You ever seen something so painfully out of touch and oblivious it hurts?

** I stopped posting new stories to X/Twitter last autumn, but have kept my account, and the thousands of stories I have written since 2013 are still available.

That will soon end. In the next couple of weeks, I'll try to upload my archive to the Internet Archive, then delete all my stories from X/Twitter.

If you know someone who only follows me there, please help them follow me elsewhere.

Posting this from my #Amiga 1200 with Amidon, the Amiga #Mastodon client.
Wow, again something I never thought should/could be possible 30 years ago.

This is your regular PSA to learn the “over-under method” of rolling cables!

Coiling a cable the ‘normal’ way, whether just in your hands, around your elbow, or somewhere else, imparts a 1/2 axial twist to the cable each time.
That’s the main thing that causes your extension cables to develop kinks and degrade!
If you use the over-under method, the 1/2 twist is counteracted by a -1/2 twist every second loop, so the cable is kept flat and unstressed.
This can hugely increase the lifetime of your electrical cables, to upwards of 20 years of heavy use, without kinks or twists.

It’s International Podcast Day and this year, I’ve been playing catch-up on some of my personal favorites* while adding a new one to the queue thanks to a CheapShow crossover episode—a little online talk show called Leighton Night with Brian Wecht. It’s a lovely blend of geeking out, dissecting bad books including Angels & Demons, and interviews with people from across the Internet.
