 Giant Corporations™ are scraping my little git server to feed their ever-hungry, planet-destroying plagiarism machines.

So now, instead of getting my code, they get a 10GB treat.

Fucking THIEVES.

 There was a Winamp plugin that used the num, caps and scroll lock LEDs as a tiny VU meter. That was cool. Maybe the coolest! 
 I love this brittle beast I found on Ebay and impulsively bid on. The seller hand-delivered it within a day or two! I'm grateful for that because I doubt it would have survived shipping... the aged plastic case is extremely brittle and delicate. I've already broken (and repaired) two clips (one clip immediately broke again!).

This is a Unix system! I know this!

 There’s an SGI O2 workstation on eBay that’s close to me and has no bids. Do I really want a new rabbithole. Hmmmmm.
