@fraggle procmail is another scary one

I’m obviously being facetious but the kernel of truth is that software quality can often have little to do with the “feel” of using it

If you like a piece of software, don’t look at the source. Never ask how the sausage is made. This seems to doubly apply to C programs

Fixed two bugs in a C program. First time I’ve written C in ages

@metacosm I’ve been looking at the Microfreak but yeah same

@elmiko exactly! Hehe

I “released” some containers last night. Several infrastructure bugs meant that I couldn’t attach any JIRAs to the release, so they’re not closed, and I can’t pull the containers from the registry. So if you can’t pull a container, is it really there?

What are the odds of Apple unveiling a mini iPhone again this year? It’s been awhile.
