think I have a couple, which I believe have 8-10 PoE ports and a pair of SFP+ cages. I've also got at least one US-16-XG kicking around. Finally I have some new-in-box UniFi Enterprise 8 PoE.

Anyone in the #Ottawa / #Gatineau areas want a full-height (40-something RU) 19" relay #rack, that's 10-32 threaded.

I could deliver - if sufficiently motivated.

Note a relay rack is a 2-post rack for short-depth switches, patch panels, and equipment meant to be rack-mounted from mid-points. It's not good for servers, and UPSes would need specific rails for a mid-mount.

(Eatons don't *need* them tho, the 5 & 9 series have mid-mount threading.)

Sample photo included.

And if you need network switches... I have more than I'll ever know what to do with. Super cheap to enterprise/datacentre.

@feld in all seriousness: modular duct bank systems; I see this in labour (aka union) territories/shops where hiring an elechicken to add a twist lock isn't worth it, so they just snap in a pre-fab module onto the buss bars.
