02 Feb 2022 Lock-down in Canberra 2021 saw me getting very busy in the forge, madly trying to survive with a bit of extra cash to make it through the tough times, as well as home schooling my kids.…

Man, gotta say I was _so_ happy to read this little update. I was already afraid that the Covid got you or sth. Has been a while since I could marvel at your Viper 🤓

You’re one heck of an inspiration to me @Baz 🙏

With 6.0 one of our web checks started failing with `regexp_exec() failed with error -8` when looking for a required string. This basically means “maximum recursion exceeded” (so something went into a loop). Turns out the site in question had a duplicated `</head>` tag which makes the HTML invalid.

So apparently something changed with the RegEx check and valid HTML is now required as well 🧐

Today I got called out on the internet for wearing a mask because I go as Beko _Pharm_ 😷.

I laughed hard, shared this insight with my peer group and watched their amused responses trickle in. Now that I’m found out I can probably tell you all.

Here writes the Big “beko” Pharm (or the B.B.P. – someone add me to Wikipedia already!). And what my Murican friends probably don’t know: “beko” is not only a [legit] name with all sorts of fun meanings (according to the interwebz) but also the brand of an electronics company mostly known for their washing machines. Imagine how happy I was about that when I found out!

Anyway, @RobinSohn@chaos.social seized the opportunity and created a highly professional new profile picture for me – generously released as CC-0 – a photo featuring a washing machine and an ampulla typically used for medicine.

And I love every bit of it – especially the “ProSmartInverter” 🧠

So there you have it. Buy masks and washing machines. For every sale on one of those items I get 0 dot 00 and zero 💵

Make me rich! 🤑

Random trivia: I added the “Pharm” to not be mistaken with e.g. said electronics company – how the hell was I supposed to know that a pandemic would be next on the agenda???

Your Website is Useless (kiriska.com)
Most artist websites are bad. They either fail at their purpose, don’t have a purpose, or their only purpose is to point visitors to more active social media. It is impossible to follow or keep up many artists’ work if you don’t want to look at Twitter or Instagram (nevermind that there’s al...

Heh, “nobody does this any more” is far fetched but yes, basically this.

Oj Western tech bros, remember when we complained about outsourcing? Well, we came full circle. Got contacted for a job opportunity from an Eastern Systems House.
