Reminds me of one year of little travel, Google Maps “unwrapped” gave me a highlight of “places visited” was the Panera Bread just down the road from me

Was this going to be the Amiga 500? I really wanted one but could never justify an A1000 to my parents regardless of how many spinning balls would be put on the screen

Great excitement the day Keith Chegwin came to town to host his OB of swap shop

Getting into CP/M just as MSDOS was starting to dominate was an “interesting” move, they could have gone for one of the many Unix variants like BSD

Looking at job resumes 99% are written by AI, a human written one stands out, they’re processed and short listed by AI

Processing Payroll, Medical Claims, Insurance Claims gone

Unfortunately this is true, I can compile a week’s worth of reporting in less than a day. If my bosses figure out they can give the AI the request they give to me then that job is gone

Which is great because it’s pretty boring but you would be horrified to see how quick it progressed in a year

The US version used to have the entire Paramount + associated studios catalogue of 1930s -50s films , a lot of cowboy films featuring Roy Rodgers and Gene Autry but they were enjoyable

“Porkules” turning Kevin Sorbo into a pig for several episodes while he was recovering from injuries during filming “Hercules” . Now they’d just put production on hold for a few months

I remember people discussing whether that would be a Johnson ruse to head off his dethroning, and how to keep the Queen away from him to prevent him asking for her to dissolve parliament

Strangely doesn’t seem to be a crime in Chicago, you can still wander across roads whenever it’s suitable without being ticketed

One day I realized that Papercuts and I were on a different page was when they were scoffing at the price for some private club and I was thinking “well that’s reasonable” 😀

Yuk that was me 24hr shifts were common, until I was burnt-out, you can only do it for a few years

But after 10 years of that life my 401K tells me it was worth it

Amazed that they chose the QL to be the launch machine for “The Pawn”

I can see her being Vance’s VP pick, he’s been doing a lot of TO events, so she could bring him a lot of those votes

It’s very odd to see domestic US media reporting the gibbering of a mad man with seriousness because he’s the president and they don’t know any other way

No, I recall you writing about the Canadian result so often that you were definitely suggesting it was a distinct possibility. May be their worst result but it definitely wasn’t the Canadian result

Let’s hope it went as well as the last time you predicted it for the Conservatives 😄

Happened to me on Threads, you like a few stories about dying dogs and then it’s every post is about someone’s dog going to the vet for one final time

If it’s unenforceable should it even be a law ?

Looks like one of those continents I draw up for my fantasy books that I never get round to actually writing having spent an age drawing up the watershed of the “Misty River”

One of the big pains is that often you can’t adjust/cancel your subscription in the app because of Apple/Google charges. Instead you have to login via the web (after doing the “forgot password” steps) and make the change there

All these kids laughing at their parents inability to use technology have never had to tune in channel 6 to find the TV Game’s frequency

I always liked Zzap’s ongoing feud with the “serious” Commodore magazines and Oli’s issue #15 eating ice lollipops because CCI’s Anthony Jacobson had referred to you as something like “ fluffy covered lollipops”
