He also owns the .org, .net, and .info domains, plus @StopElonMusk and its gmail account. He's not looking for major profit - just wants to make a reasonable deal.

He'd like to remain anonymous.

My friend has owned https://t.co/UksuhKXBdL for years. He's looking to sell it - he says it's no fun anymore. Consider this tweet an open auction for it. You have 5 days before it expires.

We're back in stock of Snark Barker PCBs - now in blue!

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all computers were a mistake, that they are endowed by their Creators with certain unalienable Flaws, that among these are Bad Capacitors, Flawed Firmware and Stuck Actuators.

Looking back at freenode IRC logs from 2004. Found this gem:

<someone:#dragonflybsd> freenode kind of reminds me of Animal Farm.

Got my @MouserElec
delivery this AM, promptly, but the count of parts in a bag was 1 short. Called customer service, and they said "Put it in writing, and send us a picture if possible." So I did this.

(Also, how do you take a picture of the absence of a component?)

So excited to have had Lisa from @CronkshawFold join our team weekly this week at @Neighbourh00die with @janl and the entire team. So much fun - can't recommend it highly enough. (Oops, forgot to get a screenshot, was enjoying it too much.)

[Apache CouchDB (@[email protected]) @CouchDB]

The Apache @CouchDB team is happy to announce the immediate availability of CouchDB 3.0. This is a major milestone in the history of the project. We thank all contributors for their help in making this happen. Read all about it: https://t.co/QYDFJ85cdf 🥳🎉🛋💯❤️

@evil_bun_bun Need something that ships with the OS.

[Joan Touzet @wohali]

It's 2020, and I'm looking at an awk script to parse an .ini file because macOS stopped shipping Python by default. Wheeee!

[Joan Touzet @wohali]

@Dianora_1 I have an X1E (first generation) and it ran FreeBSD...OK. Because of work needs I had to move to Linux on it, but I'd go back to FreeBSD. Main complaint: thermal issues forcing the fan to run often. It's kinda loud.

[Joan Touzet @wohali]

@whitequark FYI there are different licenses you can buy if you don't meet those requirements.

They're *quite* a bit more expensive.

EDA Sucks.

[Joan Touzet @wohali]

OK, the Twitter cleanup is now complete. Down from >20k tweets to just 105. I don't monitor Twitter actively any more. If you need to get a hold of me, try email.

[Joan Touzet @wohali]

@danielFoxp2 If you're looking for paid CouchDB support, you should contact Neighbourhoodie Software, with whom I contract for this kind of work - and who have others who know CouchDB exceedingly well. https://t.co/LYm3KaCIJF is the website. Pricing for development support is posted.

[Joan Touzet @wohali]

I'm going to be cleaning up my Twitter account shortly, which requires *re-liking* then unliking lots of old posts. Sorry for the notification stream this will result in.

More details: https://t.co/wWkIbMt5Qb

@danielFoxp2 Hi Daniel, sorry, I don't use Twitter actively anymore.

You should use the CouchDB users mailing list for help, not me personally. You can find info about subscribing to and using the list at the main CouchDB website.

Good luck with your application!

@thought_spiral #TestShow126 Got a movie for you for homework, if you ever go back to it: Death To Smoochy. DeVito directed, Robin Williams, Ed Norton, Catherine Keener, Jon Stewart, Harvey Fierstein, Vincent Schiavelli, dark comedy...what's not to love?

[Joan Touzet @wohali]

@zbandic @IBM Sure, but should I have received it as an end-user buying a copy of OS/2? Probably not... :)

[Joan Touzet @wohali]

Just scanned this amazing relic from IBM docs from the 1990s. Go on, read it. It's only 2 pages long.
