Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand'ring bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me prov'd,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.
-- William Shakespeare
Labhair liom, a mhuirnÃn.

Cool. Haven't seen any of those in five or seven years. I suppose that means I have to go by the front page, though...

Shock, actually. But good. Hoping for more.
Journal Journal: OpenLDAP config database sucks 1
OpenLDAP (slapd) has always been one of the trickier things to have to deal with. I'd have a hard time figuring out what the fuck kind of magic shit needs to go into slapd.conf to deal with some interoperability problem, but Google is everyone's friend. Invariably someone else has had the problem first, and so I'd just look up the magic incantation and that's that. It wasn't too hard.
But that was old versions of slapd. They've changed how you configure it.
Have you seen recent versions? The slapd.d database? slapcat followed by ldapmodify? OMFG.
Words cannot express my hate. The man-days lost. Fuck you, slapd team! What were you thinking, you evil pieces of shit?!?

Journal Journal: "It Never Happened In Europe" 4
The idea "Hey, what if I line up powers of 20, multiply them by sort of coefficients, and add them...?" - is a huge intellectual leap. So far as I can determine, it only happened twice. It never happened in Europe.
Journal Journal: Trump's Attack Lines On This Are Spot On 12
Trump's attack lines on this are spot on:
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump - 7:01pm  12 Jul 2016
Bernie Sanders endorsing Crooked Hillary Clinton is like Occupy Wall Street endorsing Goldman Sachs.
and
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump - 7:03pm  12 Jul 2016
Bernie sanders has abandoned his supporters by endorsing pro-war pro-TPP pro-Wall Street Crooked Hillary Clinton.
Those are valid statements. I find it hard to to argue with these.

Journal Journal: Anybody Still Remember "The Circle"? 7
After a year, active as a wag and shameless flirt on Twitter, it looks exactly the same in hindsight.
Journal Journal: Ryan Ryttie / kesuki - Rest in peace 2
As most activity has gone away here, I often don't remember what real username maps to what person. It's fine, that is how this social media thing evolved.
What I do know, is that I knew Ryan Ryttie, from slashdot. Today, I saw a post from his sister that he passed away (Link to Facebook is public). No, I do not know the circumstances.
I know he stopped using his original username here. Ryan was a friend, sure he had is daemons. but he was a friendly and authentic person.
I post this in a journal, for others that may still wander here and may have known him.
May Ryan rest in peace.
[Edit: Ryan was known as kesuki on slashdot]

(Someone speaking to an intern): "When you send stuff like that, save it as doc, not odt. That way, people who don't have Openoffice can open it."
