Aging minor internet wizard. I built the IMDb message boards. I ran the last.fm databases. I rendered the picturebooks at Wonderbly. I survived Makeshift. Many others lost to time. Now VP of EE at platform.sh Good at naming things.
I fixed a door, with matchsticks, and now I have an office door. 🎉
Quite enjoyed seeing Stephen Holland and page45 get a quote in the (slightly wet) guardian bit on the latest wave of the UK #manga boom.
I lived in Nottingham for a year in the mid-nineties, one reason I was excited to was the existence of page45, which had featured in the back pages of #cerebus as a new kind of #comics shop, and it did not disappoint.
Pioneers, glad they’re still around. I occasionally order from their web store still https://www.page45.com
@lisp_discussions it’s kind of dated though. I think at this point we have to concede Common Lisp has been pretty successful. Unless the point is hypothesising that lisp would have been more successful today without the ansi standard holding it back. Maybe? I think it’s worth remembering that it was already an established niche with decades of history by that point, just a highly balkanised one.

...but really, if you want to keep parts of your network intact, you're going to have to be intentional about how you communicate and where you "hang out" and build resilient connections with people. That's never going to be as convenient as jumping on a hashtag; resilience is not always efficient.
(It's also probably even more inconvenient if you aren't a white cis straight dude, but that's hardly a surprise.)
@russss I’m going to file this under “could be very much worse” but still, my sympathies
As demonstrated by this quick snap, they are both buggers for fingerprints too!
Two #design classics. It is EXTREMELY satisfying how well a #NeXT computer and an #IKEA #expidit unit fit together, not just in dimension, but also colour #000000
@russss yikes. That seems less than optimal. Well, thoughts and prayers etc.
@russss fuck that’s very modern. Hope it’s nothing too complicated to fix.
