I slept really really really late and so I was all spaced out and stuff today, so I didn't do anything. So I don't have anything to write about and didn't get any kitteh pix uploaded either. I did do the most important things, which were dish out plenty of gooshyfud for Tortie, and do a lot of...
Yep here are pictures of my Wang. Laptop that is. This the Wang laptop. I believe they only made one model. Wang was noted for word-processing systems and the Wang Laptop is very word processor oriented. It even has a printer built-in. Remove the display and it looks like a typewriter. The Wang...
Today's NaBloPoMo post is brought to you by Not Having the Energy to do Even the Simplest of Internet Searches. Today was job performance review day for me. It went very well. I'm not sure why I never feel on cloud nine after a review. I mean, provided the company doesn't decide to freeze bonuses...
I don't like romantic movies I can't lie. I wish I could say "I don't like romantic movies" and if it wasn't for Truly, Madly, Deeply, it'd be true. TMD is not only a romantic movie I like, it is a romantic movie I love. loooove. even wuv TMD is a love story between she who is here, and he who is...
I met the lovely and talented Lauowolf at a local coffee shop. It is NOT a chain, it's a proper shop where they roast the coffee beans on-site. They also have a redonk number of teas. Excessive smoothie flavors. And baked goods, plus salads and sandwiches and every flavor possible of Italian soda....
Well I debated about whether this counted as a computer or not and I finally decided it did. It has 1.9 K RAM and a QWERTY keyboard. Anyway, it is also known as the Radio Shack PC-1, Tandy PC-1 or a rebadged Sharp PC1211. It was released in 1980. I think I bought my on clearance in 1982 and used it...
And I choose cats. Specifically a crazy long tuxcat named TK. Poor TK has issues and has been through several operations due to big nasty crystals that keep forming in his little kitty body. He is currently recuperating from his latest stinky vet adventure and we wish him all the best. I stole this...
English title: Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Pedro Almodovar had been making movies for over ten years when Women on the verge... brought him worldwide attention, which he has kept for over twenty years. written and directed by Almodovar, Women on the verge... is a broad farce,...
A quick addition, mariser reminded me that my niece Sarah was totally taken with the HP Omnibook 600C. I had to over to their house as mariser's sister had a compact flash reader and I need to borrow it to move some files. This was some years ago. Sarah had never seen a laptop before but she knew...
The HP Omnibook 600C was released in the mid 90s. The interesting thing about it is what it is not. It not a calculator/PDA and it is not a fullsized laptop. It has a 9.5 inch display and weighs under 4 pounds. It is an early netbook! Of course there was no wireless...... Its basically a 486DX...
Oliver Stone is a blowhard. I think we can all agree there. he's not a very good director, notwithstanding the undeserved Oscar he got for a middle-of-the-road war movie, Platoon. one of the reasons I dislike his movies is Stone's tendency to beat the viewer over and over and over with a story's...
Right now, I'm sitting on the couch. Mr. LT is on the other end, with a conehead tuxie standing on him and kneading and purring. TK was trying to scratch his earz with him back foot a few minutes ago. Doesn't work, just click click click on the cone. Silly. HRT is still mightily annoyed that the...
Goatsucker! Nah, I'm not mean enough to go around insulting youse guyses. I'm just calling out for El Chupacabras. Old EC is what you would call your cryptid (shout out to Ogopogo, yo!). That means it's a creature what's existence has been suggested but for which no scientifical-type proof exists....
(I know, that doesn't make sense, and somewhere my HS Latin teacher is frowning) Anyway, Tuxboy is doing well. He's maneuvering around the house just fine, although he's having a little trouble getting into position for fud. This, of course, he's motivated to overcome. Him's sleeping more than usual...
Not a laptop, not a notebook, not a netbook but even smaller. The HP 200LX. Other models in the lineup include the original HP 95LX release in 1991 and the HP 100LX the immediate predecessor to the HP 100LX. The HP 95LX had a 1/4 CGA screen and thus was somewhat incompatible with the IBM XT. The HP...
Gee, I should have told my sister about my vox page years ago. She would have kept me in material several times a day. Hmmm, maybe that wouldn't have been such a good idea. Anyway, it sure is proving valuable for NaBloPoMo. I think I should get her a present for all of her help. But sis, just don't...
English title: Aguirre, the Wrath of God. heretofore referred to as Aguirre Aguirre is Werner Herzog's 3rd movie and the first he made with Klaus Kinski - a collaboration that lasted 15 years and six films. Kinski was a brilliant actor, no doubt; yet of the 100+ movies he starred in, we most...
Sloths, in case you hadn't guessed. Three-toed sloth and Two-toed sloth The sloth is the world's slowest mammal, so sedentary that algae grows on its furry coat. The plant gives it a greenish tint that is useful camouflage in the trees of its Central and South American rain forest home. Sloths are...
Today we have an HP87XM and the first casualty of NaBloPoMo. Yep my right knee buckled and I dropped it as I was taking it out of the shed. Luckily, the damage seems to be just one crystal. So it should be an easy fix as soon as I find a replacement. Anyway, the HP87XM was the highest development of...
While TuxBrat was at the vet's for 3 days and nights, Miss HRTortie enjoyed having the house and the people to herself. Lots of talking, purring, and playing. She got to play all by herself with the fabulous cat dancer toy: And do the Tortie Wiggle for Fabulous Daddy: Floofy fun for
