Appraoching #cat tessellation.

It's snowing. Let's rest. #cats

I wrote a letter to the editor a couple weeks ago noting that Y2K was not, in fact, a hoax. Someone responded a few days later saying it was all manufactured and equated it to climate change.

Today someone else wrote in reaffirming my position. It's a good letter.

Transcribed for your convenience:

Let me, a computer engineer with 30 years' experience, assure Rob Howard that Y2K was no "manufactured crisis."
There's an old joke in I.T. circles -- "To err is human. To really screw up royally requires a computer." Bug-free software is extremely difficult to develop and when software goes wrong very, very bad things can happen. We don't need to look any further than the Boeing 737 Max aircraft.
It is undoubtedly tempting for someone who doesn't know or understand the details to minimize the threat of an unexploded bomb after the bomb disposal expert has done his or her job. The Y2K threat was averted by many years of effort by many highly skilled people. It is a huge mistake, not to mention a disservice, to demean and deride their efforts.

OMG this is hilarious.

Chillin' on the bookshelf. #cats

This is the kind of holiday I want. #cats

I should stop reading news.

Work tells me to visit a site to change my corporate password, but it's doing its best to undermine my trust.

Hard to be mad at these two. #cats

One of the dumbest survey questions I've ever seen. (Protip: use Santa's postal code!)

Managed to get the scope out and take a picture of the moon. It hasn't been clear for a while! This was taken from my balcony.

Merry early Xmas to me.
