Floppy disks are the new vinyl: "The hot new archaic music format is 3.5” floppy disks" https://news.avclub.com/the-hot-new-archaic-music-format-is-3-5-floppy-disks-1827320189
I got one of those LED light strips and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
The Mac Plus on the top left needs some help as it does after every move. Otherwise it would be on too. Bad solder joint on some connector I'm sure. https://t.co/SsxPMcP6uv
I remember going to the Wayne State Book Store to pick up a copy of Borland C++ 4.0 for $99 (which normally retailed for $499).
I can now buy any range of single board computers and run gcc for $5-$35 dollars, all told.
That is mind-boggling to me.
My kitty is dying and there's nothing I can do but cuddle her and love her and spoil her before the cancer and other maladies take her away. She's been my little girl for fifteen years, almost my whole adult life. I knew it would happen some day but I'm not ready to say goodbye. 😿
I don't really have a good reason for having the window air conditioners hooked up to IoT plugs except the plugs were on sale and I love being able to ask Alexa to turn them on & off from another room.
Our new apartment has central air so this is only a temporary thing anyway
I was on this week's Tourette's Podcast talking about my experiences and feelings about living with this disorder http://tourettespodcast.libsyn.com/website/s1-episode-11-twitching-at-various-geometric-shapes
I just wanted to let you all know I'm updating my terms of service to comply with the EU's new data protection laws, aka the GDPR.
If you come using me after that date, then you'll be agreeing to them.
I'm excited to have a Commodore REU again. No idea what to do with it, though. I booted GEOS this morning.
I bought what appeared to be a very yellow Commodore 1750 RAM expander on eBay. Turned out to be the exact same shade of beige as my Commodore 128. I almost feel guilty. I bet a lot of people choose not to bid because of that poorly lit photo.
I'm running a 5K next month to raise money for the Tourette Association of America. Can I count on your support to fund research, foster awareness and provide support programs for those affected by this disorder? http://getinvolved.tourette.org/site/TR?px=1182221&fr_id=1230&pg=personal
We got it!
Put in a bid on the first apartment we looked at. But damn was it amazing.
An aerospace eng friend once said "stability and maneuverability are inversely corelated". I often think about that in life:
The faster you want things to change, the more uncertainty you'll need to accept.
I'll be running the Tourette Association’s National Awareness 5K Run and Walk in New York City on May 20th, 2018. Can I count on your support to help the Association's mission of making life better for all people, like myself, affected by Tourette and Tic Disorders? http://getinvolved.tourette.org/goto/daveross
Considering setting up a Mastodon instance for people to talk about fitness all day but I really don't need a new side project, you know?
Trying to come up with a template for Mastodon profile banners and I swear every view is completely different proportions and with different things overlaid in different places. There's maybe a 280x180 area that's always visible.
Suddenly disappointed I can't post my runs from my watch directly to Mastodon. It's not really the kind of place for that here, but it's something I like sharing on the birdsite and I love seeing other people on their own fitness journeys.
Made another comic for one of @MicroSFF microstories. Bit different style this time, like to try out different things :)
