Internet of "Just Janitor Things"
I suspect these are simple bluetooth low energy beacons. Will find out more on my next visit. I have to wonder about the cost-benefit of these. It seems like you should already have a regular schedule for cleaning. So that leaves out-of-band events. Seems like a sign with a phone number for call/text would have worked as well...

1500 Word MTU Experiment: Day #1
[lynx-ified version below]
End of day #1 with Known. I'm quite pleased with the results.
Good Stuff
* brid.gy is awesome. Having +1's, likes and comments consolidated is so nice.
* Webhooks! I'm thinking of writing one to automatically archive pages to archive.org.
* PuSH appears to be fully working. Again, could extend things there..
* Google+ renders images well.
* The editor saves drafts.
* Lightweight page editor should be useful.
* AMP support is there (add ?_t=amp to any page) Some validation issues, but works.
* Real anchor tags and hyperlinks. No more writing [1] [2] in posts with multiple links (like lynx)
Rough Edges
* The built-in Photo type doesn't send the permalink to Twitter, so now I have a weird post without context. Flickr, Facebook working perfectly, might try another setting.
* I need to get to writing a Google+ outbound connector. I'm doing those by hand now.
* TInyMCE sucks. It has always sucked! If only Medium would open source their editor. At least markdown is an option.
* Looks like syndicated Google+ links are using profiles.google.com instead of plus.google.com.
* Some profile pics cloned from G+ are coming back with size 0. This shows as broken images.
* Long status posts have extra long permalink URLs.
* Built-in analytics are weak. Would rather avoid using GA for that.
* Limited import options. Will need to convert Typepad export file to Wordpress format.
* Bulleted lists line-height is tight, tight, tight.
Overall I'm pretty happy and excited about getting more content in place.
And who knew that a post on SSL/TLS certs would be soooo exciting?

Look at that upstream rate from the KMTel's (http://kmtel.com) $45 fiber plan.
... as I sit here with 20% Comcast packet loss on my 30/7 for double the money.
An interesting article about this phenonemom:

Gopher, 25 years on. Long, fun read.
Twenty-five years ago, a small band of programmers from the University of Minnesota ruled the internet.
And then they didn’t.

Metastatic isn't something you beat, it's something you live with.

Highly recommended watching.
Hyperbolic discounting of future costs and Ulysses pacts are apropos to many situations. For example, technical debt.
