@Osmose This peripheral causes me to emit unseemly noises
@tithonium So weird how geography-related phone service used to be, what with long distance and zone calling... now my phone number is frozen with an area code from where I happened to live in 2001
The girl and I watched Priscilla (2023) tonight. That was a creepy sad movie that ended abruptly.
@danhon I just saw the ADU Make Yourself at Home pop up for extended stay. I hear that one gets a bit nosey about your vacation plans though
This 12-hour marathon of the Sci-Fi Channel from 2001 is twisting my melon a bit. Like, check out the commercial for Metal Gear Solid 2 on PlayStation 2. Man, I miss ye olde Sci-Fi
@psychotimmy ooh, I've got my rc2014 in arm's reach, going to have to give this a try today!
Whoa, there's a Dianetics commercial in this marathon! Holy scientology volcano, batman!
@psychotimmy FWIW, I grabbed valley2.bas from github, but ended up having to run unix2dos to fix line endings before it would run without a "line buffer overflow" error. (git performs line ending shenanigans, ugh)
@psychotimmy Yeah, that's probably a better approach. I tried xmodem and then the FAT partition on my CF card before I realized what was up
@psychotimmy Once past that hiccup, it's running great on my machine though! (Though I definitely died in my first encounter š )
Also now that I know a bunch more about Scientology, all those Dianetics volcano commercials I saw when I was a kid hit a whole lot different now
Changing batteries in all my smoke detectors, holding them like live snakes because they like to go off in my hand during the process. One of these days, Iām gonna straight up fling one of these out a window
Making myself some coffee this morning and I suddenly fell down a rabbit hole of looking up load cell weight sensors with an eye toward making the coffee grinder and espresso machine more automatic (i.e. stop grinding at 18g and stop brewing at 36g)
This has been done before by other nerds, but suddenly I want to do it too.
@JasonPerseus For your iPhone, you might be interested in NetNewsWire. It's been around a good long while.
As to how RSS works, basically it's a data file many websites offer that lists updates to the site. An app like NetNewsWire collects that file from many sites on your behalf and presents the collected results all in one place.
