Paul_IPv6 / is on Nostr

Just trying to spread the good word about IPv6. Member of an obscure technical group on the internet. Still remember when it was all the ARPANET. DNS/DNSSEC.

Love pretty much any musical instrument with strings and frets (and a few with just strings). Play/build/repair as many of them as I can.

indeed. calling something a timeline, yet not having it being chronological drove me nuts.

i've lived near Tahoe and in CO, both of which do get mountain lions.
every year, news programs remind folks that leaving your pet chained outside at night is like a mountain lion "snack on a rope".

i've always liked this bladerunner quote when some wide-eyed innocent asks me what doing infra on the internet is like as a job:
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die."

at one point, i was a pilates instructor and working for a gym. you've hit two of the key factors (convenient location, sane contract/termination). the last factor that really seems to make a difference between the folks that go for 3 months and never again and those who stick is a workout partner.
might be a class you like, a particular person, but having someone else who's also committing seems to really make a huge diff.
best of luck w the gym and the workout regime!

indeed. i love that slogan "if you have plenty, don't build walls, build a longer table".

thanks...
so much stuff going on these days that focuses on the negative. good to be reminded that one can choose to engage positively and with positivity.

in the 80s, the pentagon didn't have budget for "computers". so some genius officer ordered 8 pdp/70s running at&t system iii w roff and called them "word processors". the system names were even WP0-WP7.
those of us doing sysadmin and C programming thought this was way cool. the poor GS3's expected to do all documents in unix/vi/roff were less thrilled. as were a bunch of O6/O7s who had to keep calling us E4s to explain how to do things.
i was also less than thrilled when i had to figure out how to do a raw roff macro that would use a special IBM diablo printer to fill out forms, including box overflows, etc. educational experience.
