poor taste

During the midst of the COVID pandemic, I was in the habit of taking walks through my neighborhood.

I read a paper, Are We There Yet? The Jetsons and the City of the Future by Laura Broman. This paper appeared in Spectator, 43:1, Spring, 2023.

I wrote a Go program this morning. I thought of a super clever way to find the median of a sorted slice of float64 types. This clever way to do medians worked in the little program I wrote first, because I strictly follow Gall’s Law.

I take Pepcid Complete chewable tablets for heartburn.

I got two terrible fortunes at The Imperial Chinese restaurant in Denver Colorado.

I have an old web page here on my personal web site. It’s actually my single most popular page.

I write specifically about my scripting FTP file transfers web page. Go take a look, then come back for some navel gazing about it!

I was helping clean the laundry room. I found this weird little certificate of conformity from a pack of KN95 face masks.

Got a couple of dumb fortunes from the local strip mall Chinese/Thai joint.

I used to try to do one dumb/weird hardware thing every year. One year, I used a Palm Pilot as a serial terminal for a Sun SPARCStation-10. Multiple serial cable adapters and gender changers involved.

My dumb hardware stunt for October 2024: 10 USB WiFi adapters on the same laptop.

I’ve been commuting somewhat less than 3 days a week, from Fort Collins to Denver and back. I’ve seen some mighty strange stuff.
