Dreaming of Bill…

I thought for a long time that there should be 4 sites for the Olympics, two for summer and two for winter. The Olympic committee maintains them with help from the host county and donations or dues from the participants counties.

Pick 4 suitable sites in as stable countries as you can find, and build world class facilities there. This whole building all new facilities every time is fucking stupid and wasteful. Besides it’s been shown that the “revenue generated” doesn’t make up for the costs to build, run, and clean up after all of it.

Well we have always been at war with Eastasia you know.

I feel happy!

ZorinOS is a decent stepping stone for those coming from windows. It was my first Linux daily driver when I made the switch. It got me comfortable enough with Linux to dive in and start learning before I started distro hopping. I ended up on Mint and now just recommend that, but Zorin got me over the hump to become a full time Linux user.

Might be fun to make a live USB and see how much it’s changed in the last ten years. I’ve got a 4 day weekend coming up… might have to try that.

This post literally made me yawn. Not because it’s bad either.

My mom is a retired nursing instructor, I’ve picked up a few things over the years. This is going to be fun when a HIPA violation occurs via MS A.I.

Honestly any industry where you see confidential information or proprietary information, could pose a massive threat to customers. Just knowing how much of a product your competitors are shipping to a location can tell you a lot of what they are planning.

Traffic spikes, on the Internet? One in a million chance! Now tow cloudflare outside the environment and call it a day.

One white legal pad next to my desk, one pocket notebook and travel pen in my pocket. Have a thought or idea, write it down. Every Saturday I type all those notes into a running Google doc for the year and then put a check mark next to it on the paper.

I have a doc for every year. I regularly go back and read though them starting with the most current year and working back. If something is completed or used in a project I use the mark through function on that entry so it can still be read in case it could be helpful again but to signify that I’ve used it.

It’s not a perfect system but it’s helped me a ton.

Grandparents had #8, we had #9.

In Canton OH it’s Tuscarawas Street, everyone just says Tusc.

But… but…but…AI took our jerbs!

So I started with a DOS machine that my dad had at work, then my school got a few Apple Macs in the library so I played Oregon Trail on the green screen, them the first computer we had at home that I was able to spend hours on was windows 3.1.

When someone is switching from windows to Linux the first distro I recommend is Linux Mint. Mint feels similar enough to Win7 that any windows user can drop in and learn it in no time, my, tech illiterate, 76 year old mother has been trying a Mint live USB and has needed very little help.

I say start with Mint and get to know Linux, then if you want to try other distros you can, but at least you’ll have a solid foundation to jump off from.

What ever you choose, welcome to Linux!

Great, now I have to research how banana peels are used in water purification…

I have friends and family with good eyesight and they can tell a difference. Sadly even with Recent prescription lenses I still can’t see a difference. Eh, at least I can save on TV’s since 1080p is cheaper.

The less educated a populous is, the less likely they are to think critically, think for themselves, and ultimately the easier they are to control.

I’m dead tired and can’t think of a way to say this without sounding arrogant, seriously my brain is fried right now, so I’ll just say I take that as a compliment and thank you.

My guess, the CFO showed that using AWS saves the company a few cents to a fraction of a cent per what ever unit they measure by. Those few cents to a fraction of a cent add up when multiplied by the millions or hundreds of millions of units and that savings makes the CEO look like they are more profitable and can give shareholders more profit.

When everything is about the quarterly results and the need to always show growth so the board and shareholders don’t fire you, you’ll cut corners and take the risk, as long as it has the potential to make you look good.
