Dunno what I was dreaming about, or whether I was dreaming, or whether this counts as a #dream....
As I woke this morning, a phrase was `ringing' in my mind: "C. LATRANS".
Spent the rest of the journey to alertness trying to remember what a "c. latrans" was--"is that... a bacterium like `c. botulinum'? No.... What does it mean?"
Of course "canis latrans" is another #name for the #coyote.
What a strange experience.... -

As this guy says, "This new Iron Giant toy came out of nowhere in early 2020.… It's such a surprise, not just because of its sudden appearance, but the fact that it's only $20 at retail.": https://collectiondx.com/toy_review/iron_giant_Goldlok #irongiant #toy -

In other news, #REBOL still exists. I remember learning about it back in... 1998? The surprising thing is that it apparently survived all the way from 1997 to the end of 2012 without being #opensource. The whole idea of writing software in someone else's proprietary #language just sounds so... incredibly #offputting. -

It's kind of nice to have had a problem that was actually quick *and* easy to fix. I feel like I mostly graduated from the "quick and easy" space maybe a decade ago....
Though, having just had a #birthday, I guess I have to wonder how much of that is actually "the world getting more confusing" vs. "me slowing down".... -

Kind of a big relief—I was afraid I might have another failing RAM module on this machine (since "crashing #web-browsers was the main symptom of that last time) plus some other separate mystery I was going to need to debug WRT the filesystem-balloon.... -

Ever since my #upgrade to #Debian 10 / #buster, I've had problems with #Epiphany crashing and my home filesystem getting intermittently (and seemingly randomly) low on space. I think I just solved both problems by disabling the #Google Safe Browsing feature, "Try to block dangerous websites":

Reminder: tomorrow is Susan B. Anthony day, and lots of stores are expected to celebrate with sales on candy, flowers, and maybe even some of the other traditional tokens used to show the women in your life that you appreciate them. But go the extra inch guys: make your own card. -
