[ Inversia Tavolo ]

Ubako estas, pro krutaj flankoj kaj suden lokitaj montaroj, tiuj partoj de la valo kiuj neniam vidas la sunon, ĉar la monto ŝtelas la tutan lumon.

Je nubmaraj tagoj estas tre evidente vidi kie la suno neniam brilas. Bonas scii ke tie, la neĝo protektita, daŭras la plej longan tempon.

A random link I came across reminded me that one of my FOSS projects' README file references all of the following:

Tru64
HP-UX
Debian
RedHat
SuSE
Ubuntu
FreeBSD
NetBSD
Darwin

x86
AMD64
Alpha
PA-RISC
Itanium
PowerPC

I would like to issue a decades-late "thank you" to Hewlett Packard for operating their "Test Drive" program, that allowed me to do test builds on all of those platforms I had no other access to. [1] I was sad when they discontinued it, even if it was a pretty niche thing at the time.

I must have been one of about 3 people outside of Hewlett Packard, Intel, and Microsoft who'd ever bothered to try to build software on Itanium. [2]

How many of the above phrases would elicit blank looks from newly-minted engineers and #CompSci people these days?

[1] Meaning actual useful Hewlett Packard. The practically unrelated modern HP corporation can, of course, stick their overpriced, DRMed ink and toner in their paper-jam access holes.

[2] a.k.a. "Itanic"

Final #ThickTrunkTuesday for #Today

My Box Elder tree that was smallish when we moved in…because shaded by two enormous Swedish Whitebeams…had now grown to epic proportions.

Main trunk now greater than 6’ circumference and three sub trunks 20” diameter reaching for the sky.
