  • I was using briefcase in 2001 or so. You probably could have used it with a zip drive or superdisk before that. But

    I hated floppies. I lost so much data on them. They were very unreliable. I actually lost an internship because a floppy failed when I was trying to use it. Rather than blaming the person who was stupid enough to rely on a floppy as the SOLE location of that info, they blamed me. It held AutoCAD drawings that were going in and out of a machine shop. I’m still bitter.








  • That’s what happens when you do it yourself. You notice the flaws more.

    I spent months redoing my bathroom. I moved a wall, re-routed plumbing installed a new tub, and tiled. So much tiling. I ripped some out I was so pissed at how it went in. I still see every spot that I didn’t like.

    After that experience I went into the bathroom at my work and looked at the tiling in there. The tiles directly in front of the unrinal I’ve been peeing in for 6+years. They were way worse than some of the stuff I was fussing over, and I never noticed.

    Give yourself credit for finishing the fucking job. Learn to not make the same mistakes, and go out and make new mistakes to learn from.




  • In college we had a spot we would go to, sold Chinese and donuts, so that’s what we called it. Actually pretty good Chinese and they would Stuff the Togo clamshell absolutely full. I also got at a minimum two meals, usually 3, though the 3rd was just based on the fried rice, just add an egg and whatever other leftovers I could scrounge up.

    So… Expect people who are interested in that band to start a conversation? Some will be shitty about it (name 3 songs), some will be better (hey I love that band, saw them back in '98).

    If you have no idea about the band, it may seem like a challenge. Like some middle aged guy chasing you. Really I think it’s just people reaching out trying to connect with fellow humans. Some do it shittily, sure. But the impulse in its purist is to make a friend.
