Steamboat captain. Podcaster at 5by5.tv. Founder of fireside.fm. Bristly yet lovable tech-curmudgeon. RT @aspaas: @chrisboredom @danbenjamin Also, dude, "pod" is not the preferred nomenclature. "Podcast" please. When I encounter the phrase “side hustle” in an article or podcast, I immediately close the browser/delete the podcast, never to return.
Across this line, you do not. The Fifth Element's music composer intended for the diva's opera song to be technically impossible for a human to sing (hitting the high notes so quickly after another), so the diva's voice was arranged digitally in post production.
Until now ...

BBQ is a noun, not a verb, and it means "meat that has been slow cooked with lots of smoke".
What you are likely about to do (cooking food on a grill) is called "grilling" or "cooking out".
#TexasForever I have never seen a “skit” on Instagram (or Vine) that I thought was funny. You should checkout cloudflare. What I miss is the look and feel of #fvwm. What I do not miss is the lack of modern sensibilities. Anything out there that has modern conventions (dock, icons, file management, etc.) with the look of fvwm/mwm?

patreon.com/posts/27098387 Only 1 Mac mini remains, lucky #7, a Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz with 4 GB RAM and a 320 GB drive (and SuperDrive) for $125.

1. Chernobyl There are still a few Mac mini's left (those not marked as Sold). I'll be announcing the URL tomorrow on @b2wshow so if you're interested, now's the time.
danbenjamin.com/forsale/ The @rodemics Podmic looks really nice. Alas I won't be able to review one for you on my new podcaster's YouTube channel, because Rode has deemed me unworthy.
Meantime, here's the website for the Podmic:
rode.com/podmic About 20 years ago I started a company building FreeBSD servers and workstations. We did a modest income, and eventually became a BeOS workstation VAR. The Mac minis are selling faster than I expected. Two sold, several waiting to hear back. Still a handful left.

Anyone know how you're supposed to download an older copy of Mac OS X? @apple's own instructions do not work (at least not on Mojave).
support.apple.com/en-us/HT206886 Last night I showed my daughter a “Miss Booksy” video on YouTube and ugh this morning’s recommendations 😞 I’m still searching for a small #linux notebook. Any recommendations?
So far, suggestions have been “Get a $2k laptop from Dell/HP”, “just get a Chromebook”, and “just use Windows Subsystem for Linux” however I think y’all can do better. .. yet BSD is what provided the foundation for Apple's move to Intel and macOS, and really iOS and tvOS.
Are more people are using BSD than Linux ... without realizing it? I started using Linux w/Slackware in '93 while deploying FreeBSD servers for my hosting company the same year. Linux felt like shaky beta software while FreeBSD was stable, reliable, solid.
Now, everything is linux and I never hear about *BSD. Hello Friends! Who is building on Ruby and/or Elixir at work in Austin? Thanks! Well, @firesidefm is all Rails and some Sinatra. |
