Well, lucky you anyway - I'd give up a lot to be able to instantly play Jimi Hendrix in my mind!

OK. I avoided this post for a while, and then had to find out what was up. It was worth it. Ha ha, it brought a bit of levity to my afternoon.

It was in the early '90s, sometime before South Korea broke out as a dominant economic force. Yes, I'm convinced he thought I was a western educated Korean brat prancing around in …

As a young man many years ago I happened to be in Seoul, in a shoe store. I was casually asking prices in English and noticed the salesman or owner was getting visibly angry with m…

I'm usually overwhelmed beyond 10-15 open tabs.

Oh, when will you ever learn? Oh, when will you ever learn? Marlene Dietrich

It took me a long time to get there, but I eventually did - I agree with every one of things that you listed. Fortunately, I have also learned that there are a whole lot of things …

I had a slightly better experience. For the thrill of it, I spent hours preparing for a couple of test papers making a number of little cheat sheets in tiny handwriting. At the end…

I don't think that is the case. I think it would have to take a deeper understanding of double-entry accounting to really appreciate its genius. The key lies in the double entry th…

I tried using John Wiegley's Ledger, which uses negative numbers. Everything was great about Ledger except for that part - I just couldn't wrap my head around it.

I'm not sure if that's the reason for it, but I'm pretty certain introducing negative numbers would confound the accounting process.

I have always lamented the loss of the tail. Every time my dog, though almost entirely asleep, wags its tail to acknowledge my presence, I always say to myself "Now, THAT is effici…

Hyprland can do that, quite easily. It has windows rules that allow you to place everything just so.

Ah, you're right. I realized that was probably what was meant after I'd posted. I never realized there was so much history - just thought the app had been orphaned for the usual mu…

Veracrypt works on Linux too. I switched over when Truecrypt was orphaned.

I was distracted by the charms and features of the HP-19B for a while, but yeah, the HP-12C is my old faithful.

That is as sweeping a statement as one could make about Buddhism.

You'd be surprised.

Sounds very useful to me. rsync is my go to tool - I use it to manually maintain versions of my workstation as I find it the most reliable and usable among all options I've tried.

Me too. And now I find it so invaluable.

I feel this study is incomplete - we should ask Austin Powers and Fat Bastard to weigh in as well.

Oh, I hope not. Still, at best let's hope it happens really slowly.

Well said, indeed! I am in fact working my way through some Dylan, Neil Young and Tom Petty, among others. I simply Won't Back Down. ;)

I hear you. In my case I was finally able to get to music late (past 50). I'm so grateful I was around long enough to do that. It does not pay any bills, but it gives me much happi…

Without a shadow of a doubt.
