It's been 7 years. I had tickets to see LP then, Chester died just a few weeks out from our stop. I thought I'd forever missed an opportunity to see one of my favorite bands live.

Just got my tickets for '25! Won't be the same without Chester but I'll be happy to check this off the bucket list.

New video! Representing #TeamPasta in the #Splatoon3 Splatfest this past weekend was fun! Played a few tricolor matches, go watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4aSP_FRmyE

Fun drop-in PS improvement for the TI-99. Should have a video edited-up about it this weekend.

Update: All is forgiven
Stormy had a dental cleaning today. Greys have absolutely awful teeth. Thankfully hers were better than normal, no extractions or problems! Not bad for a senior grey. Now if only she'll forgive me for tricking her into going to the vet, AGAIN!

I bought a random Apple Newton serial adapter on eBay for a messagepad 2100 I picked up a while ago, and it showed up factory sealed. I wasn't expecting that.

I kinda feel bad to open it now...

@TechConnectify Our heat pump has done really well even compared to our old ~2004 AC 20. Even when temps dip into the 20s it's been more than enough. I don't think our resistive heat has kicked on once, except to test on a new tstat. You could smell that test before you could feel it...

Dunno about the tonnage though. Our builder cheaped out with a single zone 3.5 ton AC for our 2600 sq ft house & it's awful in the summer. Runs for 12-14 hours straight & freezes up, & cooling isn't even uniform

This is an absolutely ridiculous setup (thanks Apple for just 2 USB C ports on MacBooks and only a COMBO aux jack!) but I somehow got all the software and dongles together for a working 3ds capture setup on my M1 MacBook Air.

I think I'll save this for a last resort though...
