12:35

also 2018 is the year trilema actually took over my leisure reading needs. by now it's so old i've forgotten a large enough proportion of it the odds of hitting an interesting article loading my own blog actually exceed the odds of hitting something interesting by picking up a torrent, or opening the internets.

asciilifeform recalls approximately when this ^ had happened to uncle al

12:36

when ?

12:36

some time around beginning of bush-I reign

12:36

did it show ?

12:36

it did!

12:36

how ?

12:37

started appending old essays to usenet posts

12:37

heh

12:37

err, bush-II

12:38

did the whole thing become uninteresting, tritely self-referrential ?

12:38

imho not. d00d 'quit while ahead'

12:39

i ain't fucking quitting.

12:39

~nobody ever does

12:40

i would really like a list of "all personal blogs older than a decade" right about now.

↖ ↖

12:40

but, of course, "you can find anything on the internet -- if you put it there yourself."

12:42

https://www.publiustx.net/ << "PubliusTX.net is Houston's longest running personal journal/weblog on politics and culture."

12:42

all fine and good, except the penultimate article is "Happy (belated) 2018! Posted by Kevin on January 6, 2018 So, I kind of missed my annual/placeholder Happy New Year post this time around"

12:42

this is not a fucking blog.

12:45

mircea_popescu: ilkka kokkarinen's ~first~ blog, is ~almost~ old enuff: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-17#1752572 ; and imho notbad

12:45

Logged on 2017-12-17 03:56 asciilifeform: from same thread, http://www.loper-os.org/pub/ilkka.zip << still there, still afaik only copy of his 1st blog in existence on public net

12:46

asciilifeform "first blog" is autodisqualified. what's this, like "hot girl's first body" ? what are we, snakes ?

12:46

"bitcoin scammer's first identity" next.

12:46

it was pantsuit-bulldozed

12:46

but if looking for continuous ones -- i've nuffin

12:46

did he die ?

12:46

in the buldozing i mean

12:47

he was defrocked from his professorship iirc; then sued, won, opened new blog, then some time in 2012 it happened again, but after this vanished. ( see thread )

12:47

!#s ilkka

12:47

48 results for "ilkka", http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=ilkka

12:47

(anyway, remind me of the ocarine dood once i signal i'm done reading mazepath. which may take the year or something)

12:47

aite.

12:47

asciilifeform so how does this check out ? he had no copies of the old one or what.

12:48

some folx have a strange attitude to own writing. i can even better understand the folx who burn their symphonies; but the indifferent -- i have nfi what broke in their heads.

12:49

so if he doesn't care, why would i ?

12:49

no particular reason. but d00d figures prominently in asciilifeform's cabinet of curios -- 'old, sane, technically literate bl0gz'

12:49

there aint many to choose from.

12:50

seems to me a modicum of self respect is nevertheless an absolute requisite for even showing face in a public forum.

12:51

"maybe i don't have much to say ; and maybe what i have to say isn't even that interesting ; but at least i give it my best shot, and i am aware there's nothing else that's me."

12:51

whereas i find VEHEHERY objectionable the usual "oh, what kangaroo court said is what i ~really~ am, that defines me". and so following.

12:51

d00d had a healthy audacity and wrote under his own name etc. but then in the end burned everyffin.

12:51

( never even said , the last time, the reason why. )

12:51

nevermind the "my lawyer advised me not to comment on the pending case" ; rather instead "sorry your honor, that won't look good on my blog"

12:51

first things first.

12:54

in vaguely related news, " <p>Personally, I love personal blogs. I’m a sucker for HuffingtonPost, xoJane, and all those other sites with tons of juicy and interesting content.</p>" sez idiot giving advice on how to be blogful ; his page has js-disabled copy-pasting. which evidently works.

12:54

at any rate asciilifeform is not his literary agent. moar of grave robber. nobody gotta look in the sarcophagus if they dun want.

12:55

asciilifeform yeah, i'm not objecting to the thing itself, just mostly thinking out loud.

12:57

(for the young reader : xojane was some bullshit wanna-be "platform" for imaginary "cimmunities" that got bought by the suckers (time warner) in 2015 and frozen in 2016. because myspace wasn';t enough or something. and huffington post, well, need i even point out, it was exactly the same thing, ran by a nigger somewhat more dextrous still. adriana made out ok from the swindle.)

12:57

let's preserve, actually : https://www.xojane.com/beauty/news/best-xovain-articles

12:58

"Four years ago this month, I found out that Jane Pratt the editor that had made me want to be an editor since I was 12 years old had chosen me to be the beauty director of her new xoJane beauty spinoff, xoVain. OK, so I was actually her second choice her first had fallen through but that was OK. I had previously not even pitched to xoJane because I was so intimidated and sure I'd be rejected, so getting hired

↖

12:58

for a full-time editorial position in any capacity under Jane Pratt, with or without someone else's name crossed off next to mine, felt like an honor."

"marci" totally watched too much that-lesbian-interest-flick-with-the-older-woman-and-shoes, w/e it was called.

trinque: have you seen https://masteringpostgresql.com? it's by dimitri fontaine, who's a major postgresql contrib, but he also wrote pgloader, a proggy for etl into postgresql, which he wrote in common lisp; you get mentions of clos and naggum and such in his book.

13:34

i saw it on a colleagues table, started reading it, and it looks sensible and educational. first time i borrow a book from a coworker :o

13:37

ben_vulpes: mimisbrunnr perhaps needs a list of fellow bots, so that it ignores links from bot quotes. i remember we had conversations about how to handle it long time ago, but i don't remember what the resolution was. a111 maintains a list of all bots, which is just manually updated

13:49

oh, i guess not. a111 dun read its own lines sometimes does it ?

!~later tell douchebag ^ the above logline has some interesting history

20:18

o yeah speaking of which, hey douchebag whatever happened to that tea chick ?

20:19

imagine the waitresses of today. loose hundred dollar bills and trips to costa rica are such a common everyday occurence in their lives, they don't even have to go chasing. let opportunity chase after the broad instead, is it postmodernism or innit?!?!?!

20:19

Seriously

20:20

They again just about everybody in this country is "on vacation" for some definitions of vacation.

20:20

if they all lived in palaces it'd be one thing, but i've seen the louse traps.

20:20

yeah, aerosmith's "permanent vacation". brain checked out.

20:21

Or they have gone to exotic places like paraguay.

20:22

Which may be exotic for people from anywhere but Uru-

20:25

i guess.

20:25

Kinda like going to the Ozarks when you already live in St Louis

20:25

or they despise themselves so much (as the direct and also necessary result of spending all their time involved with absolutely nothing else) that they automatically discount anything that happens to them by like 99.9999999%. because, as the wise timuruc once said, "if you were a millionaire you wouldn't be talking to me"

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~awb/linux.history.html << early history of linux is probably important since we're doing so many start-of-world things. note how it was never intended to be an os, it was intended to be a "a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones" in order to... "it was a project to teach me about the 386".

21:58

considering also "Simply, I'd say that porting is impossible. As already mentioned, it uses a MMU, for both paging (not to disk yet) and segmentation. It's the segmentation that makes it REALLY 386 dependent (every task has a 64Mb segment for code & data - max 64 tasks in 4Gb. Anybody who needs more than 64Mb/task - tough cookies)." i'd say it actually broadly lives up to the original design -- linux is a fine non-professiona

21:58

l approach for one hobbist in finland to lift into his own head the gnarl of 386.

precious little ELSE it does, but then again my screwdriver also doesn't juice oranges.
