I'm still messing around with paper data storage because it is so practical and fascinating. If you ever want a copy of Eisenhower's D-Day speech, look no further. Just laser print it and store.

You will need this to decode it after you scan it.

Weeds are amazing.

“But he who endures to the end will be saved.”
-Matthew 24:13

The end of an era. To go from a tavern-like house setting to a cold boxy commercial joint seems like a step down.

@atyh Yeah, the bigger the government, the smaller the individual. Leftists, like the Democrat party, really believe that there is salvation from the human condition in the State. It really is sad because all they become is a cog in the machine to serve its purposes. It is better and healthier for individuals to serve their own purposes and see the good they do on a smaller level.

A friend from college - Ned Freed has died

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Free

I graduated in 1978 from Harvey Mudd College and he was three years behind me. But I came back a couple years later to run the computer center (a VAX-11/780) and saw him graduate.

I gave him some software products to help kick start Innosoft - the company he started with a couple other students. Eventually sold to Sun / Oracle.

He was a coauthor of the MIME spec used in billions of computers today.

@mhjohnson There is something like that in Castle Rock at Phillip S. Miller Park.

@neauoire I’m sure you’ve heard of this tech, have you ever had any success with anything like this?

@MaryMamuzich That is so great that you got to spend time with family and the weather cooperated a little!

Found some old photos of my grandfather and me. He won states in New Hampshire for pole vaulting in 1938. I wonder if I can still do it?

Decided to see how Heidi reacted to Super Mario World on the SNES…Though she couldn’t quite figure out the controls yet, she was content to sit in my lap and laugh and giggle until she was breathless! Yoshi running away was particularly funny, but the whole game caught her attention in a good way. The programming, artwork, and world building really came together wonderfully.

Poking around in digiKam for the first time, definitely a useful piece of software. There are so many nice things in the open source world. Will donate.
