Oje, es sieht so aus als hätte meine Waschmaschine mein Brillenputztuch aufgegessen...mampf, mampf, mampf... einfach weg!😭
...die hat wohl das Halloween-Motto zu wörtlich genommen. 🎃
In diesem Sinne - Happy #Halloween! 👻

You know about hobo signs? The pictographs that itinerant workers would mark on trees or fences to inform each other about the reception they could expect from locals? (pre-internet yelp, if you will). Signs included “kind lady lives here” and “man with gun lives here”.
TIL that the “kind lady” sign was a stick-drawing of a cat. This got me thinking.
I scrobbled through the history buffer on my driveway camera. Just as i thought, here is my cat scratching a mark on the gatepost. Later, and again here and there are other cats inspecting the mark. No wonder so many lost kittens turn up on my son’s windowsill.

Je viens de balancer 20 secondes de silence à l'IA de reconnaissance vocale Whisper (le modèle 79 Mo fourni avec Futo Keyboard).
Elle me sort le texte "Thank you for watching."

Visible from where I'm presently sitting (the only art Randall has parted with)
@pluralistic @codinghorror @joncruz @jorgecandeias I actually dressed up this way for Halloween that year and tied a helium balloon to my belt as part of the costume. When I arrived at the party, dozens of people looked at me in confusion and then one guy at the back of the room shouted, "Hah! You're Cory Doctorow!" We became the best of friends instantly. #TrueStory
Client: The server is down! What happened?
Me: types furiously "Just a minor kernel panic. Don't worry, I'm fscking it back to life. Hold on..
