p funny going through bad twenty year old posts on my silly old website converting them to their fourth or fifth text markup language this holiday break and running into so many broken links and embeds.

onion-on-belt taboos against both hotlinking and mirroring completely made sense at the time, but, now, guess what silly, it’s all gone, we should have hard mirrored entire things we liked, if we liked them, even if only as time capsules

a 20-something tailgated me through one of the new door sized bart gates this week, clearly waiting for the right person to follow, and I knew exactly what to do, keep listening to my podcast, acknowledge nothing, even with the stupid new turnstile, which is slow and annoying, beeping behind me.

hell yeah, we’re doing the moves, fare dodging, and we’re walking down the stairs like nothing happened, gg

(fwiw the tone is a solid beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for idk how many seconds)

ah, the boys sang Pocket Calculator in Italian for Italian TV

love the tiny instruments on this

got a barcode, will be in DC Thursday through Sunday 🤗

I don’t go to security conferences much anymore but a friend not on here and I were both on sg-dc and lived in DC in 2004, so, when the CFP got posted there ( https://marc.info/?l=sg-dc&m=109509914217942&w=2). It got his attention.

I didn’t end up getting a barcode until November 30th. I walked to and from the con at the Wardman each day from my place in Adam’s Morgan.

One of the nights, we got dinner w/ @webjedi (his boss) and a few months later I quit my IT job started working for 'em as a security engineer.

So.

oops, forgot to try for a shmoocon barcode one last time

might do lobbycon anyway, it being the last one and all that

junior on working through some math (addition of single digit numbers, kindergarten-appropriate):

“it’s like there’s a teacher in my head, teaching me, all the time”

math-knowers in chat have pointed out that I should have parlayed this into quarto equis on account of dos times dos producing that quatro, but this is one of my locals and I can’t get quatro equis every time I go to keep in order to service that charade

ordred some tacos and a dos equis at the tacqueria last night, clerk rang me up, I paid, he turned around and handed me my tacos and dos dos equis.

what a scam, but I’ll be drinking that second one that’s in my fridge now eventually anyway I guess
