Decided to break out the Orange Jumpsuit for Cyberdelia at the DNA Lounge. Crowd participation made the film Hackers 10x better and yes, rollerblades were in use. #hacktheplanet

The "Internet Gopher and Adversarial Interoperability" EFF Deeplink Blog post is now on Cory Doctorow's most excellent Podcast.

I miss the local ILEC ISPs. They really got so many people online while remaining true to their communities.
Glad that Gopher got the job done for you!
In 1991 a GB was ~$7k
Still amazed that we could pay for all that expensive hardware and had such lousy salaries.. At $30k/year 1 disk would be .3 SWE/y

Clarinet archiving looks to be taking up about 100K blocks (~50 Meg) a month, and if this is the case, we're going to want to get another disk for it, ideally 600+ Megabytes.
Bob forgot to mention that he maintained paperboy.micro.umn.edu, a Mac IIfx running INN for a good long while. That enabled Clarinet UPI news.
Having full text searches in 1992 blew people's minds. Plus you could bookmark a search, which was another game changer!

Sad to hear about the death of Larry Tesler.
“Every application has an inherent amount of irreducible complexity. The only question is: Who will have to deal with it—the user, the application developer, or the platform developer?”

Uhhh. Google Forms as critical election infrastructure?

A must read. Too many quotes to pull, but I was glad to see Conceptual Integrity and Behavior instead of Features included.

What if the Agile software movement was the manifestation of an entire industry that was, just, like, dealing with some stuff right now?

@vonneudeck @haekelschwein Thank you! Being mistaken for a @c_lindner is okay. Where else would I see this:

Maybe someone can give me a German language joke I can use to respond to mistaken identity? Maybe a Stilblüten ????

I just wish I got mistaken for @patricklindner instead. Volksmusik is better than Neoliberal Politics!
Everything I know about German Politics comes from mistaken rage mentions for @c_lindner
Sadly it appears that the centrists once again prefer fascists to leftists. Also see "The Iron Law of Institutions"

@TheCurrent @twinkiejiggles Would love to hear Mr. Blue Sky by ELO. The perfect sunshiney song. It's from Paul in Oakland remembering Julie tonight.
She originally requested it July 26, 2014 from @thewombatt

Thank you @BillDeVille for the heartfelt dedication of my request this morning on United States of #Americana on @TheCurrent
And thank you to Frank Randall of the Sycamores for this song and his kindness.

@zshapiro @StarTribune @sfchronicle @PB_News Thanks Zack, many good memories of our time together at hi5.
Also that job meant we could afford a house in Oakland, which make Julie very, very happy.
@mkruz @jflindner Thank you, I was very fortunate to have someone that helped me find the beauty that exists in people and everyday objects.
@alexhanna @metavivor @BCAction Thank you, it's hard to express how much good she brought me and the people around her.
@metavivor @BCAction Check out Julie’s follow list if you want to get some of her style in your feed, including Dog, Design, Lit, or Minnesota Music Twitter.
https://t.co/8F40IeVzze
Thank you for bearing witness to Julie’s life, for the condolences and for honoring @jflindner's memory.
Paul & Gus. https://t.co/NKbYwc3CeZ
Instead of flowers Julie would want you to support your local live music or arts venue and the artists they serve. Donations should go to your local animal rescue group or metastatic breast cancer organizations like @METAvivor and @BCaction.
Julie is survived by her husband Paul, her parents Al and Yoma, her brother John and aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, friends and family too numerous to list but not forgotten.
DM me to learn more about celebrations of life in Mantorville and Minneapolis at @BryantLakeBowl
Julie always kept her connection to the Minnesota music scene and loved the new wave of conscious hip-hop personified by @doomtree, @yeahrightpos, and @dessadarling. To the end she never missed their live shows.
[and proudly wore #nokings gear] https://t.co/xFGJboLxkx
@BNPPARIBASOPEN Despite the side effects she managed to reunite multiple dogs with their owners, sponsored the @Milo_Foundation Horse Sanctuary, and made sure abused animals got the surgery they needed at @Friends4Lifeorg @nationalpyr and other rescue groups.
https://t.co/ePL8AKdds5
In 2015, Julie was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer. Through the treatments she focused on spending quality time with family and friends. She took trips to #PalmSprings where she enjoyed the warm weather, modern design and tennis tournaments.
@BNPParibasOpen https://t.co/uqW0IntLjL
In 2008 Julie made the trip across the bay to a tranquil, midcentury-modern house in the #Oakland Hills. She tastefully restored the house and filled it with her own unique, quirky, minimal style. Tommy, and then Gus, became fast friends with the deer, turkeys and neighbor cats. https://t.co/oZk35nR3vr
@MontreuxJazz @LeZooUsine Arriving in #SanFrancisco in 1999 Julie embraced the industrial live-work aesthetic at her new home in the Lighthouse Lofts. Her passion for local organic food and agriculture would find her at Farmers Markets and dining al-fresco with her adopted Great Pyrenees Tommy. https://t.co/6VMELAxgxx
The next few years Julie explored the world. Trips to Ecuador found her hiking the Andes and dancing on bartops. With cats stowed in carry-on she started life in Geneva, enjoying music festivals, @MontreuxJazz and modern design. Fondue, and shows at @LeZooUsine became the norm. https://t.co/E97WnkPwlc
After meeting at a @FirstAvenue New Band Showcase they could be found regularly at The Uptown, 7th St Entry, the 400 Bar and other venues sharing their passion for local music. In between shows Julie expertly restored their craftsman house in Southeast Minneapolis.
In 1992 she married Paul Lindner, having met on an email list devoted to “Grunge” music six months prior.
