remembering how as a kid there were these reconstructions of a hypothetical Troodon descendant - which looked a lot like a Gray Alien.

But of course there ARE intelligent, social, tool-using manaraptoran descendants, and they don't look like that, because they're crows and ravens.

tbh this whole thing is due for replacement but I don't have the spare funds to do it properly right now :<

Hrmph. Computer (desktop) randomly rebooting with no warning is usually a sign of a dodgy power supply, yeah?

I'm looking for work in #webdevelopment/#devops. If you know of a job opening that I might qualify for, or if you need work done in that area on a freelance basis, please let me know.

Here's my resume: github.com/joyeusenoelle/Resum

(You can also see some of my recent work at github.com/joyeusenoelle/ !)

Blargh. Should have made some sort of plans for today in advance. Saturdays where I don't make plans to do something active always fuck me up.

Had the opportunity to participate in a high-intensity protest but I felt too risk-averse and bailed on it :/

I think I need new pants.

Elite Dangerous procedural tech 

Did a bit of research on how ED generates systems. I would have thought that the stars and planets and stuff are just plunked down according to statistical distributions, but apparently it actually models stellar accretion and planetary formation on an individual basis. One consequence of this is way more binary planets than the devs expected!

*awesome*.

Elite Dangerous, black hole 

Someday I should fly out to Maia, rent a Sidewinder, and see what it's like to dive in.

Elite Dangerous, black hole 

Found one all by myself!

also got probably too close.

That's not an accretion disk, it's gravitational lensing on some background nebulae

Oh sweet we've started getting YouTube ads for industrial monitoring / datalogging equipment. Those are much better than than for soda or whatever.

Tryin' out the glitchsoc "draw something" feature! Next time I won't click outside of the pop-up window and lose everything.

I'm still going on about Elite Dangerous 

Something about turning off shields after leaving inhabited space is kinda calming. You don't need them once you're away from people, and saving the power/heat makes fuel scooping a touch safer.

Also is it just me or is powerplant heat efficiency displayed totally backwards in this game? Numbers closer to 1 should be more efficient, not less.
