The very best thing I can say about today’s weather is that I cannot see Washington. Which, under the circumstances, may be a feature, not a problem.
A little more from yesterday’s spring walk.
On my way back from an exciting visit to Goodwill, I came across a perfect figure-8 coil of fiber optic cable. Who knew?
Back in the torn paper tape days of Baudot code and TTY machines, we wound tape the same way across our fingers so it wouldn’t twist, snarl, or jam in the reader.
Apparently, some things never change.
Whether it’s paper tape or fiber optic cable, the rule still holds:
Don’t let the tape (or wire) fight itself.
Nice to see that a bit of old-school technique is still alive, just at a much larger scale.
Meanwhile, the Pixel phone provisioning saga appears to be over.
Google has declared it fixed and issued a $20 credit.
A hard way to earn $20.
