OCRing 1429 documents. Thank goodness for loops in BASH. This will probably be an all-day thing...

Change the U vowel sound in UNIX to be more like the U in undo. Then, you can un-ix things. And perhaps re-ix them? And de-ix them? And etc.? (Sorry, probably a bad joke.)

MPEG-LA giving someone "the shakedown." Interesting that they don't go after the Broadway.js project itself. They probably need such projects (including e.g. x264) to remain active so that they can then give those using it the patent shakedown. Seems very messed up. All the more reason to use codecs that don't have this problem.

I have seen reasoning in places that it's the binary or possibly even just running it that is infringing the patent, and that source redistribution is a-ok. Several projects don't distribute binaries and recommend users or binary distributors to get their own patent license.

It is not like there was no warning. For a while Mozilla didn't support H264 on the web, just for that reason.

Hurt my left index finger. It's wrapped up and not supposed to use it. As a left-handed person I'm realizing just how much I use that finger and how hard it is not to.

A fellow lefty!

And it makes typing hard.

When I go to the rooftop deck of my apartment building this sign is on a gate to a fenced off area with a cell site inside. Doesn't inspire comfort for being on the rooftop deck.

Nice to see CC BY-SA license enforcement over the inclusion of some CC BY-SA stuff result in the entire music video being freed. (Originally had no attribution or license info. The description now says "Notwithstanding any of the foregoing license information, we grant you permission to copy, modify, distribute and/or adapt this work under the CC BY SA 4.0 license...") Copyleft in action! :)

I've used letsencrypt for two domain and two subdomains recently. it was very easy to get set up.

Yeah, that's the nicest part for me. The renewals. I can just put it on a cronjob and forget about it.

I heard from a developer the other day on our chosen video player not working in the iOS browser: "Yeah, Apple want to protect the user from someone playing video on page load."

Woah, easy there with the cool-aid, friend.

(the solution is to use the native player when you discover you're in a browser that is a jail)

Claes Wallin (韋嘉誠) at 2016-03-19T21:25:07Z

Wow! That's not really fair/just in their end. Keeping people under their unjust/unfair power... I would really ask these project owners/directors to start learning everything again, and also would ask then to redo the philosophy and ethics class that they probably dismissed during college days. Otherwise, why do they have this class if they don't give it the proper importance?

I do recognize that not everyone has to know everything, and that humans make mistakes. But there's a difference between someone who makes mistakes and, upon finding these mistakes, work to correct them; and some other people that also make mistake but don't give it the proper treatment.

In doing online check in for my flight to Boston for LibrePlanet I found the airline had quietly moved me from an aisle seat to middle seat. Who wants the middle seat? Fortunately there were still two aisle seats left and I moved myself back. Ahhh...
