Thank you for writing one of my favorite blog posts of all time! I am curious: What is your favorite thing you’ve written?

Hi! Do you happen to have that elevator music saved? I'm curious what it sounded like.

I had it saved, but it was 3-4 computers ago. I don't think I still have it, and if I did I wouldn't know where.

Aside from the article, I only found these scripts on my disk related to this project.

listen_2046.py and send_2046.py

I'm curious now, did you develop the sending program at the same hotel, and if so, did it work?

(My guess is probably not, but you might DoS the other stream while you're sending your own.)

Since you appear to be Turkish what's your favourite Turkish food that is poorly known outside of the country? Also don't miss https://subseacables.blogspot.com/2025/12/fully-diverse-100g...

"poorly known outside the country" rules out the main foods I like.

I love a good Kuymak [1] though, I think that's not too well known.

Nice, haven't tried that. Found a local cafe which looks very well run where it's a feature. On the list for next year! Happy New Year!
