The indieweb is about controlling your identity. But it’s also be a great way to claw back all that content I’ve been scattering across the web so I can get better at archiving! #indieweb #personalarchiving #ownyourdata -

Aug 25, 2021, 9:17 PM -04:00 Git is Terrible
If I say that my professional life has spanned RCS, CVS, Mercurial and Git, this tell you something (depressing) about my age.
Like everyone else, I'm now a git user, but I still say that Mercurial was the most elegant of the bunch, at least in terms of its emmiently predictable and well-designed CLI, even if the software itself gave up the ghost years ago.
Back in the day, when version control systems were still duking it out, I used to try and defend Mercurial to rabid git fans, mostly to no avail. I always felt that I was at a bit of a disadvantage in those conversation (cue the git fans yelling "Yeah, cuz mercurial SUCKS!"), because I was always willing to concede, despite appreciating Mercurial's virtues, that git actually did have its strengths as well as its weaknesses, while the git fans were rarely so magnanimous with any other VCS.

Aug 10, 2021, 5:53 PM -04:00 Drambuie has a bad reputation, but for what it is worth it's pretty good in a sour - 2 parts Drambuie, 1 part lemon juice, shaken over ice and strained. This is from a guy who actually likes Rusty Nails.

Aug 8, 2021, 7:57 PM -04:00 I find the Spanish tendency to drop the subject of a sentence when it's implied by the format of the verb to be both jarring and admirably efficient
