My brain has lately been on a roll of forming malapropisms based on "like shooting fish in a barrel":

- There's plenty more fish in the barrel
- One bad fish spoils the barrel
- You can lead a fish to water but you can't make it barrel
- It's all fish under the barrel now

Is anyone interested in a bunch of 2XL extra long cotton stretch t-shirts, mostly black: strauss.com/de/de/arbeitsshirt
I lost a ton of weight and don't need them any more.

I have maybe 30 of them. Some older, some newer, all in perfect to good condition and freshly washed. I could bring a bunch to . For free or just donate something to a good cause.

Only condition is that you should put them to good and sensible use, i.e. wear them.

I keep getting overwhelmed by my new camera. I have no idea what most of the settings mean, let alone how to use them.

Also, it’s not often someone’s bought me something I’ve wanted for a long time, so I feel worried that if I’m no good or don’t make the most of it then I’m a terrible person.

So I’m feeling grateful and seen and loved but also guilty. I shouldn’t have such a nice gift if I can’t already use it perfectly.
What a daft thing to think.

holiday music

I don't celebrate holidays. ∃ much work to do for non-profit charities (for fundraising alone) in Dec. Working on holidays is standard practice for me since 2001.

My 17-year-younger cousin told me: 1ˢᵗ he saw SQL was at 12 years old & watched me all Christmas day mucking w/ 's SQL donor database in 2002.

*But*, my mom, who died ≈ 10 yrs ago, loved Christmas & she hated that I worked every Christmas. So, in her memory, I listen to Christmas music all day today while working.

AI 시스템을 위한 물 소비량(대부분 데이터센터를 위한 냉각수, 처리장치 및 부품 생산과정)이 생수 소비량을 넘어섰다고 한다.
어느정도냐면 청바지와 염색면티가 소비하는 물 소비량의 1/250 정도 됩니다.

In my region, not far from here, there's an extreme weather alert. Three months' worth of rain and wind are hitting in just 24 hours, and many rivers are on the brink of flooding. People are being evacuated and will have to sleep away from home, fearing that something serious might happen to their houses. My area is safe, but my thoughts tonight are with those poor people

What I'm listening to today: "Tonverk 1.1.0 - Mas Grainer / Boom Bap + Granular Synthesis", SNDCTRL

Elektron are the kings of DAWless/desktop sequencing, but they've never made a polyphonic unit until the Tonverk this year. If the YouTube synth community is any guide this landed with a wet thud, until they added a granular synth in an update and now everybody loves it. Here a net producer tries the new mode on some experimental hip hop and hits gold on the first try

What I'm listening to today: "Untitled", Berlin Dub Sessions

Dub techno uses the sonic palette of dub reggae to make something different, and this uses the sonic palette of dub techno to make something… surprising, a series of musical riddles, dense rhythms that overtake and trip over themselves. One for the crowd that likes minimal techno and listening to dance music on headphones. Turn up the bass.

From 2003.

漱石の悪口言ってたのは坂口安吾だったかも。古い道徳に拘泥って悩んでるだけとかなんとか。その古い道徳というのはいまの言葉でいえば家父長制のことだと思う。まあ太宰とか坂口とか、ある世代の作家がとくに戦後すぐ頃に、武者小路実篤とか志賀直哉とか上の世代の白樺派に噛み付いていたのは、彼らの考える個人の自由が家父長制の内部からでてきたものだったからで、それに対抗するには家父長制の外部としての女性、とくに恋をして家庭を形成しない女性というモデルが必要だったんだとおもう。

このへんだな、たぶん。 https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/001095/files/42901_23096.html 安吾は漱石と島崎藤村をディスっているけど、いかに彼らが封建的な家にとらわれていて、家から自由な自己を見出す努力をしていないかという批判をしている。こうしたテキストが敗戦からすぐでてくるのも、家制度というものの束縛がいかに強かったかということだし、敗戦が家・ジェンダーの制度を一時的に崩してしまったからだとおもう。「こころ」の「先生」がなぜ離婚を考えるという発想がなくていきなり自殺するのかという疑問はたしかになと思う。「家」制度の外部がないからだよね。

Two years ago, today

I was feeling better and no longer had a fever, but I didn't have much energy. My wife didn't have a fever at that moment, but she had zero energy. It was Christmas Day and we were alone as we didn't want to infect our parents.

We decided to take a short drive to the Po River to relax, without getting out of the car. I took this photo as a memory of that moment.

By 27th December, I would have a 'brain fog' and dizziness. She had a cough that lasted for a long time. We decided to take a test. I was negative, but I had gotten sick earlier. She was positive. It was our first time having Covid.

Peaceful view of the Po River at sunset, with the low sun softened by mist, bare winter trees silhouetted along the riverbank, and golden reflections spreading across the calm water.
