Old droid & Maemo Leste?

(That’s what I use.)

I do a lot of photography for a museum. In documenting historic artifacts (as in journalism) you’re not supposed to do any post processing. Not that I’d use a phone camera for those photos, but it’s an issue as those features creep into more serious cameras.

TCP/IP was… part of the BSD project? PDP-11 or VAX?

Our museum mostly collects minis from science & academia, so it leans REALLY heavily DEC.

Interesting, thank you!

Although that list is about twice as long as it should be. A lot of those aren’t much more than two movies of the same genre…

It’s incredibly weird that roughly the same story was adapted, the same year, into two movies, one serious and one comedy, and… they’re both masterpieces.

On The Silver Globe, because it’s the most epically manic film ever made. Sort of a Lords of The Flies revert-to-primitivism story, set on another planet with the descendants of a failed colonization attempt.

For context, previous favorite films: Stalker, Ran, and The Passion of Joan of Arc.

(Who said you should watch my favorite movie?)

As a hobby. I set up a tek-4015 running geometric fractals (trees, snowflakes, etc.) in an art gallery type installation once, about 20 years ago.

Weird. I’ve programmed tek vector graphics terminals, and I’d never heard about this before today.

Actually, what’s really cool is the giant vector displays a few companies made in the 60s:

I started with 4.3BSD on a VAX-11/750 in the mid 80s. At the time, you had to pay for a Unix license from AT&T, send a copy of the paperwork to UC Berkeley as proof, then they’d mail you a 9-track tape. (I think that was the process? I was just a lowly user on the system.)

Not exactly what we’d call “Free software”, but after all that you did end up with the full source code.

I try to avoid deep-fried food, but… there’s a Salvadoran bakery a block from me, and they make the best empanadas I’ve ever had, so… “dos pollo y dos papa” (two chicken empanadas and two stuffed potato balls) and I make some Turkish coffee, is my favorite brunch. I try to keep it down to once a month, but lately it’s been once a week…

I remember the first time I heard about the web. My exact response was: “That sounds like a waste of bandwidth.”

Ha ha. Oops.

(In the early 90s I was completely obsessed with usenet. The graphical nature of web pages seemed like a terrible idea to me.)

FRESH sourdough is SO good! The next day… enh.

Banh mi was definitely a “where have you been all my life” moment.

There’s a Salvadoran bakery a block from my home that makes the best empanadas I’ve ever had. Favorite brunch (with Turkish coffee).

Cecil B. Demented is a John Waters comedy loosely based on the notorious Patty Hearst kidnapping from the 70s.

Patty Hearst has a cameo.

Cuttlefish ink used to be used as ink. Primarily in ancient times, but… that is real.

When I lost my cell modem due to the 3g shutdown, I switched to xmpp for home automation for a while. I should probably set that up again…
