Eldest asked me to identify some music she was humming (ronda alla turca and william tell overture). Wife remarked I was "very knowledgeable"
Shall I admit it's my fondness for the Amiga Lemmings soundtrack to thank?

I blog about nvim-µwiki, a neovim plugin I wrote over a year ago but forgot about. #software #lua

My German has gotten rustier and rustier since my mom died nearly 10 years ago. At that point, she was my last living German-speaking relative. It is getting harder for me to read and forget hearing it at this point.
Anybody out there have interesting and not too heavy German language first Fedi folks they follow? Bonus points if they don’t mind interacting with someone whose German language skill sucks?
Happy ninth Mastodon Won't Survive Day to all who celebrate!

I can't overstate this. NASA's use of pounds and cubic feet in its outreach efforts does not come across to science-literate people, inside or outside the US, as a sign that the country is a badass superpower that can do what it likes and ignore everyone else.
Instead it suggests that the US is a provincial nation of dungaree-wearing banjo players.
I'm a software developer and sysadmin who could really use being #fedihired.
What I'd really like to do is Rust, but once you ignore the dubious crypto and AI stuff, there seems to be nothing out there. Prove me wrong with a counterexample!
I've spent decades fixing Enterprise mudballs mostly written in #Perl. If you've got a crufty legacy system that everybody else is too scared to touch, I'm your man. I love fixing stuff like that.
I've also done commercial #Scala, #Python, #C/#C++, and although I don't usually admit it on my CV but these are now Trying Times when everything is on the table, even #PHP (the longest six months of my life).
Perl naturally leads into Unix system administration and infrastructure. I've built and maintained mail clusters, VoIP systems, network monitoring, DNS management platforms, that sort of thing. If it's non-sexy but something which needs to be done, I'm there.
Available immediately, for contract or permie, onsite in Amsterdam/Randstad or remote to anywhere.
Drop me a private mention or mail peter@mooli.net if you have or know of something.
I'm still digging out stuff to flog off to cover the rent this month. Buy early and buy often! This time, rice up your old Amiga to ridiculous speeds:

…and if you don't have an Amiga to rice up, look at my other listings. That Vampire pairs very nicely with an A1000!
