Drinking and vfx in San Francisco

[Ciaran @skitten]

@Luigerstaff @British_Airways I guess I go back to the terminal in the morning and find a line to wait in. Weather delays I understand but that the manager just shutdown the customer service desk and walked away…

@sigfpe I trust you aren't trying to grow any veggies

@dethpsun I've only done it from LA to Oakland but it rocks. Just claim a seat in the observation car early. Bring drinks and snacks as the cafe will close randomly.

Also plan to arrive at your destination many hours late.

@srunnels @mdavidallen I forget if it was slackware or debian, but downloading to 3.5" floppies on the uni network yes. And fuck did I hate XF86Config.

I also learned that rdist is amazing. Broadcast install to multiple machines over 10Mb ethernet.

@srunnels I was going to reply to this but I deleted it.

@alcademics Safeway own-label gin claims to be distilled in SF - any idea by who?

Not bad for $16

@PlanetTimmy And so is Billy Giiiiiiillllees!

[Ciaran @skitten]

@sigfpe Me too, although it's also the graph of flight prices I'm watching. Can get to Scotland for about $550 in April/May

@PlanetTimmy And so is Michael Fish!

@phacktweets And have everyone else poach your employees by offering good tacos?

@andrewrjw "Creator" I don't really have a problem with. But "content" is a stand-in; if we valued it we'd have a word for it. And if it's not valued the effort doesn't really matter.

@estellatse These are so exclusive they aren't even on the blockchain

[Ciaran @skitten]

@lindsey @sigfpe Yeah the irony is that much of what they returned to me is going to end up in the trash anyway.

Also old VR headsets with conspicuous Google asset tag stickers on them and a bunch of engineering sample pixel phones.

@sigfpe @lindsey HP-32S I'd had since high school, older than some people I work with. Bummed about that, but probably a lost cause at this point.

I have others (including a 12C) but that was my favourite.

[Ciaran @skitten]

@estellatse Look what I found, finally recovering things from the office

[Ciaran @skitten]

@hughmacd Isn't Houdini the same age as Shake? And still going strong.

I did love Shake though

@DaniBittman @thephysicsgirl @veritasium I've always wanted something that is Architecture School without having to go to Architecture School. I've met multiple people in the 3D world who have a great grasp of design (and a broad base of knowledge) and it turns out they trained as architects.
