Thankful Thursday

[mdlbear]

Today I am thankful for...

• The staff at WhidbeyHealth General Hospital.
• GOOD DRUGS.
• Hopefully, a new pair or two of glasses soon.
• bash, sed, and cut.
• And finally, Linux Journal, for 25 years of Linux journalism. Nice try -- I wish it could have been longer.

Huh. I heard it had died two years ago, and never realized that it was back.

[mdlbear]

Yeah; they came back for a couple of years, but never quite managed to get back on their feet once they used up their infusion of cash. Sad. Details on the site.

Do'Ha' -- Unfortunate. (Klingon)

See The Last Bug (the poem that inspired the last verse of "Bugs".

He died at the console

Hollerith cards have 12 rows, numbered (from top to bottom) 12, 11, 1, 2, ..., 9. "Face down, nine edge first" describes how to load a card reader.

[kellan_the_tabby]

I use it as a mnemonic to remember how to load the business card paper into my printer, even though it's not entirely accurate for that.

Okay, there was a silver lining to that final cloud... the editor is also a c-level at Purism. Their open-source-only phone is on my wishlist...

I am glad that Colleen is doing well... my Colleen (Bees) is well too.
