What's your PC/drive/USB/NAS naming scheme?
even if it's just a vibe or tendency.

I want a device that’s just a phone and nothing but a phone. It makes and receives voice calls and nothing but.
Then I can throw it away cos that’s the worst bits of owning a smartphone, and I’ll keep the rest.

Day 69 of ADHD Medication.
Nice.
I've always disliked macOS's default apps and windows looking so similar.
I'm old, started on the Amiga, full screen mode is still weird and new to me so I don't use it. Dragging out a window I expect is a finder window and it's shit... Music.app. Nope, it's the Calendar. Nope, it's Keychain Access. Shit. What was I doing again? Short term memory gone, now I have to chase what I'm doing again.
Now it's merely annoying, not task-killing.
Nice.

@npub1l3g…vu48 Oh the music in dreams and while drifting off!. I have never had an ounce of musical ability in waking life, but the fresh compositions as I drift off often make me wonder what on earth my brain is doing.

Co-worker made a joke about hiding snacks in cleavage yesterday so I stashed dill pickles and materialised one during the carpool to work as a lark.
"I ... honestly don't know if I'm surprised at you or surprised I'm not *that* surprised, Dana".
It's now after lunch and just found the other one.

OK subtweeting someone elsewhere.
If you think my ADHD posting is attention seeking, fuck off.
1. I'm a really private person in so many ways and find this level of sharing is more than a bit uncomfortable, but people posting their inner experiences helped me more than any description in papers or textbooks. Read the replies.
2. Humans are gregarious, sociable animals. Attention is a huge part of how we work and a level of it is psychologically healthy.
3. Fuck off again.

ADHD Meds Day 49 - one of my worries with medication no longer always having an obvious detectable *vibe* when it's working is there are things that are ADHD-like still presenting themselves, and I've been a little unsure if it's a regression.
Like jumping from task to task without plans, and my tendency to be an overtalker IRL, a complete babble-shit-type. Deadpool. Agatha Clay. Haré from Guu. Darcy Lewis.
But with the medication vibe easing off, I'm able to examine that behaviour more.

The Power Macintosh G6E was terrible. It was twice the width and twice the weight of a regular all-in-one G-series Power Mac, and most collapsed under their own weight. Left to their own devices, many popped out of existence into tiny black holes that quickly evaporated.

The Macintosh Double Plus was designed to be twice as good as its predecessor - it featured double the pixels, width, floppies, and a pair of 8Mhz 68010 CPUs. Its planned successor, the Double Plus Good with a pair of 16Mhz CPUs was thrown down the memory hole.

1989's Macintosh SE/30L is remembered as one of Apple's biggest flops. MacWorld criticised its rotated L display as "...bringing all of the issues and none of the benefits of a true L display", while MacWeek called it "Some kind of deranged P display nobody asked for".

ADHD meds end of week 2 note.
My whole sense of time is different.
I don't come home from work, do a few amusing things then oh shit it's midnight, time to sleep. It's fit in a whole evening of visiting family, bun time, reading, catching up with folk online, and it's only 10:20pm and it feels like a normal whole weekend's already fit in. Free time used to fly by, now it's savoured fully.

you can live to get old ok? just so you know. I know that's not terribly big to anybody but us, but I think it’s important to know when it may not feel a given. time passes and the world is sometimes shit but it's also kind and surprising with decades of this wonderfulness behind me and more to come.

It's 4450CE. Humanity has reached and explored the stars. We've solved poverty and hunger, we make good use of resources and take care of all sentient life.

I don't think I've used my Quadra 605 continuously as much as I have in the last few weeks of taking a wander around #globaltalk from time to time.
So much so I had do *actually clean a mouse ball that had become dirty*.
What an experience :D

The Macintosh Two-Page Colour Classic was quite a handful. MacWorld Magazine described it as "Perfect for small business and people with two eyes, it's the most two-page two-screen colour classic we've seen. With its unique built-in double-degauss floppy disk eraser, it's also the most secure".

Reply with a swatch of the colour that just goes straight to your heart. Your fave hue, the best chroma vibe for your head.
