Last night of the Draconids
Tonight is the last night of the draconid meteor showers. Are we watching? Nah, the draconids are boring. Also it’s cold out there.
Also, that’s not a pic from tonight – I stole it from Uncle B’s Google Photos when he wasn’t looking. It’s not a full moon tonight.
Here’s a handy phase of moon link. Tonight, it’s actually a waning crescent.
Any Linux commandos out there? You could find the phase of the moon with the pom command. Games of Nethack would run pom on a new game and warn you if it was a full moon out. I think it affected luck.
I’m working on a way of recycling useless braincells into colorful party favors.

Give me an address, I have enough useless brain cells to make party favors for everyone in the UK.
I’ll send a box full express mail.

Q: How can you tell the difference between your useless brain cells and the useful ones?
A: The useless ones all think they’re on the Golgafrincham Ark Fleet, Ship B.

Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.<< carry me back to ol' virginny
