Tonight we celebrate the night many years ago when the MAC sector reactor began to overheat, but there were only enough carbon rods to moderate it for a single day.

Miraculously, the carbon rods lasted for 8 days, buying enough time for a new batch to arrive and prevent catastrophic meltdown.

From this we know that Friend Computer is always with us in our hour of need.
And that in great quantities, human bodies can substitute nicely for carbon rods.

HALF AN HOUR UNTIL DOCTOR WHO

#DoctorWho #XmasDay

Yippee ki-yay…

Merry Christmas #retrocomputing 😄

Today is the day when billions round the world celebrate the birth of Palestinian Jewish ethical teacher Iesu al Bet'lemi, who taught his followers to share everything, totally abstain from violence, never to judge other people's sexual behaviour, and that the rich could never be reconciled with God.

Hallelujah..

@marioguzman @bpd I took the liberty of merging both your sets with mine, and found a bunch more including NeXTSTEP from 1993, so currently 31 documents: https://github.com/gingerbeardman/apple-human-interface-guidelines

I'm rewatching #TheExpanse and it's just perfect.

Tom Jane and Jared Harris clearly loved their roles, and it's impossible to not love every second Shohreh Aghdashloo is on screen.

The colourised #DoctorWho special of the #WarGames is brilliant. An excellent way to bring an ancient serial back to life.

Well that was an easy festive family tech support ticket:

Problem: USB flash drive was not working.

Diagnosis: that's not a USB flash drive. That is the dongle for your mouse.

Solution: here's a USB flash drive.

An exciting evening ahead of us: We are performing maintenance on our #Ceph storage system and will distribute data across the machines for the first time.

We expect no or little interruption of our services, but performance might degrade while the new nodes are backfilling.

Would you upload your biometric data to a central database to save border agents time during travel security checks?

The European Commission is asking for feedback on a proposal to digitalise passports - but we raise several big concerns.

Bonus #XrayMyAdvent item - I found the full CT scan of the Brussel sprout that someone asked about.

It dehydrated a bit in the scanner, causing some movement artefacts, so it's not the sharpest reconstruction.

Just in case some of you get any ideas.

If you're out shopping and see someone stealing diapers, formula, or food...

NO, YOU FUCKING DIDN'T.

If you see someone stealing condoms or medical supplies...

NO, YOU FUCKING DIDN'T.

You didn't see shit. You didn't hear shit. You don't know shit.

Got it?
