What Have I Done by Ben Elton | felix.gripe

I gave up listening to audiobooks as I found that I wasn't absorbing the stories, but that turned out to be a plus during this poor book.

finally found the motivation to identify the google cloud thing that has been charging me 19p a month for years – some storage bucket I've no recollection of creating. time/money wise, it would have made more sense to keep paying for another 10 years vs the time spent hunting it down and killing it

finally migrated my last .com off gandi – such a shame they went from 'no bullshit' to complete bullshit since their acquisition. the last straw was a £33 /year renewal – transferred it to @porkbun.com where I just registered it for 8 years for £66

New Greeknotes! Storm Byron batters Athens. Biblical rain, thunder, lightning and flooding. A week spent sheltering indoors reading. Also: the least-lamb-rotting district in Athens.

A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

Burmese Days by George Orwell | felix.gripe

Orwellian. A properly gloomy read about a miserable brit in rural, racist, colonialist burma.
