- leejoramoI do this too. It was a easy sell to my department
- Regardless of if we consider Holmes a drug addict, abuser or merely a controlled user, it is clear from the stories that Watson was very concerned as both a Friend and Medical expert, that Holmes is damaging his mental faculties
- My all time favorite laptop was the 1994 Apple PowerBook DUO 280 with active greyscale screen. These screens actually looked the best in direct sunlight with no backlighting
The battery life was listed as 2-4 hours. Normally it was under 3 hours. However, with no backlighting and booting a stripped down Mac OS and apps off a RAM disk, I could get close to 6 hours in BBedit or WriteNow. I would spin up the HD to save data and turn it off again.

- Beyond the UHK keyboards there are others with trackpoints
TEX had a whole line https://tex.com.tw/products/shura
The classic Happy Hackers Keyboard has one. https://hhkeyboard.us/hhkb-studio/product
And Lenovo itself offers several usb keyboards with TrackPoint https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F3U4TQS
- The first time I remember seeing a “no use, no pay” plan was with the ProVUE’s Panorama X excellent database application for macOS.
- I will give this a try. I am needing something to use at my coffee shop/bakery for my staff. Currently, we use Paprika and I am Svelte developer, so this maybe a perfect fit.
- This resonated with me, having such a passion for computers, yet sad at what this industry has brought us.
> There’s a good chance this page wouldn’t exist had I not read Timothy Snyder’s powerful little book, On Tyranny
This is such a great book. https://timothysnyder.org/on-tyranny
- This is great news. I had hacked together some bash and fish scripts to mostly do this but they still had some rough edges. I missed that uv now had this ready for preview
- Pricy is relative. Looks like Amazon sells it for $125 (the SRP is $230)
As an engineering student in 1987, I bought a HP-28C. I recall it was the first calculator to do symbolic math
Original Price $235 which is close to what I paid. Adjusted for inflation $657
I think it was worth it.
- There is a long distance between a 0% and 100% rise in a tax.
It sounds like you are saying the only reason to work is so that your children will never have to work.
- I used DESQview for a number of years, and always think about it when see new TUI systems
- Python programming Plone was painful.
However, I learned so much from the entire system.
* The CSS of the Plone theme was a Masterpiece. There is a very good reason why Wikipedia used a near direct copy Plone’s CSS for most of the 2000s. Using just a layer of CSS and minor changes to the templates, I could radically re-theme an entire site in a short amount of time.
* Plone enforced semantic HTML and used XHTML. Regardless of what you think of the value of semantics and XHTML, it thought me how to create well structured HTML at a time when the web was full of very broken HTML4
* While programming was painful, Plone’s UX for content managers was first rate. I was invoked in testing Plone, Joomla, Drupal and WordPress. Plone got top marks by a large margin
* Again too marks for Accessibility. In 2005, I built a Plone site for a nonprofit that worked with the blind. I remember users saying they could not believe how easy Plone was to use using the Jaws screen reader
* Multi-lingual sites with workflows for translators. Last year I ran into a translator who used a Plone site I build 20 years ago. They lamented that none of the sites the work on today are as good as that old Plone site.
* etc
- I worked with Zope/Plone for about 10 years in the 2000s. Without reading the story, I loaded the larger version of the graph and looked for a cluster for Plone.
On my third click, I found it.
Then I read the article which actually stated that Plone is one of distinct clusters. Pretty amazing for a 20+ year old technology
- I ran a single Cobolt RaQ for years for a client. I think it was the RaQ 2. It was dedicated hosted at RackSpace back in the late 90s to about 2002
At the time, RackSpace was an excellent customer service company even for smaller accounts. To this day it was the best customer service I ever worked with.
When I decommissioned the RaQ, my RackSpace rep called me and asked if they could ship the system to me. Apparently, it was the last Colbalt system they had running by years.
- Thanks for the link. I am sure I listen to this ping ago. It will be interesting to re-play the episode
- And before that, used VisiCalc and MultiPlan
- Look at the commercial microwaves I linked to in an adjacent comment. For easy of cleaning, these typically do not have the spinning plates.
- If you want some better options for microwave ovens, try checking out you local food service suppliers or websites like Webstaurant They will be a bit more expensive, but often have better controls and are easier to clean.

- I have read Dave’s blog since nearly the beginning. I remember working with Clay Basket and Frontier back in the early days.
- This doesn’t include the apparently over 350,000 Home Owner Associations in the USA that are effectively another layer of local government with the powers to tax and regulate like other special districts
