thanks for trying, fwiw it made a beautiful domain for java source code back in the day. i hope you can do a long form retrospective on the .name story someday do you think there's any point in contacting ICANN or Verisign? i'd be

certainly fades / karaoke style subtitles from Advanced SubStation Alpha on blu-ray devices aren't everyone's cup of tea. but i do enjoy antialiased blu-ray subtitles of course YMMV :)

https://github.com/connollydavid/FFmpeg/tree/pgs7-8.1 is the most recent. I'm taking a phased approach with an agentic host repo that drives the source changes in FFmpeg. generally, i do a "sprint&q

oh yes, every commit is fully open about Claude Code + the model. honestly, it would've taken me about 2 years to do this otherwise. there are many FATE tests added and a lot more to add when the hardware verification bits i'm pla

To add to the delight of tnmoc, https://computermuseums.eu/ might be of interest. And from a more local angle & purely for a lovely day out, may I recommend a trip to Cork City and a wander through George Boole’s old st

this is so true for networks that don't implement RCS servers, not even Android - iOS interop present! one thing i would like to see happen is deprecating SMS message with Labels rather than numbers, phishing has got far far too common
