I had an Amazon package stolen this week while I was away. I feel bad though, as I had only purchased a toilet brush. I can only imagine how disappointed the crook was.

I'm fascinated by bizarre bug stories.

This one (retold by my ex-Linden-Lab-colleague Mark Ferlatte) happened in the mid-2000s.

The chain of decisions that made this possible could make a book-sized history of computing.

But if you only take one lesson: please, validate your inputs.

I just decided that when I post a post to my Mastodon instance, I'm tweeting. Literally no one can stop me from that being true. Everything on computers is made-up bullshit so who even cares

NEVERMIND I CAN MAKE MASTODON LOOK LIKE BULLSHIT IT'S GOOD ACTUALLY

@aaronpk yes, you will get >$25 of enjoyment out of this

@aaronpk i've never not regretted a joke domain register

I'm returning to reading RSS (newsblur) and one of the weird fucking feeds I subscribed to ten years ago is "show me all new Flickr photos geolocated in my tiny town" and it's remarkably random and weird and I would suggest everyone else follow suit if you don't live in a big city.

@aaronpk Only if you could secure a massively over inflated investment for everyone that implements their own "unique" take on the blogchain and can issue an IBCO (Initial Blog Coin Offering)!
