Just for laughs, I type "нетфликс.com" (nyetflix.com, but it only works if you type it in using Cyrillic characters) into a web browser, and it's a legit site run by Miramax? Or is someone just wanting it to seem like that?

I have given up trying to get my team of devs to work as a team. I am shaking the dust from my feet, and turning from them in disgust.

I will now code as if I'm the only person on the team, which is what all of them seem to be doing, independently. I give up.

I finally get curious enough to listen to some XXXTentacion on Spotify, and after about three songs, I realize what a loss his death was, musically. Wow. I didn't know at the time.

So, apparently the latest Windows 10 1903 update is an absolute mess, if you've tweaked your Cortana settings at all. (Read: tried to disable Cortana as much as possible.)

Apparently Cortana will just start running in the background, using 30% of your CPU, and won't stop.

I'm using my Ubuntu partition as my main now, because of this. Why do I continue to run Windows? It sure isn't consistency, anymore, since Windows 10 came out. :P

Finally deleted my Instagram account, after letting it lie dormant for half a year. Facebook makes it _really_ hard to delete an Instagram account (their last site that's actually gaining users, I'm sure):

1) You can't delete it from the app
2) There's no UI or link to delete it through the web interface
3) You have to Google "how do I delete an Instagram account", that leads you to a page using an _old_ UI that looks like it's out of the iOS 2.0 web app days: https://instagram.com/accounts/remove/request/permanent/

Seriously -- pay me overtime, and you'd get 55hours a work out of me. Otherwise, I'm just giving you free work.

Literally had a meeting yesterday at $WORK, where I was asked if I was willing to "put in extra hours" towards something. I said, "Yes. Just pay me for it. Otherwise, no."

Really, really, REALLY impressed by DigitalOcean's VM droplets. Wow.

It's like Azure and AWS were designed by businesspeople, and DigitalOcean's droplets were designed by people who actually build VMs.

...posting from a new server.

Test test test. Test test.

Just bought my first thingamajigs on adafruit. Can't wait to start coding blinking lights and little LCD screens.

With the spat of ransomware attacks going on, I thought it was a good time to finally finish that "dropbox"-style backup system for my home server (where backups can be written to it, but not modified or deleted after that point). Works great now.

"WHY are we still talking about whether or not the Earth is flat, and that it's possible to sail off the end of it??!? Come on people, Eratosthenes proved HUNDREDS of years ago that the Earth is round! Educate yourself."
