"An abstract programming interface for the transport layer" (post-sockets) now being discussed at the TAPS working group.

Sockets are clearly *way* too low-level. Application programmers should ask services not specific protocols/addresses/etc.

#IETF100

Does anyone have a recommendation for a provider?

$Work needs SIP to replace a T1 that AT&T decided to disconnect so they could wake me up in the middle of the night far too often these past two weeks. There will be some trick questions; international calls are the tip of the trouble iceberg, followed by DTMF issues. Good customer support is my top priority. (I'm pretty sure any SIP is cheaper than a T1, so cost is already a win.)

Seriously, AT&T? I understand if a tech is awake, so am I ... but it's the same problem it's been for the past two weeks!!!

More clueful and less calling me every 15 minutes would be appreciated.

There seems to be a MAJOR Signal-Desktop bug that allows a person to send and receive messages of another person. That should never be possible to happen! Reason still unclear as of now, help track it down? github.com/WhisperSystems/Sign

Halloween street parties are the screamiest.

"How do my feet even get this cold?" with a side of "I can't fall sleep with cold feet." For this season and reason, I have a heating pad. I have a technical solution to this problem.

Since I expect to be busy with tomorrow, I thought I'd let y'all know in advance that Monday is Mole Day!

What is Mole Day? moleday.org/

(Not animal, birthmark, or sauce, but the chemistry unit 6.02 x 10^23 Avogadro's Number.)

The corollary to "emotionally-healthy people ask for what they want" is that any expectation of mind reading is unhealthy.

I should not expect you to read my mind. I should "use my words" and "ask for what I want."

Likewise, I should not be expected to read your mind. That's a sign of danger in a relationship.

That's another reason why it's so important to express what you want.
