HEADLINE: HLN Gutted By CNN Layoffs

It was sad when (years ago), then Headline News starting moving away from the 30 minute update cycle, but like MTV moving from music in the 1990s, the corporate parent is bent on profit, not mission.

(And for that matter, like the Weather Channel, the web better serves the content of each of their missions.)

Now it will just be another Discovery programmed channel with no unique live content.

“The tree, it’s 27 feet tall. They did not chop it down. It is a live white fir tree, it was planted last October, after the previous National Christmas Tree was removed in May of 2021 because it had a fungal disease — the second time that year that a fungus had to be removed from the White House.” — JIMMY KIMMEL

@netmeg I am, finally. 😃

@asg @nova Imagine It.

I once grabbed a package to do dial up email under MS-DOS (and later Windows & OS/2), and well, it needed TLC. I gave it lots; after a few years (and over 1K commits), I was getting support mail for it from Africa.

I'm sort of relieved the UUCP protocol lost the war to SMTP/POP3/IMAP4 over always connected TCP/IP.

But it's still out there:

Ask @netmeg; she was there. (And she is STILL waiting for release 1.23b.)

@laird Pro Tip: don’t plug both redundant routers into the same PDU/UPS.
