while making the next dream show vid, I was checking the URLs in the NILC fact sheet, and found a URL that was not working:

http://justice.gov/eoir/list‐pro‐bono‐legal‐service‐providers‐map

after some googling, I found the correct link:
http://justice.gov/eoir/list-pro-bono-legal-service-providers-map

what? they are exactly the same. What’s the difference?

Putting them side by side on Notepad, I noticed the wrong URL was slightly longer, even though every character was the same.

The difference in length started around “bono” – the dash was slightly longer.

I think either MS Word or Acrobat converted the dash to a “better looking” longer special character dash, and the URL was no longer valid using that special dash character.

Very nice.

Thanks, Drumpf.

So when actually taking time to analyze the KRC phone logs in the future:

• Outgoing menu numbers only increased after May 2016, when we allocated several phones to show the menu/addon as the caller ID. (Not show what the previous ones are, and that bump in June 2016)
• addons don’t seem to be counted
• Wrong numbers and yongho cell phone usage dies after July 2015 – merge into regular LA

I was re-watching Game of Thrones Season 1 and was blown away at how every line actually threads further into the plot, and every character referenced in passing actually have some purpose in being mentioned, or appear later. And it is all woven together gracefully – like when Arya starts practicing swordfight with Syrio Forell and Ned sees them and looks worried, and slowly fading in is the sound of battles, and he doesn’t have to say anything but it gives enough backdrop for the bloodspills to come.

Or like the screenshot above, where I just now found out that the two people speaking at the bottom of the dungeon plotting to kill Ned (which somehow I didn’t notice in my first two passes of Season 1) are actually Illyrio and Varys! Didn’t Varys just go to Ned telling him that he trusted him and wanted to help? Ugh and now in Season 6 he’s helping Daenerys? Did Varys change his stance or did the balance of things change enough for Varys to think that assisting Daenerys was now the better choice?

Many of my peers now have (multiple) children, and I’m unsure how socially acceptable it is to not be able to remember their children’s names (despite having seen/met them a couple times). Being the usual INTJ, I’m not really interested in their children, and I struggle to remember the parents’ names in the first place. So every time I meet them there’s the awkward.. “so.. uh.. how are the ‘babies’ doing? (hoping that there’s two, not one)”

cleaned up my youtube subscription list, went from 290 to 99. There were tons of dead channels, things I was into at one point (World of Warships), or channels I subscribed to because of one outstanding vid (eg vocaloids) but watching that every day was not smeothing I looked forward to, and organizations I had subscribed to “just to be up to date”, and strangely, channels I would have never subscribed to – I think they made some scheme (eg NetworkSolutions) Still about 1/3-1/2 of the remaining 99 are more there as a bookmark than as a regular subscription (excel lessons, etc), so I’ll need to clear that up as well.

MIV exercise: what kind of world do we want to live in?

In chatrooms, we are often engaged in a age-old northern nomadic tradition of “wordless chatter”.

Northern nomadic peoples (“오랑캐” in korean) had to deal with the constant sandstorm that heat up the gobi desert every summer. People were keenly aware that water was scarce and opening your mouth drained you from water faster.

in other words, opening your mouth took you closer to death by the second. This manifested into the local culture, which is where local expressions like “hombre con boca cerrada, no le entran moscas” were born.

To engage in wordless chatter, you must sit with one leg above your knee. this is called 반가부좌 자세 – then you concentrate in your inner self until you see the yellow background 32px mic button
and press it

Let us Partake.
