Fun fact: each book scanned for the Internet Archive has a unique identifier, usually the title of the item, or its first 16 characters; the volume number, or 00 if there isn't one; and the first 4 characters of the author. So:
MH (work, -)
Man, I'm just feeling awful today. Crashed out from work early at 2PM to rest, woke up 8PM. Still exhaused, but can't fall asleep because I'm anxious about a call with Dublin's on their AM (2AM our side). (Yes, that's a ridiculous hour, but if they don't get their shit together I'm going to have to cancel my planned flight out there Monday. D:)

tumblr sale
1. Wow, that’s a big drop from what Verizon paid. I hope the Wordpress folks treat the service better.
2. Folks are pointing out that Tumblr just sold for the price of a two bedroom in SF, and I just... 🙃
Okay, so I just finished up A Certain Scientific Railgun, and I'm just... really happy that I did that. Tons of roll-your-eyes and other "Godammit, anime!" moments, but... beautiful. <3

Random Q for folks, since it's been a long time since I've bought a server from an outside vendor, surprisingly. What's a reasonable cost for a two socket HP/Dell server with non-outrageous 2x CPU, RAM, and drive specs? (Was quoting a server cluster and the prices came back high enough that I choked for a moment.)
Ah, Adobe EPUB DRM, my old nemesis. We meet again.

This is one of the most mindblowing short stories that I've ever read. https://www.tor.com/2019/06/12/skinner-box-carole-johnstone/

Safely back at SFO!
Boarding DUB->SFO. Love you all. <3
Standing in the first security line to race through a terminal to the second security line to get in line for passport control... Kafka would be proud.

How do you tell a cat from a C++ compiler?
The compiler shuts up once it’s satisfied.

What do cats and C++ compilers have in common?
When something is wrong, they scream at you, and you have no idea what they’re saying.

This is a photo of my dog Jack, under a coffee table, looking like he's a nervous messenger for the KGB.
I want you to have it. 
Gnight!
There are also parts that are genuinely heartwarming, too. <3
There are many parts where I roll my eyes, but Misaka is just fucking awesome, and I can't get over that. XD
So I randomly started watching A Certain Scientific Railgun after seeing this clip, and it's both horrible and hilarious in every possible way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXkbQoXNusc
