Writers of Unix history: please write books that get printed on paper.
I love your articles. I can get lost in them. Decades from now, maybe a few short years, they will be irretrievable. We will lose our history if we don't record it as real-world objects.

@paulgowder The Thomas Guide is back. Why seemingly obsolete map books will publish for 2022 [note - books are never obsolete - technology is inherently out of date the minute you buy it - you do not own tech you bought only a revocable license to use it ] #ThomasGuide https://news.yahoo.com/thomas-guide-back-why-seemingly-223242951.html #Maps #HardCopies #KM #Knowledgemanagement We make #knowledge with our brains along with those of other humans - without us - no #AI ah the #irony - #AI consume #books - everyone else throws them out, :-(

Spent a large chunk of last night making #collages from pictures in my #PhotoArchives, because we would like to have some more #hardcopies of our photos, instead of having everything digital.

Most of them were family pictures though, so I unfortunately can't really share them here, even though I am rather satisfied with them.

However, I did make one with a couple of garden and other local flora photographs, so I'll share that one instead. ​
