"in 1905, #Moscow printers demanded to be paid for setting not only letters but also #punctuation marks, which required the same action and the same amount of time as the alphabet.

DiscogsDienstag: Joy Division – The Peel Sessions (Dezember 1979)
Joy Division haben im Laufe ihrer kurzen Karriere zwei Peel Sessions aufgenommen, beide im Jahr 1979 und der Zufall wollte es, dass ich die letzte Session zuerst vorstelle. Sie wurde am 26.11.1979 in den Maida Vale Studios in London aufgenommen und am 10.12.1979 gesendet. Joy Division nahmen vier Lieder auf, die sie bis dahin nur live gespielt hatten und von denen noch keine Studioaufnahmen existierten. Das hatten sie bei der ersten Peel Session auch so gehandhabt. Die Songs der zweiten Session waren „Twenty-Four Hours“, „Colony“, „Sound Of Music“ und „Love Will Tear Us Apart“. Produziert wurde die Session von ihrem Manager Tony Wilson (1950 – 2007), der auch Inhaber des legendären Labels Factory Records war. Veröffentlicht wurde die Peel Session 1987 auf dem eigenen Label von John Peel, Strange Fruit Records.
„Love Will Tear Us Apart“ und „Twenty-Four Hours“ bilden die A-Seite der EP, „Colony“ und „Sound Of Music“ die B-Seite. „Love Will Tear Us Apart“ blieb ein Non-Album-Track, die Versionen der 7″- und 12″-Singles wurden am 08.01.1980 und Anfang März 1980 neu aufgenommen. „Twenty-Four Hours“ und „Colony“ kamen auf das zweite Album „Closer“, das in der zweiten März-Hälfte aufgenommen wurde, dabei sang Ian Curtis auch „Love Will Tear Us Apart“ neu ein. „The Sound Of Music“ schließlich schaffte es in der Aufnahme vom 08.01.1980 auf die Compilation „Still“, auf der alle unveröffentlichten Studioaufnahmen sowie das letzte Konzert von Joy Division vom 02.05.1980 und einige weitere Liveaufnahmen zu finden sind. „Still“ erschien am 09.10.1981, genau wie „Love Will Tear Us Apart“ (Juni 1980) und „Closer“ (18.07.1980) postum, denn Sänger Ian Curtis nahm sich am 18.05.1980 das Leben, am Vortag der geplanten Abreise für ihre erste USA-Tour. Er wurde nur 23 Jahre alt.

Volgens Peter Wennink is het 1 voor 12 voor de Nederlandse economie en dat geldt grosso modo voor de hele Europese economie. Hoewel het rapport Europa veelvuldig noemt, bevat het nadrukkelijk een Nederlands perspectief. Het is niettemin duidelijk dat Europa een enorme achterstand in de tech heeft op de VS. Dat land heeft ook een groot voordeel ten opzichte van Europa waardoor de techsector zich daar ook beter kon ontwikkelen: een enkele markt en taalgebied. Dat betekent niet technologie uit de VS per se beter is. We zien Meta als een zeer succesvol Big Tech-bedrijf, maar welke innovaties produceerde het die de levensstandaarden van mensen verbeterden? Verslavende, ziekmakende en democratie-ondermijnende applicaties zijn in economische zin eerder schadelijk dan nuttig. Meta is vooral een mediabedrijf dat met dank aan de comparatieve voordelen die de VS eigen zijn, kon onbelemmerd kon uitgroeien tot de oligopolist die het nu is en de beurswaarde kon creëren waar een kleine groep aandeelhouders van profiteert. Het rapport Wennink toont inzichten die ons vertellen dat we moeten doen wat ze in de VS ook doen. Het probleem is dat het denken over economie zoals Amerikanen dat al vele decennia doen, verouderd is. Sterker: dat denken en handelen heeft er juist voor gezorgd dat bepaalde ondernemingen een omvang konden krijgen die de democratie nu ernstig ondermijnen. In zijn boek 'The Crisis of Democratic Capitalism' toont FT-journalist Martin Wolf waar de talrijke problemen zitten. Wennink heeft dat boek in bezit. Ik zag het op een tafel in zijn "clubhuis" in Veldhoven liggen toen ik hem eerder dit jaar interviewde. Ik heb tot dusverre niet de indruk dat hij iets van de inzichten van Wolf in het rapport terecht heeft laten komen.
Er is volgens mij maar één context denkbaar waarin Nederland op langere termijn een bijdrage kan leveren aan een florerende economie en ook democratie en dat is de Europese. In dat kader biedt Econoom en Nobelprijswinnaar Paul Krugman een nuancerende blik op de achterstand van Europa op de VS. 1 voor 12 is een dramatische voorstelling van zaken en daar gaat Krugman niet in mee. Dat is niet 'fat, dumb en happy', maar getuigt van intelligentie. Goed om mee te nemen in de gesprekken die we ongetwijfeld nog veel over het rapport Wennink gaan voeren. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/eur…

OMG! Who else recalls the days when HP's (non-HP-UX) minicomputers and their HP-UX workstations used HP-IB (practically the same as GPIB, I think?) to connect external disks, at a glorious 1 MB/s, I think it was? Those stackable connectors were kinda cool.
The evolution of data cabling is amazing. Just some 40 years ago, thick and very unwieldy cables like those in the picture were used to transport measly megabytes per second. Now much thinner cables reach gigabytes per second easily. What are the main technological advances that have enabled this?

Whatever next year will bring, we‘ll have to welcome this new and surely challenging year 2026 in a way or the other in a little bit more than three weeks. Thus spoken, „welcome“ is the term at this changing of the year and we are curious to see how the last three (rather moderate) years may be surpassed.

Chiacchiere sul #lavoro: “Io non voglio andare in #pensione, non saprei cosa fare”. “Preferisco venire in #ufficio, lavorare da casa mi stressa”. “Anche tu, quando torni a casa, riaccendi il #computer e riprendi a lavorare, vero?” Ma sono io quello strano oppure loro?
