I spent a chunk of the evening hacking away and I managed to get my TiddlyWiki set up and serving from a domain I own!

More details and documentation about it tomorrow.

Meet Darth ASCII.

Tonight I learned about Maxwell Joslyn’s Sith Lord Challenge. The idea is to draw your conception of a Sith Lord, name it, and submit it.

Before I had even looked at other entries, I asked, “do we have to be good at drawing?” to which he replied, “most decidedly not.” In the submission section it mentions you can text it to him, which made me joke, “can we submit ASCII Sith Lords?” And thus the seed for this idea was planted.

I enjoyed the creative challenge of picking characters that would work and am really pleased with the result. The exclamation point for the light saber jumped out right away. Then the A for the body. I first used a u for the lower face and was quite happy when it also made a ventilator. Add umlauts for eyes? Perfect.

Check out Maxwell’s page and submit your own!

I just ripped open an old Chromebook that no longer gets updates to remove write protection so I could flash Linux onto it. Fun times. (di5.us/t/vH)

It’s taken decades for someone figure out video conf, but now @zoom_us is doing a fantastic job of scoring own goal after own goal to squander their success. Get your act together, Zoom. If the world weren’t in meltdown, I’d be immediately moving my organization to a competitor.

US pals:
* Don’t buy foods with #WIC tag
* Avoid grocery shopping the days^1 your state distributes WIC/EBT
E.g. CA is 1st-10th ^2

^1 Well meaning IG/Tw misinfo meme: "Avoid grocery shopping April 1-3" which is not universally true. Different per state: https://www.nwica.org/blog/blog-post-wic-shopping-in-the-covid-19-emergency

Look up what your state does. For example:

^2 California reloads EBT cards on the 1st through the 10th by case number.

Hivemind: wesbite to buy a signature stamp with quick turnaround, that's still producing right now with nonessential businesses shut down?
