jeffrock: Dan Wineman: Mandatory racism: another vital part of the Consistent User Experience™. I’ve decided not to use official Twitter clients until the trend bar is either an option or gone altogether. This situation is exactly why. To be clear, I have no issues with ad-supported software. If Twitter wants to run an ad at the top of the scrollview, Twiterrific-style, I’m all for it. It’s your platform. Monetize away. But the problem with the trend bar implementation is that I’m being subjected to what I find to be the poor taste of millions of mouth-breathing buffoons in my own timeline. To put it another way, it feels like Twitter put up a Thomas Kinkade in my living room. While many people may truly enjoy the Painter of Light™, I am not one of them.

Got my ALIX.2D13 in from Netgate. Works great, seamless transition, runs pfSense just fine. Draws ~5W instead of 240W for my ESXi box, which will now be repurposed into a Linux desktop.

Hating the system is a favorite American pastime. It feels good, is difficult to stop once you start, and gets you precisely nowhere, not unlike eating Doritos.
An interesting read.

Yeah, I’m probably insane for driving to the office today, but at least I’m not utterly stymied by a few inches of snow like the rest of CT.

Pretty neat for $4.30. Dunno what I’m gonna do with it, though.

Mondays

Things that make Mondays bearable include, but are not limited to: reaching for your coffee cup with the intention of finding it to be empty or lukewarm, but instead finding at least half a cup of passably hot coffee and not having to walk to the kitchen to get more coffee because it’s fucking Monday.
