Seriously, BBC?
This stock image of fishermen is what you are putting on the front page of a story http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-37859678 about Liberia’s fiber optic cable?

I always thought of BBC as unreliable, condescending, slightly racist and biased, and this kind of sums it up.

in other news, Liberia’s entire internet was brought down today, thanks to Mirai botnet, again. I fully expect we will have a countrywide DNS outage on Tuesday, just to make our election even more interesting, but no one even talks about it.

If people actually vote, there is no way Trump could win.

Election Update: Yes, Donald Trump Has A Path To Victory

Bought a bunch of ice cream at Trader Joes to share with everyone at work, but no one wants it. They are all worried about gaining weight, it turns out…

I made myself affogato, at 4pm,
and am paying for it now, too caffeinated to sleep.

Or is it because I’ve unwisely reading about the election before bed?

Everyone was positively (negatively?) freaked out at the coop shift.
