Just spent 10 seconds searching my desk for the reading glasses that were on my head. Just put me out on an ice floe already. #gettingold – at Rosetown, Saskatchewan

I figured this day would come eventually, but I’m still annoyed and disappointed. Any recommendations for a good email host with custom domains that’s not as expensive as Workspace/G Suite? arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022…

I signed up for the free Google Apps for Domains probably back in 2006 for my personal domain, and for my freelance domain in 2007. Also have it set up for our church. Just cringing at the thought of what a pain it’s going to be to migrate away.

Had access through @usask, downloading DOOM via FTP at the lab to 3.5” floppies. Not sure I had discovered the WWW yet (or that there was much of it to see yet), but lots of Usenet, gopher, archie and veronica. Gads, I’m feeling old now.

We cannot provide safe, patient-centred care while at the whims of a capricious and irresponsible government that has created a disaster with failed public health policies and is now compounding its errors. Cheap politics must never come before human life.

I don’t know who made this, but they nailed it.
I am convinced security is missing on purpose because nobody includes security in software development anyway.
Noticed this box on the top shelf of my bedroom closet tonight. Haven’t dared open it to confirm contents, as it could instigate a Jenga-like avalanche of boxes and junk, but wow, that’s probably been up there a while. Haven’t seen that logo in a long time.
ALT Label on a box with the US Robotics logo, a barcode, and the text “SP 144 PC FX EDU”

Judging by the label, that’s probably the box from a 14.4kbps modem, and the “EDU” in the label probably means I bought it at the @usask computer store in the early 90s. The true meaning is that it’s probably time to clean that shelf.
