Almost a month gone, because I caught the COVID and was out of commission. Over the worst of it now, and slowly recovering from the rest of the symptoms.
@prologic@twtxt.net Agreed. Same with indentation (just look at Python), as well as line spacing. It’s the small things that make code much more manageable.
Technology Connections (on Youtube) posted a rather interesting old film from the 1970s called ‘Critical Program Reading’. Shows how much, and how little, has changed since those days. https://youtu.be/7hdJQkn8rtA
Today, I got networking going in my Sheepshaver install of MacOS 9. I feel quite accomplished. Taking it slow seems to be helping my nerves, and limiting my social time online seems to be boosting that recovery.
@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you, and I hope you’ve had a wonderful day as well.
Merry Decemberween to all.
Things I need to get used to again: typing with a JIS layout keyboard. I kinda missed it.
@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you.
Tonight has slowly become an ignore all the things online kind of night for me. Might end up taking a few days to be as offline as possible for my own sake. I’m still learning my limits, after all.
@prologic@twtxt.net I’m glad people have kept it going. Also, I finally saw the thread from earlier. Purists are best ignored, especially when they throw a fit about not getting to enforce their opinions on others. As they say, don’t feed the trolls.
@prologic@twtxt.net I’m back, mostly. Been quiet due to having little mental energy for any social media. Apparently, my last post prior was back in…March this year.
Just looked at how twtxt.net and yarn.social is coming along. It’s definitely something for the community to be proud of, IMO.
Long time no post.
My 2009 MacBook’s spinning drive finally went belly-up. Managed to clone it to an SSD, but I also have a Time Machine backup, so I was covered either way. Still, no Windows partition until I can get a bigger drive.
Kinda want to look into BBSes as well. I blame the great BBS docu series by Al’s Geek Lab on YouTube.
Back on my Fedora laptop while I get used to things on the Linux side again. Kinda tempted to learn tbamud to make a small personal MUCK for the challenge.
Finally got around to fixing txtnish to work properly on Mac 10.6.8 with the squid HTTPS proxy. It may be an old OS, but it’s a nice OS if you want to mostly stay off the modern web.
I really needed that long break from everything.
