    Just pulled the trigger on the guts of a new workstation to replace my six year old Ivy Bridge workstation: - Four core Intel i7-3770K @ 3.9Ghz ("overclocked" to turbo always on). - 16Gb of DDR3-1600 RAM @ 21Gb/sec. ... with this instead: - Sixteen core…

    Been making good progress on other todo task like items other than wifi routers :). I've been slowly writing plugins to scrape 's content into a generated website. Scrapy is a great…

    Picked up an old Netgear R6220 2x2 11ac router with nasty cheap Mediatek chipset off eBay for €30 including postage. OpenWRT went onto it surprisingly easy, and now it's a second Wifi AP in my house solving the wifi blackspot in my bedroom, and more…

    Last night I completely replaced the proprietary firmware on the house wifi router (the excellent value 3x3 11ac Archer C7 that just about everybody techie uses for their home wifi) with . Why? The proprietary firmware was actually…

    After three hours carved out to "get it done already", finally got my cheap USB gnuk OpenPGP dongles purchased last August (!) to implement ed25519 on-device crypto for GnuPG and Putty SSH on Windows. That means that (a) I cycled all my encryption keys,…

    ACCU 2019 schedule just went up. My final C++ conference talk for the foreseeable future is linked, after this there will be no more attending conferences for me. It is on Elsewhere Memory, and will be the most speculative concurrence talk I have ever…

    Just finished What Remains of Edith Finch, which was on my bucket list for inter-employment R&R gaming. It's basically a slightly interactive series of short stories, the kind of thing Megan would really love. And yes, even with my thick skin of…

    Back in Ireland from our two weeks away in California. Feeling quite rough from jet lag, it'll take a few days to recover properly. Total cost was almost exactly six grand in euro, which was slightly disappointing given my budget was five grand. I…

    Here is the money shot itself, the view from the Bay Area Discovery Centre, basically a giant under 4's play area. Spent six exhausting hours there today, in the sun at least. Tomorrow will be the Californian Academy of Sciences. ---

    Today headed up the coast back to San Francisco along the world famous Route 1 which is a very scenic drive indeed. Very twisty, poor Henry puked, so had to drive the rest of it with the aircon on max and him screaming with hunger. Yay. Stopped off at…

    Decided yesterday to forego the beach and the coast, and head back up route 42 to Paso Robles, which turned out to be a very wealthy town. Visited a farm and a winery. A very easy day, relatively speaking. Once again nothing but cloudless blue skies, but…

    Some highlight images from today in Yosemite. No more Yosemite for us actually, tomorrow we're in Fresno, day after it snows which will make it very hard to reach the park, so we probably won't try. We may attempt Wawona via Oakhurst, we are planning to…
