48. The tale was being told in the barn area this morning of the guy who had been coming to the Kentucky derby for twenty years. Never once in that time does he bring his everloving wife with him. And finally his old lady insists that she accompany him. This is slightly more than somewhat embarrassing to the guy because his everloving might interfere with his drinking. But he orders a mint julep anyway. “Let me taste that,” she says, reaching for the glass with the grass in it.

    “Ugh,” she says, making a face. “That is horrible.”

    “You said it,” he says bitterly. “And all these years you have been thinking that I have been having fun.”

    seinfelt:

    Jerry’s performance as a comedian is greatly diminished as a result of his humors being out of balance.

    Kramer, suffering excesses of his yellow and black biles, takes out his aggressions on an unruly child.

    George finds it impossible to decrease the intensity of his animal magnetism, despite a dedicated effort.

    Elaine, suffering a strange and intense imbalance of qi, attempts to manipulate the energy flows in her life by violently rearranging the people around her.

    Vitalism is so charming.

    Also, I tried drafting a Seinfelt plot synopses spun on the core of Queneau’s Exercises in Style–Elaine is on the bus, sees George and Jerry get on, George is being George, Jerry goes and sits down, later Elaine sees Jerry talking to Kramer–after the second or third of this series and, welp, not easy!

108. Exercises in Seinfelt

     Elaine is taking the bus back across town, again, with arm-loads of Peterman’s dry cleaning. At every stop, she tries to get off, saying “excuse me” from behind all the pressed suits but none of the other passengers can hear her, and, trying not to wrinkle Peterman’s suits, Elaine resigns herself to a spot at the back of the bus until later in the morning when the morning commute rush has died down. She’s crossed town four times so far.

     In front of Tom’s Restaurant, George and Jerry get onto Elaine’s bus. George hates public transit and is unwilling to touch anything or anyone but Jerry, who he keeps jostling in clumsy attempts to avoid contacting any other bus passenger, bus seat, or bus rail.

     “Germs Jerry! Germs!”

     At the next stop, Jerry, increasingly annoyed with George, spots an empty seat and takes it.

     Elaine makes no attempt to get their attention because it’s more fun to watch George bouncing from surface to surface in the confined bus, screaming about germs and annoying .

     My favorite day in Dolores Park, ever. Went down dressed as Zombie Cold Beer! Cold Water!. For those of you not from San Francisco, “Cold Beer! Cold Water!” is a man who walks around Dolores Park with a cooler bag selling, well, yeah…. cans of PBR (sometimes Simple Times) and water. Here are some photos of him. And while he’s not wearing this outfit in any of those shots, I promise this is pretty damn close to what he wore most days this summer.

     I can do a pretty good impression of his call, and he kind of sounds like a zombie anyway, so I went with it. I had my zombie walk on, and set out hollering… over and over and over… “Cold beer! Cold Water!” Some people had no idea what was going on, but most people recognized who I was supposed to be. And THREE different people mistook me for the man himself, all saying something like, “Oh, my god! He dressed up for Halloween!” One man was convinced I stole CBCW’s shirt. Ganja Treats took my photo! I sold twelve beers and four waters (though I gave away like half of them). But where was the OG CBCW?

     I got up to leave after a couple hours, carrying my cooler, continuing the zombie walk and yelling his call, when suddenly, I heard him. He was only fifty feet or so away from me. “Cold Beer!” he yelled. “Cold Water!” I responded. People were cracking up, and one woman came running after me demanding I go after him and take a photo. I was on my way out though and having never talked to dude in my life didn’t know if he’d really appreciate my costume and I chickened out. Still, I had a blast.

     EXT. A DESERT VISTA
     A tumble weed rolls by followed by two smaller tumbleweeds. A fourth surpasses them.
     INT. A DARK BUNKER
     The General paces behind a row of analysts in a dark war room the size of an NBA arena, but stylized like the bridge of The Enterprise. You know, from Star Wars.
     EXT. A DESERT VISTA
     ECU. A SIGN
     A military looking sign on a chain-link fence topped with razor wire topped with barbed wire proclaims “NSA – FORT ENTERPRISE”.
     INT. A DARK BUNKER.
     Analysts at each station operate banks of keyboards. The keyboards are different colors and have differently colored CAPS LOCK LED lights. Each color indicates the language of the workstation each is attached too. The CAPS LOCK LED lights are lit on every keyboard. Arrays of monitors tower over each analyst but The General is tall enough to be seen above them as he paces.

     The General: Did you phish them yet?

     Analyst 1: Sir, we’re trying.
     ECU. THE GENERAL
     The General: I gave you a direct order. Phish them again!
     Analyst 2: I am sir. They haven’t clicked anything yet. We need more time!
     The General grimaces.
     The General: There is no time.
     WIDE. THE DARK BUNKER
     A third analyst approaches from the far side of the war room. His heels click on the gleaming floor in the silence. Analyst 3 reaches The General.
     Analyst 3: Sir, intelligence just in.
     The General: What is it lieutenant?
     ECU. ANALYST 3.
     Analyst 3: Sir, they’ve been warned.
     ECU. THE GENERAL.
     The General: Warned?

     Memento Mori

     60 BC - 40 BC

     Found in Naples

     Emblem mosaic depicting allegorical the transience of life, cd. Memento mori 

     The mosaic in the second style , formed the ‘ emblem in the floor of the triclinium , and in it we find an allegorical and symbolic, philosophical theme of the Hellenistic origin of the transience of life and death dell’incombere ( “memento mori” ) which, eliminating disparities in social class and wealth, the fate of equilibria. The summit of the composition is a level with his plumb line, a tool that was used by masons to control the leveling in construction. The axis of the lead is death (the skull), under a butterfly (the soul) balanced on a wheel (Fortune). Under the arms of the level, and opposed in perfect balance, are the symbols of poverty on the right (the bag, stick a beggar and cape), and wealth to the left (the scepter, purple and crown). It should be observed in using the wisdom of the artist weave of different colour to provide greater accuracy and characterization of some representations, such as the skull, or the level, where the shades allow you to notice the wooden part of the instrument and the elements of fitting in bronze.

     I’m really enjoying BeerAlchemy. If you’re on a Mac and not using software to help track your brewing process, you should give it a try. I’ve got both the iOS and Mac apps, and they don’t sync yet, but I expect they will soonish and I’m looking forward to it. It’s tempting to go back and record the previous 25 or so batches from my paper notes but I just wasn’t tracking enough data points to make them useful.

     Interestingly, and sadly, none of my last four batches, while all tasty enough, have finished under 7P. Fermentation temperature is the toughest home brewing challenge to tackle.

     My 1995 self would be very interested to find that that my browser no longer has a stop button, or any other navigation buttons. And that it uses a weird form of MDI, like tabs in an application’s preferences.

     My 1995 self would probably be pretty confused that I consider my bookmarks menu to be a vestigial feature that hasn’t been cleared of the software’s defaults or populated with any categorized reference material. And that a download manager is built in, and not shameful browser side-ware. And that, still, nobody cares about anything similar to VRML.

     My 1995 self would probably not understand at all that my browser has a default deny policy for all plugins and javascript. And that it hides comments on any page from other “netizens” besides the author. And that it has a huge button that hides all the pictures and videos and ads and style and just shows the text in a suck.com style readable format. And that it has two export buttons that save the text off-web somewhere because things on the web disappear or are hard to find. And that I don’t hide ads because I understand that adults need to be paid for their work.

     The project is comprised of two parts:

     A tumblr page photoshopcs5filtersanimation.tumblr.com , where all the effects live together at the same time as animated gif, representing all the steps from the original Ps logo to the final output.

     And a video showing every filter one after each other, with a custom sound design that uses the same sound for each filter but with a different distortion effect for every case, exporting the graphical concept to the sound.

     In both parts, the order of appearance is the same that offers photoshop.

     Xterm Inception

     or, How to Use Xterm Mice and Colors in Fish Through iTerm2 Over Mosh (over ssh) in Tmux on Remote Vim and Weechat Terminals.

     Inception levels

     1. Reality
     2. iTerm2
     3. fish
     4. ssh
     5. mosh
     6. fish
     7. tmux
     8. vim, weechat, etc
     9. Dream level 1 and so on.

     Configuring it all

     1. Configure iTerm2 to report itself as an xterm-256color and enable mouse control codes.

     2. Ensure your shell’s $TERM recognizes it. You shouldn’t have to force this with any shell init junk.

     3. Execute this perl one liner to print the XTerm control sequences to “Use Cell Motion Mouse Tracking” (1002) and “Enable UTF-8 Mouse Mode” (1005). Consider wrapping mosh in something that does this for you.

        perl -E ' print "\e[?1005h\e[?1002h" '
        

     4. mosh to the remote host.

     5. Configure remote tmux to support mice. Add the following to ~/.tmux.conf

        set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"   # use 256 colors
        set -g status-utf8 on                       # enable utf-8
        set -g mode-mouse on
        

     6. Configure vim to follow suit. Add the following to your ~/.vimrc

        set mouse=a
        set ttymouse=xterm2
        

     7. Configure weechat to do the same in ~/.weechat/weechat.conf.

        mouse = on
        

     A Weird olde tip

     Hold option to use your mouse on your local terminal instead of the remote one.

Code “ZXX” is used when there is: “No linguistic content; Not applicable.” The project started with a genuine question: How can we conceal our fundamental thoughts from artificial intelligences and those who deploy them? I decided to create a typeface that would be unreadable by text scanning software (whether used by a government agency or a lone hacker) — misdirecting information or sometimes not giving any at all. It can be applied to huge amounts of data, or to personal correspondence. I drew six different cuts (Sans, Bold, Camo, False, Noise and Xed) to generate endless permutations, each font designed to thwart machine intelligences in a different way. I offered the typeface as a free download in hopes that as many people as possible would use it.”

433. It’s important to bear in mind I’m being called a traitor by men like former Vice President Dick Cheney. This is a man who gave us the warrantless wiretapping scheme as a kind of atrocity warm-up on the way to deceitfully engineering a conflict that has killed over 4,400 and maimed nearly 32,000 Americans, as well as leaving over 100,000 Iraqis dead. Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American, and the more panicked talk we hear from people like him, Feinstein, and King, the better off we all are. If they had taught a class on how to be the kind of citizen Dick Cheney worries about, I would have finished high school.

469. The Final Ultimate Solution to the Spam Problem

     Your idea advocates a

     (x) technical ( ) legislative ( ) market-based ( ) vigilante
     
     approach to fighting spam. 
     
     Your idea will not work. Here is why it won't work. (One or more of the following 
     may apply to your particular idea, and it may have other flaws which used to vary 
     from state to state before a bad federal law was passed.)
     
     ( ) Spammers can easily use it to harvest email addresses
     ( ) Mailing lists and other legitimate email uses would be affected
     ( ) No one will be able to find the guy or collect the money
     (x) It is defenseless against brute force attacks
     ( ) It will stop spam for two weeks and then we'll be stuck with it
     ( ) Users of email will not put up with it
     ( ) Microsoft will not put up with it
     ( ) The police will not put up with it
     (x) Requires too much cooperation from spammers
     (x) Requires immediate total cooperation from everybody at once
     (x) Many email users cannot afford to lose business or alienate potential employers
     ( ) Spammers don't care about invalid addresses in their lists
     ( ) Anyone could anonymously destroy anyone else's career or business
     
     Specifically, your plan fails to account for
     
     ( ) Laws expressly prohibiting it
     ( ) Lack of centrally controlling authority for email
     (x) Open relays in foreign countries
     ( ) Ease of searching tiny alphanumeric address space of all email addresses
     ( ) Asshats
     ( ) Jurisdictional problems
     ( ) Unpopularity of weird new taxes
     ( ) Public reluctance to accept weird new forms of money
     (x) Huge existing software investment in SMTP
     ( ) Susceptibility of protocols other than SMTP to attack
     ( ) Willingness of users to install OS patches received by email
     (x) Armies of worm riddled broadband-connected Windows boxes
     ( ) Eternal arms race involved in all filtering approaches
     ( ) Extreme profitability of spam
     ( ) Joe jobs and/or identity theft
     ( ) Technically illiterate politicians
     ( ) Extreme stupidity on the part of people who do business with spammers
     (x) Dishonesty on the part of spammers themselves
     (x) Bandwidth costs that are unaffected by client filtering
     ( ) Outlook
     
     and the following philosophical objections may also apply:
     
     ( ) Ideas similar to yours are easy to come up with, yet none have ever been shown practical
     ( ) Any scheme based on opt-out is unacceptable
     ( ) SMTP headers should not be the subject of legislation
     ( ) Blacklists suck
     ( ) Whitelists suck
     ( ) We should be able to talk about Viagra without being censored
     ( ) Countermeasures should not involve wire fraud or credit card fraud
     ( ) Countermeasures should not involve sabotage of public networks
     (x) Countermeasures must work if phased in gradually
     ( ) Sending email should be free
     ( ) Why should we have to trust you and your servers?
     ( ) Incompatiblity with open source or open source licenses
     ( ) Feel-good measures do nothing to solve the problem
     ( ) Temporary/one-time email addresses are cumbersome
     ( ) I don't want the government reading my email
     ( ) Killing them that way is not slow and painful enough
     
     Furthermore, this is what I think about you:
     
     (x) Sorry dude, but I don't think it would work.
     ( ) This is a stupid idea, and you're a stupid person for suggesting it.
     ( ) Nice try, assh0le! I'm going to find out where you live and burn your house down!

472. Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.

     Another CUSTOMER leans in.
     CUSTOMER: Are you open?
     DANTE: (rolls his eyes) Yes.
     RANDAL: You know what? I don’t think I care for you rationale.
     DANTE: It’s going to have to do for now, considering that it’s my laptop that’s up for request. (to CUSTOMER) Can I help you?
     CUSTOMER: Pack of cigarettes.
     RANDAL: What’s your point?
     DANTE: My point is that you’re a clerk, paid to do a job. You can’t just do anything you want while you’re working.
     CUSTOMER: (reading a security blog) “The next threat to the cloud and what CISSPs are doing about it; Cyber security funding up.” (to DANTE and RANDAL) They hype any kind of buzzwords in these things.
     DANTE: They certainly do. Two fifty-five.
     RANDAL: So your argument is that title dictates behavior?
     DANTE: What?
     RANDAL: The reasons you won’t let me borrow your laptop is because I have a title and a job description, and I’m supposed to follow it, right?
     DANTE: Exactly.
     CUSTOMER: (interjecting) I saw one, one time online, that said Chinese APT had hacked american defense contractors. Then in the next week’s post, they said the NSA was hiring security defenders but only to man Einstein consoles. APT? Cloud? What does that shit even mean?
     RANDAL: (eyes the CUSTOMER, annoyed) So I’m no more responsible for my own decisions while I’m here at work than, say, the Death Squad soldiers in Bosnia?
     DANTE: That’s stretching it. You’re not being asked to slay children or anything.
     RANDAL: Not yet.
     RANDAL: (sips water)
     CUSTOMER: (again with the interjections) And I remember this one time at DEFCON this Fed was giving a talk about…
     RANDAL spits a mist of water at the customer, drenching him. The man reacts violently, attempting to grab RANDAL from over the counter. RANDAL makes no move, but remains untouched. DANTE plays block.
     CUSTOMER: I’M GONNA DOX YOUR FUCKING ASS! YOU FUCKING LAMER!
     DANTE: Sir! Sir, I’m sorry! He didn’t mean it! He was trying to get me.
     CUSTOMER: Well, he missed!
     DANTE: I know. I’m sorry. Let me refund your cigarette money, and we’ll call it even.
     CUSTOMER: (considerably calmer; takes money) This is the last time I ever come here. (to RANDAL) And if I ever see you again, I’m gonna rm your fucking shit!
     The CUSTOMER leaves, wiping water from his face. RANDAL salutes him.
     DANTE: (angrily) What the fuck did you do that for?
     RANDAL: Two reasons: one, I hate when the people can’t shut up about the jargon that people in the military use.
     DANTE: Jesus!
     RANDAL: And two, to make a point: title does not dictate behavior.

638. Coffee Maker

     INT. TYRELL CORPORATION LOCKER ROOM - DAY
     THE EYE
     It’s magnified and deeply revealed. Flecks of green and yellow in a field of milky blue. Icy filaments surround the undulating center.
     The eye is brown in a tiny screen. On the metallic surface below, the words VOIGHT-KAMPFF are finely etched. There’s a touch-light panel across the top and on the side of the screen, a dial that registers fluctuations of the iris.
     The instrument is no bigger than a music box and sits on a table between two men. The man talking is big, looks like an over-stuffed kid. “LEON” it says on his breast pocket. He’s dressed in a warehouseman’s uniform and his pudgy hands are folded expectantly in his lap. Despite the obvious heat, he looks very cool. The man facing him is lean, hollow cheeked and dressed in gray. Detached and efficient, he looks like a cop or an accountant. His name is HOLDEN and he’s all business, except for the sweat on his face. The room is large and humid. Rows of salvaged junk are stacked neatly against the walls. Two large fans whir above their heads.
     LEON: Okay if I talk?
     Holden doesn’t answer. He’s centering Leon’s eye on the machine.
     LEON: I kinda get nervous when I take tests.
     HOLDEN: Don’t move.
     LEON: Sorry.
     He tries not to move but finally his lips can’t help a sheepish smile.
     LEON: Already had I.Q. test this year – but I don’t think I never had a…
     HOLDEN: (cutting in) Reaction time is a factor in this, so please pay attention. Answer quickly as you can.
     Leon compresses his lips and nods his big head eagerly. Holden’s voice is cold, geared to intimidate and evoke response.
     HOLDEN: You’re in an office, walking along in the kitchen when all of a sudden you look down and see a…
     LEON: What one? It was a timid interruption, hardly audible.
     HOLDEN: What?
     LEON: What office?
     HOLDEN: Doesn’t make any difference what office – it’s completely hypothetical.
     LEON: But how come I’d be there?
     HOLDEN: Maybe you’re fed up, maybe you want to be by yourself – who knows. So you look down and see a carafe. It’s steaming…
     LEON: A carafe. What’s that?
     HOLDEN: Know what a coffee pot is?
     LEON: Of course.
     HOLDEN: Same thing.
     LEON: I never seen a coffee pot.
     He sees Holden’s patience is wearing thin.
     LEON: But I understand what you mean.
     HOLDEN: You reach down and pour the last cup out of the carafe, Leon.
     Keeping an eye on his subject, Holden notes the dials in the Voight-Kampff. One of the needles quivers slightly.
     LEON: You make these questions, Mr. Holden, or they write 'em down for you?
     Disregarding the question, Holden continues, picking up the pace.
     HOLDEN: The carafe is empty, there are fresh grounds right next to it, and an industrial coffee maker. But it can’t make itself. Not without your help. But you’re not helping.
     Leon’s upper lip is quivering.
     LEON: Whatcha mean, I’m not helping?
     HOLDEN: I mean you’re not helping! Why is that, Leon?
     Leon looks shocked, surprised. But the needles in the computer barely move. Holden goes for the inside of his coat. But big Leon is faster. His LASER BURNS a hole the size of a nickel through Holden’s stomach. Unlike a bullet, a laser causes no impact. It goes through Holden’s spine and comes out his back, clean as a whistle. Like a rag doll he falls back off the bench from the waist up. By the time he hits the floor, big slow Leon is already walking away. But he stops, turns and with a little smile of satisfaction, FIRES at the machine on the table. There’s a flash and a puff of smoke. The Voight-Kampff is hit dead center, crippled but not destroyed; as Leon walks out of the room, one of its lights begins to blink, faint but steady.

     I had a problem yesterday, so I called my neighbor, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come over.

     He clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.

     As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong?
     He replied, ‘It was an ID ten T error.’

     I didn’t want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired,
     ‘An, ID ten T error? What’s that? In case I need to fix it again.’

     He grinned … 'Haven’t you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?
     ‘No,’ I replied.
     ‘Write it down,’ he said, ‘and I think you’ll figure it out.’
     So I wrote down:

     ID10T

850. On Modules and Gems and Similar Works

     A family walks into a talent agency. It’s a father, mother, son, daughter and dog. The father says to the talent agent, “We have a really amazing act. You should represent us.”

     “Sorry, I don’t represent family acts. They’re a little too cute.”

     The mother steps forward.

     “Sir, if you just see our act, we know you would want to represent us." 

     "OK. OK. I’ll take a look.”

     First, I come out and pick a guy from the audience and ask him to pick a scripting language. It doesn’t matter what language he picks, we can do the act in Perl, Python, Ruby, R, you name it. We blindfold the guy and put him in an isolation chamber on stage so that he isn’t in the know on the middle of the act.

     Then I go out and hold back the standard library in that language by weeding out anyone that hopes to improve it and distracting them with more interesting work. Meanwhile, my wife begins work on a much improved alternative and cutely named alternative to the problematic standard library.

     So then, when she’s done, my son publishes her new library in the standard package manager using the cute name, but here’s the thing: he changes the name used to import it subtly. Say we call the library doubleagent in the package manager but to use it in a script, you have to import or use or require or whatever agentagent. 

     Then my daughter starts cranking out useful scripts that use the library. But she assigns the documentation to our dog! He never writes it!

     This is where I come back in: I SEO a buncha ads for these great scripts with no documentation and don’t mention the module’s package managed name.

     Then we go get the guy we picked from the audience and we take the blindfold off and we ask him to try to write a script that will almost definitely need our new libraries, only we give him a fresh server build to write it on so if he wants ‘em, he has to set up his environment first.

     It’s all going ok until the guy decides to use our library (they always do, trust me). The guy doesn’t know agentagent doesn’t exist in the package manager because it’s really doubleagent but all the SEO articles I write act like everyone already knows this because I google dork for anyone that mentions it offhand and DMCA them into taking it down. 

     The act wraps with the guy from the audience having to search Stack Exchange type sites and waste 5 minutes of the entire theater’s life to find that agentagent is doubleagent. Once he figures this out, he files it away as language-lore and we forbid him from publishing anything about it.

     For the longest time, the agent just sits in silence. Finally, he manages, “That’s a hell of an act. What do you call it?”

     And the father says, “The Aristocrats!”
