For my day job, I work with robots and AI systems. I listen to Jazz (Hard Bop especially). I recently got a MA in Military History because I wanted to improve my reading and writing skills. I enjoy genre fiction (SF, Fantasy, Mysteries). Husband to an amazing woman and father of two more. I've managed to automate my house in a family-approved fashion (with Home Assistant, ESPHome, Tasmota). My amateur radio interests are primarily in digital modes (HF), and I'm starting to look at UHF/VHF.

Storage Tranquility

I think that I’ve achieved a state of storage tranquility. Like many with a with maker bent, I’ve accumulated all manner of bits-n-bobs. Screws, bolts, components, connectors, and any number of other little collections that are too useful to throw out but useless if I can’t find them when I need them. Over the years, I’ve used a variety of organizing mechanisms. And that was the problem, it was a variety. Different shaped containers, with different means of organization. And then, of course, there was the problem of where to keep the organizing containers?

Q R P e r
@perlscript Uh, me too
@cstross @charliejane I had a viscerally horrified reaction to this idea and didn't really understand why. Then I remembered a character who went through almost exactly this in one of Vernor Vinge's books (avoiding spoilers) and understood.
@Wileymiller @GottaLaff Or "Peg" for "Margaret”
@GottaLaff @Wileymiller My high school principal's name was Richard Little. He did, in fact, go by “Dick”. That said, the obvious jokes weren't common as far as I recall either because the slang wasn't in the same place it is today or because they wouldn't have landed well -- he was a big man in every sense of the word (and a really good guy).
@SteveBellovin @blainsmith I remember seeing a real NH "UNIX" plate in the mid-80s near Westford/Chelmsford. I assumed someone from Apollo, but could have been a number of places.
@georgetakei With a name like "Keith Fieldhouse," my third-grade reading/writing lessons were very fraught.
Re-reading Hawk as a warmup for Lyorn. Looking forward renewing a nearly 40 relationship with Vlad Taltos
