Back in ~1991, my dad's "new" work computer arrived with a bunch of #VideoGames like #KingsQuestIV and #TestDrive2, and #StuntDriver that our parents never would have bought us, installed on it, courtesy of the company's IT guy. My sister and I played the ever-loving shit out of those games. Now that I think about it, what a nice guy.

Whenever I hear the phrase "in terms of," spoken aloud, I immediately think of comedian Robert Klein's bit about words that mean nothing.

And then I think, "I can't stop my leg."

But at least he will never take あゝ無情, as the Japanese is too fast for him. But if he does there is always Ayu’s Evolution, which no one can actually keep up with. #YesIAmOld

@holger grep, awk and sed. Available on pretty much every distribution. Not leaking info, either.

Add in jq for conversion to JSON for a more transportable format.

@kay @WFMU OMG! At first glance I thought I saw “Archie Bunker App”. Very glad to see I was wrong. #YesIAmOld

@lauren But aren't the search results themselves AI generated content? Would that imply that you want search results from the old Alta Vista that had human curated lists of sites on various topics.

Removing ArcGIS 10.x (aka ‘ArcMap’) From The System, As Organisation Directed That
--
ArcGIS 10.x has to come off our systems, , ‘end of an era’ and all that, though no nostalgia from me…
ArcGIS Pro 3.x, QGIS 3.32 and PostGIS suit my local needs just fine - and indeed I can’t remember the last time I opened except to (quickly) use a legacy apps, maybe 4 years?
Still…
(strangely I miss ArcView 3.2a in a sense… #YesIAmOld)

One of the things my parents left behind when we bought and moved into their house was my old boom box. My teen has been using it to listen to the radio in her room. I just experienced the joy of blowing her mind when I explained how we could use the tape recorder to record things. Any sound near the recorder!
