  • Well my day, week, and year (which has been off to a slightly ropey start) got a whole heap better today when I received a postcard from August (@august@chaos.social) & Sappho (@kruemmelspalter@chaos.social), sent from 39c3 on a CCC postcard... with a CCC stamp (thanks, Deutsche Post)!

    Full image of Both sides of a postcard. The reverse shows a red-on-black illustration of the shape of a computer keyboard, superimposed upon the outline of a star, alongside, white text reading 'Chaos Computer Club'. On the front is the message: 'My girlfriend and I really love your blog, so when we saw that you accept postcards, we knew we had to send you one from this year's Chaos Communication Congress - 39c3! You're awesome, please keep doing what you're doing! August & Sappho @august@chaos.social (Mastodon) kruemmelspalter.org (Website)'.

    Stuck in a Lift

    About twenty years ago, I spent three hours playing I-Spy in a broken-down elevator. And in doing so, I learned two things about my friend Fiona.

    Notes from #musetech18 presentations (with a strong "collaboration" theme). Note that these are "live notes" first-and-foremost for my own use and so are probably full of typos. Sorry.
