that is my understanding of the law, yes.

A floppy disk with a sticker proclaiming it to be disk two of six for the office productivity suite “After Work”, in a 1990s software font like it’s Photoshop 3.0 or Word 6.

At a video game show last year, I demoed my 1990s-office-themed video game After Work with floppy disk handouts instead of cards. They all said “Disk 2 of 6” on them and 100% of the Gen Xs that took one groaned and made a pained face as it triggered something deep inside.

odds are good it was down the back of the plane too.

Tech startup idea: instead of starting your car with your key, you get in, turn on the display panel, enter your password, get your phone out, open the authenticator app, enter your pin, enter the timed passcode, then open the start menu, then helpdesk, then "request engine start", then submit a tic

speaking of scotch, did you ever manage to find any Clynelish after I introduced you to the distillery back in Covid times though a scotch themed joke around antigen tests line markers ?

Either called out of second retirement to deal with the remnants of the bbgs from the first movie, or found in a monastery in the wilds of Nepal seeking atonement for a life of etc etc, and is convinced he can gain redemption by taking one last job and blowing everyone and everything up.

Don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but I don’t believe for a second that beavers built this out of vacuum cleaners

noone show @kels316.bsky.social this, ok? everyone agree?

he's only a few steps away from ordering a prosthetic limb and messaging some mates to come over with a case of beer

We had some decent feeds at The Strathmore on North Terrace recently.

They even had one for everyone's favorite IPA intern Barclay McGain back in 2023

@hacks4pancakes.com if a tech conference was interested in having you possibly give a session/talk about a variety of dumpster fires, what's the best way way of them getting in contact? Should they just send a request to the press@ address, or is there a better one?

Lesley Carhart Welcome to my scheduling page. Please follow the instructions to add an event to my calendar.

My mentoring page is back up. Please be kind. I'm not allowed to accept tips anymore, and that was about the only thing reducing no-shows for me. calendly.com/lesleycarhart

just wait until you experience a state or federal election. The ability to partake in the ceremonial consumption of a Democracy Sausage without actually voting is reason enough to stay. And then you'll find the stall with the Lamington's.....

they're shifting to AGILE, and anything that involves paying out funds will be moved from the current disaster related sprint into BACKLOG. BTW I need your tshirt size for the SCRUM ticket.

there's a local 'southern fry' chicken place here that uses a similar method. When a compressor exploded in a kebab shop a block away from one of their stores, and pretty much leveled the strip of shops it was in, the local police put out a statement to say it was not the chicken shop that exploded.

I had within 365, but it had to include an investigation or imprisonment (TBF, there was a $600 bottle of whisk(e)y on the line). I get a feeling someone is going to want to renegotiate the conditions shortly.

I can see this bet I made with someone in early Feb is going to come down to semantics

blink twice if you are under duress.

I got a friend request and a DM from a similar account. profile uses your bluesky profile pic and includes a linktree with this account on it. No common servers with them. My DM's should be open if you need more info.

I sadly can't get to CSides, but as a native Canberran, let me know if you are around before or after, I'd love to buy you a whisk(e)y.
