RIP "FatELF"

I remember installing Solaris onto a 64-bit UltraSPARC many years ago. When I did it, lo and behold, 32-bit and 64-bit versions of all libraries were installed side-by-side. I could still run the many proprietary 32-bit Solaris apps needed by my coworkers, but we could compile memory-intensive scientific models as 64-bit no problem.Flash forward to today, and Windows and OS X have both figured this out…

Apparently Alfie's a bomb dog. According to the little card the police officer gave me when I expressed an interest in Alfie, this means that he's highly trained in sniffing out explosives, rather than that they regularly feed him nitro-glycerine or Semtex. Which is something of a relief. Anyway, he wasn't getting any of my biscuit, cute or not.

Snapped this chap calling out to his pastry accomplice, waiting for the last of the batch to be brought to the till for purchase and eventual consumption.
