Flying Squid

I was probably using computers when you were still in your mom’s ovaries. My first one was an Apple ][+ in 1982.

Starving yourself to lose weight works. It’s also stupid.

Mathematicians are weird enough that at least one of them has done calculations in base-pi.

Maybe it knows something about pi we don’t.

It’s infinite yet ends in a 9. It’s a great mystery.

I used to tell people that John McAfee always exited a room by jumping through a window while yelling, “MCAFEE RULES!” Which he didn’t, but maybe he did? Anyway, I miss that crazy motherfucker. Sometimes nuts make the world more fun.

Adobe pulls that shit too.

And it’s really easy to not really think about what you’re doing and accidentally save to the cloud.

Then later wonder what the fuck happened to the file you spent three hours on when you came back from lunch.

Fucking Adobe.

Because most people are not anywhere near as computer literate as much of Lemmy would have you believe.

You know that scene in Who Framed Roger Rabbit where Donald and Daffy Duck are both playing the same song on individual pianos while trying to kill each other? Yeah.

Not that I remember.

She meant she could figure it out just playing around with it, not reading a manual or asking around. I told her she’d have to read a manual.

My daughter told me the other day, “I bet I could figure out a Commodore 64 if I had one.”

Good luck figuring out LOAD “*”,8,1 by yourself, kid.

Captain’s log, stardate…

It wasn’t what made me quit, I’m just glad that I don’t have to deal with that shit because I’m not still playing.

I’ve tried a lot of musical instruments in my life and while I enjoyed the guitar for a couple of years, I just didn’t feel like I was ever going to be skilled enough on it to really enjoy it, so I moved on. And I didn’t like the calluses at all.

Lovely. Sort of makes me glad I gave up playing. That and no longer having calluses on my fingertips.

I haven’t played guitar in years, but tabs of virtually any song you can think of used to be really easy to find on lots of different free sites. Is that not true anymore?

Along with the even older philosophy of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

You don’t understand! If you don’t keep adding new features, people will stop using your app!

Who wants simple apps that just work as intended, am I right?

I just stay ‘fuck it’ and call them all Celtoi.

Too embarrassed to say “in the shower.”

Mexico knows what’s going on.

If we aren’t allowed to play around with our pee stream, what even is the point of having it come out of our penises?
