I have a gadget that was brought in to me, (person getting rid of it, in a box of such stuff) and I’m trying to figure out what it even is. Sort of an odd Read more

There’s been this “new” word around for a short while and it finally ocurred to me that I don’t know what it means given how it’s being used. Woke. “I woke up just as the Read more
Been getting a strange email every few days, supposedly from “Kathleen Carmel” (in quotes, because it’s literally impossible to tell whom an email is really from any more). Fairly level sounding headlines for the most Read more

Date line: 20 July 2024… (da-da-di-da… <teletype noises in the background>) Yesterday’s dramatic “failure” of the Internet was because of a faulty update. Not because of a terrorist attack, or because of a junior wanna-be Read more
