Happy #Tuesday afternoon from the #Northland!

It was not as messy as it could have been with the #clipper #storm system that passed through.

It is still going to be a #cloudy and #cool end to #March.

Given that I didn't use earlier IBM PCs for business, I never quite got into the "lost" tech of that area, dBase. I tinkered around a bit with Visual Fox Pro, but coming mainly from a programming/UI building perspective, checking to see what one could learn there (it was quite good, if I remember correctly).

But no real experience with the non-relational database queries and scripts of that time. Is it worth getting into, just to widen one's horizon? (Probably via DOSEMU and dbase III or IV)

I hate them so much.

NORTHLAND FORECAST FOR MARCH 26, 2026:

A new #clipper system will bring a mix of light #rain, #sleet, and #snow #showers through the #Northland Wednesday night and Thursday morning.

Low #temperatures will be in the upper 20s and low 30s. A northerly #breeze Thursday afternoon will help to #clear out a few #clouds, but keep highs in the 30s and low 40s.

I am still actively using the original programme that I wrote in 1985 to manage my comic collection. It is written in dBASE III+ syntax and compiled with Clipper on a state-of-the art Commodore PC20 with Intel 8088 (4,77 MHz, 16-Bit-architecture) CPU, 256 kB RAM, and 10 MB hard drive (fancy stuff, back then). Today, over 40 years later, the user interface may look a tiny bit outdated, but everything still works like a charm.

(Is this thing on? Used to get a bit of engagement here, but feels like shouting into the void lately.)
