I posted these the other day, hoping to keep them to a single thread, but it probably looked like a bomb went off on the public timeline. Not sure if it even federated. Anyways, my apologies; this is much cleaner.

Watched About Time a few months ago and still thinking about it. Good movie that I’ll definitely re-watch.

Heidi had a great time and got a crack full of snow! I ended up being the sled dog, and after a week of probably Covid, that was hard! So much fun!

Going to take Heidi sledding for the first time, might tie the sled to these pups!

We did get some snow!

There is no rest for the wicked, yet the virtuous have no pillows.

Please keep my fellow Coloradans in your prayers. Thousands lost their homes yesterday in fires. Should be getting some snow in a few hours, which should help.

@neauoire I was wondering how you deal with data storage and protection while living aboard Pino. I haven't noticed the topic on your website, but your book(should arrive next week!) might address it. Cloud storage, a bunch of thumb drives with zfs? I have so much data that needs sorting/deleting and I was curious about your methods.

Bluey is great!

How long would it take an IBM 7090 mainframe from 1961 to do the equivalent of a week's worth of work from a modern laptop? Apparently, over 14 billion years, which is about the age of the universe as most scientists reckon. Also, the 7090 cost $20 million in today's money.

I got @mary a bunch of assorted old coins and they are really neat. They are a testament to the fact that we, and even our governments, are very temporary in the big picture. Jesus said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.”

@mary You get me!
