I create software for fun and profit. I'm an amateur urban designer (i.e. I play City Skylines and follow Strong Towns). I live in Dallas, and truly love my city. I like to read history and science fiction. I do my best to follow the teachings and example of Jesus. I once made a web based HyperCard clone.
My belief is that using separate language allows for separate behavior.
If I speak a corporate language instead of regular-person language, I behave in corporate ways instead of regular-person ways.
Which means I’d accept things as corporate person that regular-person me would not accept.
So let’s not use corporate words like “learnings,” even — or especially when — at work.
@pabloniusmonk Yeah, I actually couldn't tell you what I saw there either. I mostly remember getting pizza from Rockyano's next door.
Most of my Dallas theater of yesteryear memories are at the Casa Linda theater.
@pabloniusmonk ❤️The Medallion Theater 😢
I arrived early at #VCFSW to check the Free Pile of tech gear looking for a good home.
Dusty CRTs are very welcome, but they discriminate on "uncool" inkjet printers 😆

@davew I’m glad you enjoyed it. I thought it was really good, even if it did have a slow start.
Evergreen. Juneteenth was slavers getting caught trying to hold on just a little bit longer.

When I need to sign contracts with individuals or small businesses, and they have these clauses in them, I always ask to have it removed.
They almost always agree. It’s usually some boilerplate language they got from a template.

@mos_8502 Yeah…. I feel like I drank fully and descended
Ok, I have now watched the movie and “The Return.” WTF did I just watch?

Plan 9 probably seemed a lot less exotic from the perspective of someone used to Unix minicomputers and workstations contemporary with Plan 9's invention, rather than from the perspective of single-user PCs running Unix derivatives
Achievement unlocked! I got a mention in the #Slackware ChangeLog!
Come see the #FujiNet WiFi Adapter at the VCF SouthWest Show in Dallas, TX this weekend. Table 135.
You can see it in action on #Commodore, #Atari8bit, #Apple2, #IBM, #ColecoAdam, #Trs80CoCo, and others.
Is there a way to run modern web sites on an iPad 3? In particular, Twitch and YouTube?
I'd love to have an old iPad for the kitchen, so I don't have to take the new one, but I don't think it supports the modern encryption standards anymore.
Anyone else going to #vcfsw this weekend? I will be the nerdy looking person. Can't miss me.
Teen Vogue continues to be a goddamn treasure and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
