Someone once tried to steal the live generator. The discharge turned him into a horse-sized teratoma. Imagine finding that in the morning.

Why did my address change? Well, I wasn’t going to move but then the landlord fixed the old generator in the basement and my house ran away.

As a general rule, don’t date anything with non-negligible surface gravity.

But how do i generate my public key from my private? And shouldn’t iI be worried that my private key can be seen with ps? Still confused.

@kas@enotty.dk That’s what i’m using. But shouldn’t i be able to generate keys to communicate with other users? How could i encrypt a message for you?

@kas@enotty.dk, @kdave@kdave.github.io I don’t get it. How do i generate keys for #saltpack? Do i need #keybase to use it?

bot idea: crop circle generator↵bonus if the circles can encode ~140 bytes (yes, that won’t fit some unicode tweets)

American parenting is killing marriage
This article sounds very true, although I would not go as far as generalizing it for all Americans.

Mothers must devote themselves to their children above anyone or anything else, but many wives would be offended if their husbands said, “You’re pretty great, but my love for you will never hold a candle to the love I have for John Junior.”

Mothers are also hol … ⌘ Read more

Dumping dollars left and right

“DOD charged the American taxpayer $43 million for what is likely the world’s most expensive gas station.”

That’s what Special Inspector General John F. Sopko found when he looked at the construction of a natural gas station in Sheberghan, Afghanistan.

According to the report, at most that station should have cost about $500,000. But in this case, the Department of Defense’s Task Force for … ⌘ Read more

Jekyll and Git
I have been using Jekyll for a while now, but all this time I have been generating it on the server, That is, I had had a directory on the server holding the Jekyll files, in which I would run jekyll build to generate the website. Not too streamlined.

Before hosting this weblog on Vultr, I had it on GitHub, and their Pages would do the publishing for … ⌘ Read more

How to beat a polygraph test
“He used to advise trainees to clench their anus but has since concluded that terrifying mental imagery works better.”

When you get a control question, which is more general, envision the scariest thing you can in order to trigger physiological distress; the polygraph’s tubes around your chest measure breathing, the arm cuff monitors heart rate and electrodes attached to you fingertips detect perspiration. What is your greatest fear? Falling? Drowning? Being buri … ⌘ Read more

It is all around us
Love. It really is.

“Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion’s starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don’t see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it’s not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it’s always there — fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends.

Hello world, or hello again!
This is the first post. It seems I have started writing occasionally again. I still conserve the old posts, from the previous weblog. Not sure many of them were worth of keeping, but I might browse through them and pick one or two to bring back here.

This time I will keep this simple. Well, as simple as a person with slight OCD can keep it. I promise, I think. This little site is generated by [Jekyll](http://jekyllrb.c … ⌘ Read more

These are some of the general bookmarklets I use. I have them synchronized with Chrome and Google Docs, but I am listing them here in case I want to share them with someone else, like you (yes, you there, reading this now). Here there go:

Overturning the unconstitutional
Overturning nightmares

As president, he said he would ask his attorney general “to review every executive order” of the Bush administration. “We are going to overturn those that were unconstitutional. We are going to overturn those that are unnecessary.”

I don’t think it is a slogan, I don’t think they are empty words. Yes, we can! ⌘ Read more

Write Articles, Not Blog Postings
Write Articles, Not Blog Postings – Jakob Nielsens Alertbox

Boy, do I agree with Nielsen on this one. I have been guilty of many of the things he points out. That is why I am scribbling less lately. And it will be much less in the future. Totally dislike the “tumbler” generation. Junk. ⌘ Read more

Thought of the day
If your weblog or site –in general– advertising is slowing down the load of pages to an almost complete halt, it is time to re-think and take a different marketing approach. Your writings and your advertising are been missing. You may as well cancel your hosting and print what you want to say, along with the advertisings. ⌘ Read more

We, the forgetful
I am often intrigued, saddened, worried, by the human “natural” forgetful nature. Since the beginning of time, we haven’t kept memories of lost, gone ones. Did any of you remember –or even knew of– your great-grandparents? How many generations do you have knowledge of? When you are gone, how many years will you be remembered? Why do we forget? Why? What can we do to change that? Going through a life of accomplishments –or lack of, it doesn’t matter– and ending up in the void. Isn’ … ⌘ Read more

Taking a break
For the very first time I feel like taking a complete break from the weblogging world. I have gone away in the past, but it was never as permanent as I said it would be. Today, for once, I feel I can really do it. That is, break away for a longer time than the previous. Reasons? Just tired, just need more time with my growing kid and family in general.

Whatever reason is, I am taking a break. Will I be gone long? Will I come back tomorrow? Hard to tell. I am not that interesting of a read to start … ⌘ Read more

Visitor cleaning
I find it interesting that we –and I know I am generalizing here, so correct me if I am wrong– worry about organizing and cleaning the house especially when we are expecting a visit. I know that we want to give the visitor the best impression possible, but aren’t we “lying” by doing so, just because someone is coming? Who are we kidding? I mean, if we were that clean and organized we didn’t have the need to do the “visitor cleaning” to start with, right?

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
