On this day in 2009, I never thought I would be directing this post to @danielpunkass https://www.jeremycherfas.net/blog/the-software-ate-my-homework-honest.
Long may it continue.
Hey @marcoarment Overcast.fm still giving errors: ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed when I try file_get_contents(overcast_url)
Is this a relic of the big certificate fail a while ago? If not, I wonder what I can do about it.
@AgroBioDiverse You are a star! Manuel Elkin Patarroyo is the man.
"The chemically manufactured vaccine known as SPf66, invented by Patarroyo, had limited results with "only" 55 percent effectiveness. Even so, it was a breakthrough."
I hope @thedailybeast follows up.
@LSHTM All this talk of a first malaria vaccine ... first approved, maybe.
I can't be the only person who remembers early trials by a Venezuelan whose name, alas, I cannot remember. There was protection, but not enough. Does anyone else remember what I'm talking about?
Very nice idea. @croptrust is offering to help seedbanks in less well-off countries financial help to duplicate their collections and store them safely in Svalbard.
What are you waiting for? Apply now. https://www.croptrust.org/svalbard-grant-call-for-proposals/
How to help someone use a computer
I just rediscovered this page, which I first linked to on this day in 2004. Timeless advice that I try to follow when I give and appreciate when I receive.
In my ignorance, I didn't know who Phil Agre was; now that I want to know more, it is hard to do so.
Hey @marcoarment Has something changed in Overcast back end? I am getting errors like `file_get_contents(): Failed to enable crypto` from my all data XML file. Maybe part of that root certificate thing, which I confess I do not fully understand. #indieweb
