Three new beers from the generally reliable Our Brewery of Randalstown showed up locally recently. This producer has a pleasing tendency towards style variations, so I was a little disappointed to find that all three were pale ales. Still, at last they're different kinds of pale ale, and that's often the best we can...
Here are two fairly standard scans from August 1962; not particularly exciting, but nice enough that they could have appeared in a publication of some kind. They didn't, but they could have!A lonely Streetcar driver wonders why nobody loves him. "I'm polite, I bathe once a week, and I sing Johnny Mathis songs to my...
Back in 2017 I discovered the German-Czech author, Johannes Urzidil, when a collection of his short Bohemian fables was published by Pushkin Press. I thoroughly enjoyed these stories, so when the Prague-based indie publisher, Twisted Spoon, kindly offered a copy of a new release by Urzidil, I was delighted to be...
In the previous article we followed a read() all the way down through the VFS: from the syscall, to the struct file, to ext4, and into the page cache. And there was exactly one moment where we skipped over the details. When the page cache missed â the bytes werenât in memory yet â the filesystem had to actually go...
Just like last time, Get Bass 2 begins every bass-getting session with a sincere âEnjoy your fishing!â. Yet very much unlike last time, the expected post-voice clip pleasure doesnât come so quickly or easily. Where did the enthusiastic guitar music and excitable commentator go? Where are my Sega-blue skies and bat...
I have a copy of SICP, or as it is also known, The Wizard Book. This book is widely praised, but I canât take the time to work my way through all of it. Instead, Iâm going to occasionally jump into the parts of it that look interesting. In the previous two installations of this series, we looked at ways of...
One day, while working with your favorite agent harness XYZ on some powerpoint presentation, suddenly a popup will appear. It will say something like âXYZ blocked from installing background task. Grant permissions YES/NOâ. You will not have time to think too long about this (your presentation has to be ready at...
...in 70mm IMAX! I kind of regret it. I saw it at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood - like, real downtown Hollywood, the part of Hollywood with the stars on the sidewalk and the smelly guys in Spiderman outfits. The picture in the theater was massive but the audio in that theater is pretty crazy, and the movie is...
Last year I wrote a little roleplaying game. Itâs about being a troubadour, singing a song about noble nights. Only, the knights are frogs. Everything is pond-scale. The playtests have been very silly, very fun, and more moving than they have any right to be. Iâm going to publish a version of it on Twitch soon. Iâve...
Third weekend in July, I was over in England for a Significant Anniversary. International travel can be a schlep, and I wasn't inclined to lease an executive chopper and land on my friend's lawn in time for cake and then zoom off to my next appointment. And that's how I came to spend 4 nights with The Boy and his...
