so, was the candy “turkish delight” invented in the book, or mentioned in the book?

Friday is always my favorite because I don’t have to program my music or find a good radio station.

DJ Ted spins records for us for “480 minutes”!

I can tune in, and leave it there for 8 hours.

Biggest lie every told to us by technology?

“Click here to unsubscribe…”

It would be SO FUN if you could stream the entire back catalog of the show 120 Minutes!

I can’t believe that after being an HP fanboy for so much of my life, i have to admit that i HATE @HP .. They made the greatest calculators ever.. (is this even the same comany?) but now, all i get is bombarded with emails for KRAP.. and i can’t even unsubscribe. i hate them.

Cool article on #MorseCode on Smithsonian!

Super #foggy night

Trying to figure if I should learn #PyQt or #Flutter to create cross platform #GUI desktop apps. I am really thinking about relearning #Python (it’s been more than a decade) just for all of the libraries.

My mini me turns 15 today. Happy bird day 🐣!

I have been wondering if there is any interest in #quadrophonic mixes of modern music. This seems like a REALLY cool thing. Might be super niche, but maybe not TOO niche.

i can’t BELIEVE that Super Mario RPG isn’t part of the SNES lineup on #Nintendo Switch

I bet if @elecraft brought the #kx-1 back to life, everyone would buy one.

While I do love #Mathematica and #WolframLanguage , it seems SUPER expensive ($194/year) for a hobbyist license, where you can only play with it, and not make any money.

As I yet tended my flock of one dog and one cat, I was visited by a UFO. Shaped like concentric wheels, they were covered with eyes, and infinitely spooky. A voice from the UFO spoke. It said, “Be not afraid. For in the house next to you, a bestie is born, and she shall show you the way.” And lo, I did prepare three gifts for the magical bestie: a playlist of music to slay the soul, a pot of chicken tikka masala with rice, and a pot of meatballs and spaghetti. And I approached the magical one. “I am Feather, I bring to you the way of peace and light.” So, I implored Feather for the answers. “Whom shall I subjugate so that I may make it into your good graces?” “No one! You shall treat all with love and kindness!” “Who may I belittle using my connection to you?” “No one! You shall treat all with love and kindness!” “Can I say a few prayers and give money to skirt this requirement and just be a jerk to everyone?” And lo, Feather did rise into the air. Sparks shot from her eyes and fingers, and she exclaimed: “To follow me, you must treat all with love and kindness! There is no more!” And it was thus that I began my journey of Love and Light from the baby born on this day so long ago. Happy Birthday, Feather.

With Terry Hall’s passing, my YouTube algorithm is crazy with related info. This is a great documentary for all you mods, rockers, hippies and skinheads.

And it’s still snowing.

It’s starting to #snow

Muggzie is trying to keep warm, even though it’s 21C in here. #corgi

When I woke and asked Alexa what the weather was today, she said, “It’s going to be a cold and dreary day.” Thanks, b¡tch.

Young people always ask me what the best programming language to learn first is. Honestly, it’s whatever language you converse with your fellow human beings.

Being able to convey the details of the problem you’re trying to solve and your approach to another human is paramount.

I have been sicker before. With flu, etc. But this past week has been the sickest I have ever been with a cold.

Movies you put on just to hear the soundtrack.. and .. GO!

I’ll start: “Garden State”
