Finished Thread by Michael Palmer. Starting Midwood by Jana Prikryl.

Been reading Palmer for 20 years, feel only a little closer to understanding how he does it.

@mattl Evolution works okay. There's something basic that I need to do that Thunderbird won't let me do but I can't remember what it is. Probably it's back to Gnus for me.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I think I'm finally fed up with (neo)mutt's inability to handle switching networks (ie, moving from home to work, or enabling and disabling VPN). Failures include just blocking, not interruptible with C-c; or claiming to look up the hostname and failing. Having to kill it leads to lost flags if I neglected to manually sync before moving.

@SwiftOnSecurity Definitely hope the threat actors don't strike next.

Sometimes when it looks like there's no on one to pass the torch to, it's because the person who had it snuffed it out.

I will never get tired of hearing "the first conference I attended / spoke at was" about a conference I organized. I know I'm not alone here, so if you want to make a conference organizer's day, let them know how much you enjoyed attending an event and what impact it's had for you.

Very sad to learn of the death of Murray Stenson: seattletimes.com/life/food-dri

The Last Word, and that Sazerac flight (!) he made me, among others, were just the best. I'm happy to have met him, and still amazed at how genuinely friendly and curious he was. It was inspirational to me how readily and unselfishly he shared his knowledge.
