I feel like I'm opening myself up to some abuse by posting this, but I still use my original brown Zune every day. I bought one as soon as they became available and I've always loved it. I've swapped out the original hard drive twice (once early on for a 100 GB HDD until it died, and then for a 128 GB SSD), and I've replaced the battery twice as well. Sometimes I wonder if I just hold onto it out of nostalgia, but I hope it will last a long time to come!

The UK has had mail voting for years. It works very well. Your ballot is marked with a unique reference vote. Once you mark the ballot, you fold and seal it, then put it into another envelope that also comes with the ballot.

This is a bit random, but I have a cameo appearance in Counterfeit Monkey as my rockstar alter ego 'Nexami Engeo.' Cool to see the game being mentioned on Hacker News

Flyspell in Emacs 26.1 seems to require a version of Aspell that is not officially available for Windows. I might need to put off the upgrade until I can attempt to compile a newer Aspell for Windows myself.

"Error enabling Flyspell mode: (aspell release 0.60 or greater is required)"
