I don't feel emotionally intelligent enough to write anything which adequately sums up my anger at the sexism-in-tech situation.
Fortunately, @sazzy, rellyab and many others are, and have. Props to you all, keep going, I will support you however I can.

Salvaged three laptop hard dives — almost 1TB of storage for the price of some enclosures.
Finished reading Steve Jobs, The man who thought different by Karen Blumenthal.
A nice summary of Steve’s life, with some interesting details I’d not come across before. The technical mistakes were a let–down, and the language was patronising at times (e.g. explaining what “profit” meant).

He used to go to nightclubs, but now he goes to conferences "which are better than clubs because they still have music and after-parties but you get knowledged-up before the party".
Optimal video-splitting workflow on a mac:
Josh Emerson making machines do stuff. So much fun :)
Aral Balkan uh, that URL is a bit pokey :/
@textfiles oh wow, that immediately looks far more complete than before!
Where are the contextual experiences?
