In my feed today a note from Adrian Black from Adrian’s Digital Basement that he was retiring from his infosec job and going full-time content creator for his YouTube channels. His announcement is here. It’s fun because I managed to be the first person to wish him luck and my name was in the credits because I now support him on Patreon! You can see the proof in the screenshot below! :)
This is awesome: Anime Music Video NIN The Becoming Lain, Akira & Ghost In The Shell.
It’s a mashup of old school anime classics with Nine Inch Nails soundtrack.
I thought this was funny. I think maybe I am immature. :P
I’ve started a “second channel” on YouTube for long and unedited content: Elliot’s Extras.
I’ve been going at In The Lab With Jay Jay for a bit over three months now, and I finally got my first comment on YouTube that wasn’t from a friend of mine:
Do you know they based lester crest from gta v on you?
You literally have the same look and the setup is similiar to his in game lol.
I finally got around to reading about YAML at Wikipedia. Worth doing if you use YAML anywhere and haven’t read the YAML page yet.
The Wikipedia article links to the official website: yaml.org, which is good fun. It’s written in YAML! :D
If you’re interested in data formats and markup languages here’s some other reading on the subject:
This guy, Cathode Ray Dude [CRD], does some fun stuff. He’s on the web via HTTPS at gekk.info and HTTP at www.cathoderaydude.com.
I’m in the process of moving some of my web systems to new servers. The blog.jj5.net has been completed, svn.jj5.net is a working progress, and some of www.jj5.net is broken until I can get around to fixing that too. This outage will manifest as some images which won’t load in blog posts. I’m sleepy now, so I’ll try and fix this tomorrow when I wake up.
I’ve been meaning to make this change for a while now, and finally got around to it this evening.
I started blogging at blog.jj5.net back in November 2003 and continued through to May 2005. After that I stopped blogging for a while, but I started again at progclub.org in August 2011.
The ProgClub blog was imagined to be a group blog, my plan when I set it up was to have all the ProgClub members have an account on the blog, but that turned out to be a pretty poorly received idea. Eventually, and for a long time now, it has just been me (your host, jj5) over on the ProgClub blog.
Since this has become a personal blog, I figured it was time to move it from ProgClub back to blog.jj5.net, where it all began.
The transition should be seamless, old links should be properly redirected, old logins should continue to work, but if you run into any problems please let me know.
After around 12 years with a completely unreadable look and feel I have finally bowed to pressure and switched my WordPress theme over to something sensible. I’m using the Twenty Eleven theme, which is what the old unreadable theme (known as OldSkool) was based on. This change is as a courtesy to my readers, who I do actually value. :)
