I guess I’m “middle aged” now even though I still feel like I’m 25 inside my brain. I’m a life long techie and geek that used to be a Systems Engineer for the Bass Pro Shops and Cabelas websites.

@Cara thank you for making me chuckle and smile this morning. I have never heard a sleepover narrated quite like that. 😂

It’s such a joy that you can finally use the Delta emulator on iOS without extra work.

I’ve not played Tetris since I was a preteen and this score would have displeased my younger self. It doesn’t matter since I was grinning like a fool the whole time.

It’s great to relive parts of your life where you were just enjoying the moment!

I wish people would stop calling those toxic self-identified “gamers” as gamers because it’s clear they don’t even like video games.

If they did, they would actually play video games instead of hating on the developers who make them and harassing their families.

Call these people for what they are: right wing extremists. And they’re doing what right wing extremists have always done, which is attack creators that make art and culture.

@atomicpoet I’ll stay over here happily playing through my various games. 😅

I think I've narrowed down my small backpack search to the Aer Go Pack 2, Aer Pro Pack Slim, and the Fjallraven Ulvo. Any opinions, particularly around how small they pack and how well they protect your laptop, gimme 😛

@christianselig the smallest bag I have current is this one: https://www.sfbags.com/collections/bags/products/essential-laptop-backpack. I absolutely love it and use it daily.

gatewayy,
@gatewayy@mastodon.gatewayy.net avatar

@christianselig No, it is probably not the flattest bag available. I have never bought specifically with flat packing in mind. I was going for protection of my laptop along with weight and efficient use of space when I purchased it.

This is a really interesting piece on a viral part of the Internet's backbone. I used to work for an ISP and I recall having to call angry customers in Hawaii about their indefinite service interuption while we waiting for a cable repair ship to be sent.

Does anyone have an idea of what library/framework/whatever Windows Live Messenger is using? I know a lot of applications in that era used custom made user interfaces, but I don't know what frameworks they are using.

I know the Windows API is not flexible enough to do that kind of stuff by itself.

gatewayy,
@gatewayy@mastodon.gatewayy.net avatar

@enigmatico it used the .Net framework of that era if I recall correctly.

I know ow they used to offer a stand alone application (they might still) that you could purchase that allowed Enterprise customers to used their Office GUI and add backend code. I see it all the time in applications like Epic used by the hospital system for all of my doctors. I can’t remember what the heck it was called.

Is this what you’re after, or am I misunderstanding? 😎

@enigmatico

I think it was a GUI for creating Ribbon/Windows Presentation Foundation apps from like ‘07 or so?

gatewayy,
@gatewayy@mastodon.gatewayy.net avatar

@enigmatico Gotcha, it's hard to remember that far back this early in the morning. I have not thought about VC++ in ages. XD

I hope you are able to hunt down what you are after.

Its understandable if some people prefers prebuilts, but dont buy an OEM. Buy a prebuilt one with standard components. Preferably with a standard ATX case and motherboard.

@enigmatico they had those annoying proprietary screws when I was a computer tech I. high School. 😣

For all the #shortcuts experts out there. Is it possible to have your podcast listening history via a third party player such as @overcastfm show up as Journaling suggestions.

Jewish-German refugee genius and movie star Hedy Lamarr was a self-taught science genius who invented and patented the frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology for missile guidance in WW2 that became the foundation of all of our wifi technology today.

Happy women's history month...

@IkeRosen I’ve always enjoyed her work! It’s awesome to know that she contributed greatly to such an essential technology!

Everlog has been my go-to journal app for years. With the addition of journaling suggestions and a couple of shortcuts, I’ve been able to use it to create something more than just a journal: a rich timeline of my life.

You can read all about it in the latest @club Monthly Log.

@devondundee
Do you know if it would be possible to automate what music you are listening to every day like you are doing with shows and movies? This timeline idea has actually got me journaling again and hopfully it will stick with me. :)

I found a free and open source alternative to AirDrop called LocalSend! It works with Windows, macOS, Android, and even Linux! Join me as I test it on every platform and see if I can transfer a file to every platform using this app!

@technotim it appears that his instance is suspended on a good portion of the fediverse so I’ll have to reach him another way.
