“The [custom content management system] was set up in 2008 but was halted last autumn having never become fully operational.”
As a personal-injury lawyer, I was licking my chops thinking of tourists killed by buses because the city was negligent in letting a non-English-reading tourist take a bike out into our deadly traffic
This is probably a very good start to this weekend
I did not know that Microsoft had conspired to make it so VERRRRRRY difficult to move around Windows installations, to the point that for long-time owners with valid licenses it is impossible to buy a new computer without doing a fresh install of everything. I’m guessing the short answer is that it’s not Windows itself that they’re trying to lock down. Because the main hassle with that is everything else that has to be reinstalled.
The people who made my SFTP software win another round today. They sell you a license that “lets you keep using the current version and the next one” and includes “support for 2 years”. What this means in practice is that, in 2 years, should anything change with your computer, the version you bought is no longer available for download anywhere and the newer versions refuse your license, so you must BUY ANOTHER ONE. Their license terms essentially limit you to renting a license, not buying one. Crock of shit.
Wasn’t prepared for all this work to-do; this will be a fun week.
Then again, all the important stuff is on the cloud in some form, so.

LinkedIn says I should read an article titled:
“The Ultimate Career Lesson: Stop Putting Guardrails on Your Future”

Thinking about doing one of those Young Patron Programs at an NYC museum? My Bloomberg News colleague James Tarmy breaks down the numbers on all the free admissions and open bars to find out how much dough you’re actually saving.
Or not saving — remember, there IS supposed to be a charity element here.
It seems like an additional value would be the exposure to a crowd/group that wouldn’t be as obnoxious as your typical random bar scene. Not everyone is going to be astute, sober intellectuals (we’ve been to a couple of museum parties, some of them are shitshows), but you just might find a few people who are relatively civilized and pleasant this way. It beats hanging out in the East Village (2013 version) again
