  • The all-singing, all-dancing Chinese Trump opera - Looks interesting I'd like to see some Chinese humour, but I can't play the video because it's flash :(
  • Meet one of Britain's youngest Imams - who uses Islam to combat gang culture - I wish I was more used to arabic script, it's so different to latin based languages that it all just seems like random squiggles to me, a lot of it looks like graffiti which I personally like a lot, but I don't see any words that I know or even any structure, I actually don't even see the word boundaries, I'd like some vague understanding of the writing system so it's less intimidating
  • While updating some SSL issuance workflows a few days ago I discovered that there is a --deploy-hook certbot option, so today I'm implementing some SSL certificate issuance workflows - certbot exposes a RENEWED_LINEAGE env variable when running the script - If you've read the previous film reivew I linked to you'll see why today's word of the day appears to be "lineage" - sort of adds a bit of weight to my outlandish infinite probablity drive hypothesis from Thursday - What on earth gives you the idea that I would start at some point to not want to share my views on this here internet? It's OK it's Sat the 13th today, nothing to worry about
  • Monty Python's Life of Brian review - an unholy work of satirical genius - the 40 year aniversary is Aug 17th (USA) / Nov 8th (UK)
  • Give priority to Julian Assange rape claim, home secretary urged - Yesterday I mistakenly thought based on the video from yesterday that he was sporting full beard no moustache, but it's clear from the latest pictures it's a 2-tone full beard mustache combo - The book and rubber glove are still a mystery
  • Infrastructure for container projects - umbrella project behind LXC, LXD and LXCFS
  • Docker implemented in around 100 lines of bash
  • www.sh - Web framework in Bash
