  1. I was also surprised to find that pest control (I assume) includes cats someone or some group takes care of out there.

    🏁 what I’m considering Mission Bay and Dogpatch.

    Being from Maryland, I wondered where Maryland Street, once I found, many years ago, that most of the state-named streets, are along the eastern side of the city here. Maryland St. specifically is right on the waterfront. But you can only get to a few blocks at a time between all the industry.

All of the visible sections of the Mission, Bernal Heights, Potrero Hill, Mission Bay, and Dogpatch streets (and most alleys but not all the weird driveways and private sections of old streets which are slowly returning) are marked with a purple trail.

  3. Solidarity with all the parents of little kids who would be hitting their winter break stride right now if they had a moment of peace but won’t until school starts up again, ten of the longest days of the year from now, and oh btw it’s been raining the entire week

    10th anniversary: https://www.djfood.org/raiding-the-20th-century-is-10-years-old/

    β€˜Raiding the 20th Century’ is 10 years oldIt’s been bought to my attention that the original version of my β€˜Raiding The 20th Century’ mix is now 10 years old. Originally a 40 minute guest mix on Eddy Temple-Morrisβ€˜ XFM radio show, The Remix, it was my attempt to construct a rough history of β€˜cut up’ music in the midst of the mashup up/bastard pop craze. Taking in Music Concrete, avant garde tape composition, radiophonic tape experiments, megamixes, edit kings, scratching, early sampling and of course mash ups, it was one of the most densely mixed and edited things I’ve ever done. When it debuted it was put up on the Ninja Tune site at the time and quickly went a bit viral, causing the server to melt down and the site to grind to a halt by the next morning.

  6. 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

  7. 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)

  8. Got a barcode, will be in DC Thursday through Sunday πŸ€—

  9. Oops, forgot to try for a shmoocon barcode one last time

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

    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.
