I don't remember my '50s.

seriously, though, I used to drink tons of coffee but I cut back to one cup in the morning on my doctor's recommendation.

I will see the doctor in a week. depending on the outcome, I may go back to drinking coffee throughout the day. I love it so much.

2026-08-05T17:03:23Z

Many years ago Bruce Schneier coined the term "little sister encryption" for the hypothetical scenario where a teenage boy wants to hide stuff from his little sister. Just strong enough so that she can't break it.

Today I realize that it's all little sister encryption.

2026-07-21T12:43:37Z

I asked Gemini to make me a shapefile with certain very simple parameters. It responded that it can't do that (why not??), but since I use QGIS I can do that myself and here's how. And I'm like this is a little unnerving. I don't remember ever telling it that I use QGIS, certainly not in this or any other reasons session. So how does it know?
