1. When I was a energy company security person back in the 00s my intrusion detection system hit on a VNC signature and I had a network capture running so I went and carved it out and replayed the video of it and it looked just like this and I panicked a little (I had no idea what our actual control systems looked like) and then called the worker who I saw on the other end of it

    they were doing volunteer work for their local ice skating rink

  2. The picnic was a success, we used two of the grills, four or five of the tables, and some of us grabbed e-bikes back to work downtown from the parking racks up the street because the ride from Chase to the Ferry Building is pretty nice even on a cool day

    someone approached and asked how we booked the spot because they wanted to do the same thing so I got to relate that story, then they took a picture one of the grills we were using, which I thought was weird, but I guess people just do that anymore

    and someone from the parks service walked over and gave us three huge trash bags and asked that we make sure to clean up after ourselves, which of course we had planned to, and did, but that was nice

  3. kinda fun, never tried the lyft ebike before, plenty of pep, hassle to find parking

  4. I should be allowed to drop some words in some sentences and some letters in some words

  5. It’s a secret to everybody. I put my sourdough starter in the little closet under the stairs where my home server and network gear is when I feed it on weekends in the winter.

  6. oops forgot to turn this off

    Figure 1. A map of San Francisco, California. The path of a five and a quarter mile (eight and a half kilometer) walk is indicated. About 10500 steps and 167 feet (51 meters) elevation over nine and a half hours, (one and three quarters hours moving).
  7. Most of the content is even more personally embarrassing than it was when I blew it away last time, six years ago. No one should have to reconcile with specific texts of their own teens, twenties, or thirties, which was the explicit reason I used to keep it up, until I didn’t believe it anymore: the unexamined life, blah, blah, blah

    the actual work of getting it to build was mostly fighting with the cruft of fads and new-things (shtml, textpattern, wordpress, octopress, etc) and incredible journeys ( https://ourincrediblejourney.tumblr.com/) and stuff I’d divested from over whatever reasons seemed sufficient at the time. Oh, we are all protest-deleting our github accounts now? Ok, I can do that. Oh, flickr got acquired and is being weird? Cya. tumblr too? bummer.

    so I’m finally going back to 1999, running it for myself only, on my home internet connection. kinda nice tbh

  8. Got my old 1999-2011 blog ( https://web.archive.org/web/20170709060307/http://archives.grantstavely.com/ to build with 11ty ( http://11ty.dev ) during idle time over the past few weekends. I don’t know if it’s even possible or coherent to rebuild the 2011-2018 tumblr ( https://web.archive.org/web/20180330002228/https://grantstavely.com/) I replaced it with

    anyway, 11ty seems nice

  9. Afternoon Walk

  10. I can hear this hooky Newmanesque chorus (or a much better one probably) getting played at Giants games and everything

    Oh, San Francisco

    Oh, I gotta go

    Oh, I gotta go

Pizza Slow (high quality)
