schestowitz> if you hear less from me, the latest fun in my life (strictly between you and me) is that i was just assaulted by my ex, and more or less forced to deal with the authorities (but i didnt prefer to. i had good reason to be concerned that if i didnt, i might have to anyway.)Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz>Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz> in fact if i had done that sooner, my ex probably wouldnt have needed to be processed at all. i provided bail for them. i wrote my statement to hold them to the least they could be held to, without perjury, since id already said a couple things on the phone that had to be said.Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz>Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz> when they came back to get my official statement, they said "was their hand open or closed?" i thought back to the statement i wrote and said:Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz>Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz> "you know, i dont think i specified that." they didnt inquire further.Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz>Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz> i dont know if i will have to bother further with this. ive packed up their things for someone to pick up.Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz>Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz> fuck this week.Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz>Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz> assuming im around enough, i will be happy to assist with the usual.Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz>Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz> i dont think brits say "a spot of bother" anymore. it probably belongs in a sherlock holmes story, not the present. but if the shoe fits.Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz>Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz> im not the least bit interested in pressing charges, nor did i mention anything that i knew would cause anybody else to. but the wheels are now in motion-- hopefully they will not go far.Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz>Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz> so far, the authorities were helpful. i wasnt expecting that. i would be happy if they dont make up for it later.Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz>Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz> cheers.Jul 14 09:38
schestowitzin my experience, cops have been polite but never really helpful, never actually solved a case. they just want to put a signature and ticks in all the right boxes to "meet targets"Jul 14 09:38
schestowitz> although i believe in using certain details (for email headers, forum logins, etc) that are not entirely-- well, you know.Jul 14 09:39
schestowitz>Jul 14 09:39
schestowitz> i dont believe in being over the top about it. sure, a minor detail may get fudged here or there, but the wild stories are true ones.Jul 14 09:39
schestowitz>Jul 14 09:39
schestowitz> i really did eat breakfast with buzz for example (i shouldnt use his first name though, i only met him once.) we really were expecting the president and hillary (i was not interested.)Jul 14 09:39
schestowitz>Jul 14 09:39
schestowitz> i really did meet h. xxxx when i was kid, at his lab at mit, i do have hyperlexia (started reading very early) and basically everything ive ever told you is true-- otherwise, why bother saying it.Jul 14 09:39
schestowitz>Jul 14 09:39
schestowitz> but i will fudge online forms a bit, provided they arent the important (legal) ones.Jul 14 09:39
schestowitz>Jul 14 09:39
schestowitz> and i did live in the uk, grow up where i said, etc.Jul 14 09:40
schestowitz>Jul 14 09:40
schestowitz> there are very few people in the world who know as much about me as you do-- at least, that i know of.Jul 14 09:40
schestowitz>Jul 14 09:40
schestowitz> all the best.Jul 14 09:40

schestowitzYes, we probably have not updated in a long time. And I worry an update might break something; or a lot of things.Jul 15 18:57
schestowitzWould that make certbot easier if upgrades are applied (see bytesmedia account with feedback we got to that effect from a reader)Jul 15 18:57

schestowitzThank you, I'll examine it in a moment. Your articles are always of very high quality and standards. I'm lacking things to write about the EPO, so anything helps. Curious about what happens at "Topic IP" in Zagreb. No input from sources there in months...Jul 16 08:10

schestowitzmight be a good idea to stop httpd if you dd the whole VM.Jul 19 05:04
