OK, the Twitter cleanup is now complete. Down from >20k tweets to just 105. I don't monitor Twitter actively any more. If you need to get a hold of me, try email.

Got my Mouser Electronics delivery this AM, promptly, but the count of parts in a bag was 1 short. Called customer service, and they said "Put it in writing, and send us a picture if possible." So I did this. (Also, how do you take a picture of the absence of a component?)

Looking back at freenode IRC logs from 2004. Found this gem: <someone:#dragonflybsd> freenode kind of reminds me of Animal Farm.
