They say big trucks are just a reality if you want to make deliveries in the city.

I say there's other ways to solve the "last-mile" problem...

There's your beer kegsโ€”sorted.

โ€œThatโ€™s when Neil looked at the coin counter meter. it read โ€œ000001โ€:

And, sitting in the coin bucket was a single coin; a quarter dated 1983.โ€

Ya know what? I'm gonna toot my own horn today On Here Specifically.

I have already received at least a dozen thankful comments/replies for letting people know they can slow down door closers. A lot of people have been living with irritating bangs in apartment buildings and whatnot.

And thanks to watching a YouTube video, their life is now better. I didn't sell anything to them, I just decided to share some knowledge in my own (hopefully entertaining) way.

After playing through The Crimson Diamond by @JuliaMinamata, I just had to see the game's gorgeous EGA artwork on a real CRT! So I took a couple screencaps from the game, nearest neighbor scaled them down and cropped them to 320x200, converted to PCX and copied them over to my IBM PC/AT on floppy disk. This is a real EGA monitor and you can see the beautiful scanlines. Now I can imagine what it'd be like to play the game on an old PC back in the day. store.steampowered.com/app/109

Printer refused to print until I'd changed the cyan toner - even though I specifically requested a monochrome print.

Good: Links LS runs on my Toshiba Libretto!
Bad: Links LS requires a screen res of 800x600, and the Libretto only does 640x480. So all the UI (swing meter and all) is pushed off screen where I can't see to click on it.

every ROM of the Arabic MSX clone the Sakhr computer has been dumped and emulated, available in the browser at file-hunter.com/Arabic/

not sure if ive shared this before but its an incredible resource

Got this neat guy for 5 USD at a Goodwill - they'd put it out in the Toys section. It's a Phillips Nino 500, running Windows CE 2.11, from 1999. Amazingly it still boots as soon as I've got batteries in it, and even communicates with my other WinCE device, but its lack of Windows Explorer makes installing software very difficult, as it can't show me the contents of internal storage or of the inserted CF card. I need to figure out how to Active Sync it - which means finding a cable that works. ๐Ÿ˜ž
