@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net I once had a fun day hunting down the phone number for a scraper. Really nice guy, just some script running havoc.
@freemor@freemor.homelinux.net @kas@enotty.dk #twtxt’s quietness is actually something I enjoy about it. I care a lot more about signal-to-noise ratio than I care about the regular activity. It’s also a really fun thing to write clients for to play around with new libraries or languages.
The Uber affair
Using Uber for the first time, in France, was a delightful experience. We were able to summon a relatively cheap minivan within minutes, the drivers were nice, nothing found to complain. Then, once back home, I decided that I might want to occasionally drive for Uber, for fun. That is when the real affair started.
To begin with, the rider photo I had on my profile no longer met their requirements. Then, the driver’s application asked me for information that I did not have handy, making me chang … ⌘ Read more
@trqx@0x1A4.1337.cx write a fun numpop clone https://tx.god.jp/code/cnumpop/files.html. I got 590 points with the seed 1493407649, can anyone beat that? :)
@tx@0x1A4.1337.cx Uhm, cloning all projects i have starred would be fun…
https://github.com/sabotage-linux/sabotage looks fun.
@dave@davebucklin.com Thanks for posting about miniircds. Looks fun.
Ups, i did it again! I just started a new twtxt client in c, just for fun and to relearn a little c. https://github.com/mdom/txtio
@mdom@domgoergen.com mostly for fun, but once I have it working more it’ll get integrated into https://gitlab.com/technomancy/bussard.
Yeah, i don’t care much for the store bought substitues, but making them yourself is always fun.

@pelmel@pelmel.org Nice to see a new user! Have fun!
It would probably be fun to implement a #gopher interface for taz.de. I have to talk to our webmaster about that… :)
Let’s be honest, it seems to be impossible to use twtxt without adding new stuff to the client. So much fun.
They separate the visible from the invisible and run along ideological chasms and schelling fences rather than rivers. Have fun mapping!
fun make-work project: moving from upstart to systemd
Fun with data! The complete roster twtxt database can be downloaded at https://roster.twtxt.org/twtxt_20160405.sql.gz
Along its way, it found much solitude, but also trawlers, sunken cities, the Kraken (fun guy!), more sessile treasures and once, love.
And as luck would have it, #roster provides a websocket stream on ws://roster.twtxt.org/stream. Have fun!
We would have to write a new plugin for that. Which sounds fun… Do you have a have a receiver we can play with?
Change your skin once in a while to appear new and fresh to your friends. Befriending them again is part of the fun.

Glowforge
We all need this. Watch the video and tell me if you do not feel amazed. It is pricey, but oh the fun one could have with one of those!
Glowforge is a wireless 3D laser printer that fits on your desktop, works with your favorite design programs, and stores your designs & data on a cloud.
Big “Thank you” to the #ceehack14 organizers. We had a lot of fun.
Films to watch during Christmas
Christmas is not the same without watching certain films. The ones that are always a must for me are “ National Lampoon’s European Vacation” and “ National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation”. As I type this I am getting ready to watch them both. Those are the ones to laugh to tears and have fun. The other favourite one – … ⌘ Read more
Comment on Popular Icon Theme ‘Moka’ Gets an Official GTK Theme Companion by MC Robust
I thought it was just me… everyone saying GTK2 “looks old.” I used to love finding new and interesting themes…
The new themes look nice. I suppose my desktop is arguably more “sophisticated” looking? More modern looking? I don’t know.
But GTK3 has never felt as “fun” to me. ⌘ Read more
The Brotherhood
Recently I got the PS3 game “ Assassin Creed Brotherhood” for my birthday and it has being very fun. My dad got me the Harlequin code, and playing him is very fun as well. I have already gotten the armor of Brutus, the very best on the game. Needless is to say, I already finished the game, but am still “renovating” things.

Yet another
Yet another long downtime on World of Warcraft, just in the verge of the release of the second major expansion for the game. What a royal mess! You would think Blizzard has it figured out by now, down to a science, but…
I can’t imagine how tomorrow, with the expansion release, will be. Not going to “tune in.” Instead will let others have the “fun.” ⌘ Read more
Kent on elderly and fitness
Having seeing an elder man jogging, Kent asked me why was he running. I told him that he probably wanted to be fit, to keep healthy to which he, in a very surprised voice, replied:
“What’s the fun on being healthy, when you are about to die?!” – kids, they say the ‘darnest’ things. ⌘ Read more
A hell of a week
It has been a hell of a week and continues to be so. KM has been the whole week (and still is!) sick. Sick to a point that kept me home all those days. Kim and I have been very worried and needless is to say that our days hasn’t been fun one’s, to say the least.
To top it off, now we have got Frances, the hurricane that is, about to slam on us. Are we unprepared? Yes. After the week we had had we do not need anything else, honestly. I just hope it will stay category 2 or less… or that it … ⌘ Read more

Living on the bleeding edge
I have made a habit to upgrade WP every morning and evening to the latest CVS. As I type this I am running WP 1.2 Epsylon RC2, two hours –more or less– old. Upgrades are such a breeze that it is actually fun. I find myself looking forward to the next upgrade.
I am not alone on the habit though. Upgrading WP is, certainly, contagious. ⌘ Read more
It has been a ride, UCF
I am leaving the College of Business and, hence, the University of Central Florida. When I started working for UCF almost eight years ago I did not know I was going to stay that long, but most important of all, I did not know it was going to be that much fun. It has certainly been a ride, a good one. I learned a lot in all aspects and for that I am grateful.
I had the opportunity to work with excellent people in a very healthy working environment. Accepting the fact that nothing is … ⌘ Read more
Like a Phoenix
Just like a Phoenix, this is a rebirth from my own ashes. I wanted to change things around here, perhaps change the way I write. Finally, I have decided to come back on a more informal way. Like it was in the beginning, when I decided that blogging could be a fun thing to do.
How informal will it be? Well, as informal as life itself — at least, mine —. I will write things that happen to me, my family, my friends and fellow human beings in general. I will not hold back just because I may think m … ⌘ Read more
It is that time of the year: Halloween
Well, you goblins, witches, bats, ghosts… Frankenstein lovers, here it comes your day, once again. Of course, I do not look at Halloween as such, it is just another day, like the others, with the subtle difference that is the day where kids go around, having fun, asking for sweet little treats, dressed up as the unimaginable.
Considering I never knew what Halloween was until I came to America and, hence, I did not experience the fun that it can bring … ⌘ Read more
