  • So Long, Equinix Metal

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Three Hundred Ninety Eight] And thanks for all the fish. This morning Equinix Metal sent a courier to pick up all their hardware and maybe that’s why I woke up at 0100 this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep AT ALL? I haven’t really processed All That Stuff. Just shot…

  • I Can’t Talk About It Yet

  • Sure, This Is The Bike Capital Of The World, But

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Three Hundred Ninety Three] What if I just don’t wanna? Also, my titles have gotten rather sloppy lately, hrm? I personally own two or three bikes – a ‘grandma’ bike, a foldable bike for work train trips, and a ‘bakfiets’ for hauling two or more minions around town. I say two…

  • Binaries Are For Computers

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Three Hundred Ninety Two] That’s it. That’s the whole post. Oke, well, maybe not the WHOLE post – I realize I’ve been short sometimes – REALLY short – but I promise my distractedness is coming to an end soon and I’ll be able to focus again soon. Be able to post…

  • A Company Wants to Hire You But

    [Dutch Lock Down Day Three Hundred Ninety One] They don’t have a tax entity in the Netherlands. What do you do? The short version is that every single company that extended an offer doesn’t have a tax entity in the Netherlands, so I’m doing a LOT of research on my options / their options for…
