It's funny how long everything about travel takes. By the time I get to Milan, I'll have just enough time to rush to the hotel to check in before a pretty late dinner.

Random heavy snow. Good thing I'm off to Milan for the weekend.

@kdfrawg Reminds me that I haven't had breakfast with my grandparents in just over 10 years now…good memories.

That is a while.

I always value conversations with the grandparents. Mine are in the habit of keeping these conversations short though because they're worried about international calling rates (even though I'm not particularly bothered about them).

The real proof of that is the POS, who famously gets by on about 4 hours a night and tends (tended?) to hire people who did the same. Genetic thing, it seems.

Thanks, it was quite lovely.

Cigar, black tea, book.

Have you seen [medium.com] tilde.club?

Discovered The Network Observer [polaris.gseis.ucla.edu], a monthly newsletter that ran from 1994–1996.

Such interesting discussions about the structure of the internet as it was then vs the structure of a library; about privacy; about the struggles of adapting to a new way of organising and presenting information.

The good old days?
