Recovering on my couch having had the last of my problem lymph nodes resected. Pain is much less this time.

A few months ago I got a cancer diagnosis; it helps me to write things down, here's the first bit.

My surgeon resembles Ben Mendelsohn/Orson Krennic, which is amusing and not at all scary.

More surgery for me next week, the remainder of my lymph node is coming out, hopefully this will be it for a while, I am past tired of all this. I do recognise it beats being dead, though.

Why the fuck am I listening to Journey, JFC

Trying to help a client through public key exchange setup and it's as smooth and painless as the 100 years war.

Does anyone have any experience with Clevis and Tang on Ubuntu I could use some help setting it up.

Finally succumbed to watching Stranger Things on a quiet and lonely Sunday evening.

It's obviously very well made and written, but feels like the 80s nostalgia-by-the-numbers.

Five women with identical tank tops that say “Drinking MARGARITAS with my SENORITAS”. Three of them have Mardi Gras beads draped around their neck, five months after Mardi Gras.

I smell tourists.

(Flashback moment: Tass Times in Tonetown, a text adventure. Once you got to the titular Tonetown you needed to wear a certain amount of bling, or an alligator-man would leap out and eat you after a few turns. It felt very weird to be the Tourist instead of the Local in that.)

If you haven't heard of KaiOS before, you probably think Firefox OS is entirely dead. But actually, as a fork of B2G, KaiOS has silently grown to a user base of more than 100 million people on devices from more than 10 manufacturers, making it the third most-popular mobile OS after Android and iOS now.

They just launched proper developer docs, as well as an app store:

* kaiostech.com/meet-the-devices
* developer.kaiostech.com/

Mastodon client for KaiOS, when? All JS/Web clients should work.

Rewatching 1996's 'The Crow Road' for the first time since broadcast and enjoying all the subtext I missed when I was a dumbass 22yr old.
