Occasional text by Ian Macleod, often lacking context. November 8th, 2012. Sometimes you can’t quite make out what the vocalist is saying. Maybe you really want to know. You love the song, but after multiple listens you can’t get it right. So you Google it. Congratulations, the internet gets to troll you. And it’s: Skipped through to the end to see if you got help from someone there up on high /. May have heard the beacon’s faint cry. Not: Skipped through to the end and you’ve got help from someone else /.

Occasional text by Ian Macleod, often lacking context. Outdated Software and Support. September 27th, 2012. I run outdated software on my home computer. I know it to be outdated (OS X 10.5). I have an old computer (going on 5 years) and though I could probably run the next two iterations of the OS, I just haven’t bothered. Yesterday, a problem came up in my browser and it got me off my duff to fix the problem. Posted by Ian Macleod. Comments Off on Outdated Software and Support. I am getting old.

Occasional text by Ian Macleod, often lacking context. The Year of Long Books. December 27th, 2012. I don’t think I’ll declare 2012 a banner year in my particular life. Many things that I had intended to do with the year went undone, many of the goals I set for the year went unmet. But there were positive things in it, and a bit of a reversal of one of my long held opinions. I read a lot of long books this year. Because sometimes, even I have to admit, they are worth it. So, why have I changed my mind?

Occasional text by Ian Macleod, often lacking context. March 1st, 2013. I do not claim to be one of the great experts in password security. I know a thing or two about stupid passwords, as I had to reset people’s passwords occasionally when I worked for an ISP. Everyone wants a stupid password. That’s old news. Why it emails you confirmation of the password change with your new password in a fresh and equally unencrypted email. Which I think somewhat misses the point. Posted by Ian Macleod. June 1st, 2009.

How I Roll – Shea Craig
http://labs.da.org/wordpress/sheagcraig/2015/06/25/how-i-roll
Technology, coffee, python, silliness. June 25, 2015. I use a mouse or trackpad all day. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate those devices. But I don’t like repetitive click-click-click workflows, of any kind. Especially in a webpage that has to refresh. Too error prone, too mind-numbing! First I grabbed all of the computers from the lab we sold:. Ms503 = [j.Computer(computer.id) for computer in j.Computer() if computer.name.upper().startswith("MS503")]. Old ms503 = [computer for computer in ms503 if co...

Occasional text by Ian Macleod, often lacking context. Large Portions of My Life Are Spent in the Shadow of Cultural Artifacts I Dislike. January 5th, 2012. In my youth, Highlander was popular. Not world beating everyone knows all about it popular, but popular. Several movies were made. There were, I believe, two television series. From around seventh grade on, people would ask me if my name was like the Highlander’s. Posted by Ian Macleod. January 5th, 2012 at 8:27 am. You gotta move to DC so you can sh...
