Hah. Today I got two emails, in this sequence:

  1. Roku saying they looked at my resume for a test automation engineer and turned me down
  2. LinkedIn telling me that Roku is recruiting for test automation engineers in my area!
ComradeGibbon ,

@foone
Hot employers looking for test engineers in your area!

You're never gonna believe this, but it turns out I'm gonna need to build a new keyboard

ComradeGibbon ,

@foone I want a chair mouse. Move the cursor by shifting my butt.

Bad idea: a CPU that only executes cryptographically signed memory pages.

ComradeGibbon ,

@foone I saw a paper 40 years ago discussing an ALU design that could do the usual operations on words with error correction codes producing a result also with error correction codes.

That seems close to what you are suggesting.

Here's something cool I never realized existed:

PCBs distributed through magazines!

From Radio Electronics (June 1987):

ComradeGibbon ,

@foone Company I worked for in the 80's the draftsman laid out PCB''s at 4X scale using tape and stickers on acetate film.

Also old etching process you hope it only etches the exposed copper. I swear that's why early PCB's had snaky traces instead of sharp corners.

Is anyone planning a Berlin Airlift situation to drop vitally needed hormones and antiandrogens into occupied England?

ComradeGibbon ,

@foone I think a drone can cross the channel.

Nothing says authoritarian bastards like picking on people with oddball sexuality.

I just tried to order a pizza and it wanted my credit card expiration date, so I entered "05/28" (example date only)

it then came back with a "your card is expired" error. Uh, no it isn't? that date is still several years in the future.

did... did this site just take my date and assume I mean May of the year AD 28? That is indeed very expired! that's what I get for trying to use Jesus's card.

ComradeGibbon ,

@foone is there an Emacs plug in that allows you to order pizza?
