Microsoft Teams is a cruel joke, isn't it?

So was reading things on the Net and thought I'd give #Tailscale a try since people seem to like it - but they require a Google or Microsoft account to sign up. Eugh. Nope, that's not gonna fly.

Took about a day to get a test system up and running, now to actually test and tweak things. #productivity

Spoke too soon, seems it only fixed part of my map. Oh well.

Oh my, they fixed the topology bug in the Flex Mini firmware in 1.8.4.674 - about time! #unifi

I think I have most of the building blocks I need for my #micropython project. Next step is to think up a nice way to encode the schedule (json?) and auto-update the display at appropriate times…

I2C is a pretty lousy protocol, isn't it? #embedded

I was given a gift certificate for Apple Store, but apprently it's only valid in the US store - which I have no use for. So if you're in need of $10 in Apple US money, feel free to redeem this: XZRZ73RZQ4ZFR98Y.

I think it's interesting that we cannot know what the world actually looked like even a few deades ago - all the items still around from the time have aged and been miscolored, and any photos were taken with crappy technology - not to mention before the camera was even invented!

We can use old paintings to estimate levels of pollution in London, but we can't really see what it was actually like.

TIL oxymoron literally means "smart moron", which is an oxymoron, which makes it autological.

I suppose it's good that all languages are weird, not just programming ones.
