OK, last night’s lack of sleep is finally hitting me. Gorn.
@MegaManSec Cool. I’m much happier with the idea that I’m merely first to call it that, rather than first to think of it.

@Taco_Lad Oh indeed. I’m not just annoyed that I fell for the recency illusion. Again.
@johnthelutheran I’m maybe one or two bets ahead of you, in sports anyway. I won a bet against @mpesce too, lost against @PaulFletcherMP.
@Taco_Lad Oh yeah. That. From the 1930s. Silly me, I’d heard of that too.
@MegaManSec This is what I would have thought, now that things like protein synthesis are automated.
@Taco_Lad Though I suspect that geneticists and software hackers just use different terminology for the idea.
@Taco_Lad Perhaps, but I’d imagined that someone else would have been there well before me.
Google Search returns zero results for “DNA fuzzing” or “gene fuzzing” or “… fuzzer”. I think I just invented a thing. A scary thing.

“Fuzzing”, you ask? This definition is as good as any other. owasp.org/index.php/Fuzz…
If you thought that software fuzzing and other hacking techniques caused havoc, wait until they start fuzzing DNA. twitter.com/kcarruthers/st…
@johnthelutheran What were the odds at that time?

Some 13 minutes of Malcolm Tucker grade invective, plus nearly 10 minutes rated “merely” explicit, @jeamland. That’ll be exhausting.

@AbstractCode Heh. I’m actually under quota this month.
@aqualung Thanks very much. It looks likely we’ll hit Target One, so now I’m interesting in seeing how Target Two might go.
@jplonie Um, I’d assumed that the selection had been made.

@dfg77 So you have. Thank you very much.
@Steve_Lockstep Not really. I don’t care if they’ve heard it or not.
If anyone’s seen audio of last night’s Rabbit speech, do please let me know.
I can guess the age of the Rabbit’s audience last night, but “a generation ago” is… so distant in memory… namely 1990.
“It’s hard to imagine; but much that’s ridiculed today seemed self-evident a generation ago…” No, Tony, that’s quite easy to imagine.
“Riveting, as well as interesting,” eh Tony? Also, “It’s hard to imagine …” is a statement about your own ability, not about the world.
Can someone please tell the Prime Minister that “foremost intellectual” and “tedious pedant” are different things?
“… one of our country’s foremost political intellectuals …” [Fills own pockets with rocks, leaps into canal.]

Every current and former lawyer for the US military and intelligence community I’ve ever encountered has a gloriously black sense of humour.

Friday. It is a world of pain. Your world. Of pain. A world of pain. Just shut the fuck up and buy something. Friday.
@MSMWatchdog2013 @elronxenu It can, yes, though there’s none here and none available within, oh, maybe 40km.
@Knieriemen I imagine it’s people who can’t get over the hump to a new way, either technically or financially. DVD players are $10.
@MSMWatchdog2013 @elronxenu I am a big fan of the scroll bar. ;)
@elronxenu There was a good 45 minutes between when it hit tonight and when I was in any state to find my phone, trust me.
@elronxenu That sounds familiar. There seems to be a lot of this about, it’s just not spoken of.
@interrogativus I know what you mean. It’s only the second time this has hit this bad, but Mistress Insomnia is an old friend.
@kipkniskern That’s the one, yes, thank you. I can perhaps amuse myself by looking up its origins.
@AnturveyLucy Thanks. This certainly won’t kill me, but it’s not much fun.
Either way, I recognise this. It will end when it ends, and not before. Meanwhile, sleep will have to be abandoned.
Severe muscle spasm in the calf. I recognise this. I believe that Americans call it a Charley Leg or some such thing.
Well this is rather exquisite pain and two o’clock in the morning all at the same time.
