I always want to get into EVE Online and then I feel lazy and forget about it.

So, I've installed this J2ME emulator on my phone and... I almost forgot how crappy a lot of those mobile games used to be. I mean, they were very expensive like my phone bill would inflate like nobody's business. There are some that are good like a Bomberman port I tried but they are hard to control with virtual buttons on a touchscreen ^^U. I'm not a fan of virtual buttons on touchscreens.

I think I should start using tags on Mastodon. I see people use them but I never do. Is it a requirement?

I've just assembled my first shelf! Wooohooo! I know it's silly but I am so proud of myself :). My mom's been wanting to have a new shelf in the basement for ages and I wanted to surprise her. Can't wait to see her reaction!

When I look back, it kinda bothers me to think I've never used Netscape Navigator when I was a whippersnapper. Even though I admired that browser. Those peeps were brilliant and IE was... well, IE. It just happened to come with Windows 95. I was an early user of Firefox though. Just about the time I discovered Linux.

Is editing a program's source code and seeing what happens a good way to learn programming?

I know it's not a good idea to talk about your private life on the Internet but I guess I need to get this out of my system. Other than my GF (Who I love dearly) I talk to nobody so I stay most of the time locked inside my room with just me and my thoughts. Really and truly, I only have one friend, a very good friend actually but we never talk. It's been to long since we talked. I hope we are still friends. So these days, I've been feeling very lonely.

I just made a really tiny stupid Sonic 2 for the Sega Master System mod while learning ASM :).

Tea is currently learning Zilog Z80 assembly

Although I just had the first 3 disks of "Pintaguay" ^^U. I never had the complete collection. It's funny though because when my uncle got his first computer (A 386) I installed Pintaguay on his computer and at first he was a bit reluctant about it (It's a kids program, I don't want this) but he started using it to make covers for his VHS tapes of his music band :D. And then he lent the floppies to my other uncle and he started using Pintaguay too! hahaha. Aaaah nostalgia :).

I got to admit, it was a very sweet collection of little programs for a kid circa 1996 :). Like, you could create your own magazine, VHS and cassette tape covers, make your own web and edit HTML, create movie databases, keep track of your expenses, create your own EBOOKS, calendars, greeting cards, animations, presentations, fairy tales... LIke, I can't enumerate all of them off the top of my head but you could do a lot!

Pintaguay is one of the 6 programs included in this course :). There was also "Letraguay" a word processor, "Ordenata" a databese program, "Calculata" an excel-like program, "Multimedia" a program like PowerPoint for presentations and also (A few years later) "Webguay" for creating your own website :D. It also included other programs like: Lotus Approach, Lotus 1-2-3, Lotus Organizer, Lotus WordPro and Photofinish.

I just found again a paint program I loved when I was a whippersnapper :). After so many years searching for it, like, I didn't imagine this little program would be so rare! It's called "Pintaguay" and it was a part of a weekly course called "Curso IBM de informática junior" :). So I've installed a VM and here's what I made with it :D.

Anyone here has experience with eGPUs?

What do y'all think is better for installing Windows 3.1? VMware or PCem?
