I miss the days when PCs could double as catapult ammo or hold open the heaviest of doors in the strongest breezes.

When keyboards were buckling spring and said, "CLACK, Yo!"

When the power switch was huge, red and made a satisfying, "Clunk", when switched.

When the hard drives with auto park heads made their little machine gun noises while spooling up.

And so on.

I've never seen the need to try Docker yet. Firing off a VM is so friggin easy. I have a RHEL7 box that I do them on.

# spawn RHEL5-vm

Do things

# dismiss RHEL5-vm

To me, it’s a healthier mindset.

Nice. I'm thinking about grabbing one of those Russian-made Luch watches. The one-handed ones. I like the idea of "time more granular than five minute increments is unimportant"

Very nice looking face, I think.

Sadly eating fast food for lunch. Equal mixture of relief and guilt.

As far as Rolex goes, I'd love to have one of the rose gold ones from the 1940s. Could never justify the price for one though.
