Still slightly amazing that browsers don't render markdown natively.

Oi! Glasgow's lovely! Well, some bits are...

I've said it before, and I'll never stop saying it.

Zones were awful.

Solaris had all of these great ideas, but the OS was an absolute pain in the ass to admin. And I say that from both sides of the SWAN firewall.

BetterTouchTool works, but it's not pretty - rounded corners end up with blue backgrounds and windows shrink slightly when defocussed.

No joy with the rest.

All I want (for christmas) is an 'Always on top' opton for windows on macos.

I'd pay real actual money, as I suspect would many others.

There's a blast from the past. Dan's Data was excellent - wish he was still blogging.

Yes.

You'd think so, but failing disks in raidz arrays can cause extreme performance problems, and failing disk electronics can cause lockups on SAS/SATA controllers.

Old disks are always risky. Avoid.

2. Why should bash be in /usr/bin? Mine's in /usr/local/bin and I've seen vendored bash binaries in very weird places. Respect the user's PATH.

8. '[' and '[[' are both bash builtins.

9/15. If you're using shellcheck, you'll need to quote (almost) all vars anyway.

I'd pay good money for an 'Always on top' window option on mac.

Yep. Charing Cross exit, J18 is on the right side.

Sony's playstation billing system is a mess and always has been.

Forward slashes in addresses (e.g. <floor>/<apartment>) cause similar mysterious errors.

Life is short. Keep it interesting.
