IBM Cloud to ‘uplift’ prices by up to 29 percent!


ok i didn’t care a whit about what IBM did. I just wanted an excuse to link to Adnan Sami’s peppy 90s hit

#LaalKaptaan (2019) is a visually stunning feast!


Lovely performances.


only wish the story was a bit more epic to match the running time.
(or it’d have be edited tighter to make it match the gritty, mystery, revenge story it is - not my preference though. i love a long, long spectacle)

If I haven’t said it here before, Dr. Chuck is one of the best teachers there is.


And his courses are all free.

I use #Emacs. I write code using #Python
I write in #English
I am #Heterosexual and #Married to a wonderful woman


It’s just because I stumbled into these and I was ok with them.
Later in life when I learnt how to reflect and think critically, I evaluated most of my big life choices and stayed with most of them, because they made me happy


And I am and do all these things, not because these are inherently good or better. it’s just what i like and what i choose to do / be


Folks choosing / being ok with / stumbling into the alternatives are choosing what makes them happy. They aren’t wrong. They aren’t bad.
Just different.


We could all do with a little kindness (and a little bit of self reflection)


and if we can’t do that, at least learn to mind our own business and not to poke our noses into stuff that does not concern us

sufficiently horrified **and** amused the young pixies my mom teaches, by telling them that they could think of their noses as volcanoes and nose goo as lava.


there, now they will never be confused with volcano / lava again.

Moo Acopalipse by Like Mucus finally here!
aah no, we’re not at that time of the year yet


But it’s still a cause for celebration today!


Mike Lucas’ (@mwl) #ApocalypseMoi is finally in my greedy #AntiLibrary


(or it’s just me that’s greedy and the calibre library is just a long suffering repository 😂)

doing this when i’m laid up in bed and slightly medicated is a good idea, no?

hmm, think i’ll keep this public


most of these are just random thoughts that i have no problems being public with.


mostly because my family and friends are either too tired or too busy to listen to me blab


i can thus inflict my slight insanity on the rest of the unsuspecting world, in hopes that i’ll figure something out myself later, or some kind soul teaches me the error my ways.
