10:30AM Monday morning and my mind already turns to spare ribs and steaks on the grill while fiddling with the flower and veggie gardens.
@matigo
"Where are you going?"
"By the time you knuckleheads finish discussing this, i'll have it in beta."
@matigo I can only get so upset by it though, For some use cases, the simpler hardware and software of that era are just better than they are now. More reliable. More fault tolerant. You couldn't get carried away with confusing AIs because..hello..80x25.
sigh
@larand You'd still be at work because someone in Pacific time called you with an obscure problem.

When you get a call from someone using a 26 year old version of your software who's reporting a file locking violation and you have to remember the exact command to re-initialize the file locking system (This is DOS. You had to roll your own for stuff like that back then)….
@larand Sounds like an all-around win.
I will probably pick up a small john boat, evenrude outboard and trolling motor. Something to take to the lake and fish from. Sidekick has expressed interest in fishing.
@larand Every time I think about getting a boat, I remember back to when a friend and I bought a speedboat and all of the time and money the thing sucked away.
It occurs to me that I am the age where discussing fiber with someone could lead them to think I am discussing laxative instead of networking.
Going to have to choose my words carefully from here on out.
