Rough start to my Tuesday. The morning commute playlist suddenly had to be changed from Academny of Saint Martin in the Fields playing Schubert's 10 symphonies to a mix of Black Flag, Exploited and Charged GBH #classical #punkrock #musicsnob
I get a good lol from seeing people who identify as 'anarchists' in their profile and all of their toots seem to be about establish rules and guidelines for instances on Mastodon 😁 #fightthepowersortof
I really love how the #Mastodon community seems to count so many members of the tech/IT crowd in its membership. Every tech toot, every #linux hashtag, and every programming toot makes me smile. I may have to dig out my old laptop with #slackware and see what I can remember...
Personally, I dont miss the bird at all!
@destruktive I ended up relaxing the drive today, and made the decision to buy the pre-test for MS 70-697 & 70-698 for Win 10 MCSA... by year end we're rolling out Windows 10 company wide, and I don't think anyone here is 100% comfortable with it...
@eric If I'm not mistaken, the computer it came with was a Tandy 1000 RL... I thought I was king of the BBS's! I want so bad to open the plastic and see the disks, but I'm resisting the urge and keeping it pristine. Probably a result of my comic book past!
Hard to believe how fast #mastodon has taken off... The Federated timeline could still use a tweak, but its great to see people sharing without the specter of corporate bullshit and celebrity attention-whoring gumming it all up! #toot
LOL! Got a call from my mom, who was cleaning out some old boxes, and "found some things of mine" that she wasn't sure if I still needed...
A box with a 5 1/4" floppy disk that has the war dialer program I used back in the BBS days on my old Atari 800 XL, and the first blue box I ever built!! #oldschoolhaxxor #memories #phonephreak #bbs

@eric It's been three hours... what's the status on that job interview?!?!
Stopped off at Block's Brewing Company in Howell, Michigan (USA) for a drink to end this long week... I went with their house brewed Stolen Souls, a Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout.
