I've been spending a fair bit of time on SDF lately, setting up, or re-setting up my gopherspace.

It seems that the reports of Zman's death are unfortunately true. Natural causes apparently at this point, possibly heat stroke. Same age as me, which is concerning.
Like many others I'll miss his daily posts and particularly the Friday podcast.
Just as the Wednesday Wrap Up was picking up too.
RIP Zman.

Don't expect any political commentary.
Sometimes the enemy of my enemy is just another enemy.

A good article from John Carter about the death of the University as a result of AI.

Finally got my Urbit ship up and running again after four days down due to the latest update. Luckily I have a backup Tlon ship so that I can get onto the help groups.
Reinstalling %landscape did the trick luckily, I've had that particular ship for years and didn't want to lose it. There's a wiki, a blog and a scratchpad on there that would be tricky to recover as well.
Urbit is still a touch temperamental at times, and not really ready for everyday normie use yet, but fascinating if you like technical stuff.
I believe the Tlon ships are still free if anybody feels curious enough.

As this seems to be working OK now it's about time I put a Band-Maid video on here.
Awkward has always been one of my favourite Band-Maid songs, until the next one of course.

Originally by The Blue Hearts, but a favourite of mine because of the wonderful film "Linda Linda Linda" and the performance by Paranmaum:

This is what they used to call the first post.
