Slept from 11:45 to 6:45. Woke briefly around four-thirty.
High of sixty-two and heavy rain today.
I stayed up a little late reading Cuckoo's Egg last night.
The remaining islands of snow all smolder.
Walls of fog stand over all branches of the Rouge.

> The Linux kernel currently supports two separate network packet-filtering mechanisms: iptables and nftables. For the last few years, it has been generally assumed that nftables would eventually replace the older iptables implementation; few people expected that the kernel developers would, instead, add a third packet filter. But that would appear to be what is happening with the newly announced bpfilter mechanism. Bpfilter may eventually replace both iptables and nftables, but there are a lot of questions that will need to be answered first. [...] There is a real possibility that nftables could end up being one of those experiments that is able to shed some light on the problem space but never takes over in the real world.
Twenty-minute walk at lunch.
Rain. Rain coming down at a steady forty-five degree angle.
Wasted some time dicking around with CDW about Microsoft licensing.
I just want to pay money and received licenses. Why is this so difficult?
Home:
- SEMIBUG meeting
Done.
2U rack mount for Raspberry Pis:

Vitamin B12?
Idea: a rack of Raspberry Pis running a distributed MUD or rogue-like with one game level pinned to each core.
Nick gave a nice talk about shell scripting tips at SEMIBUG.
Lunch: coffee, Thai
Dinner: cheese and crackers, cookies
