Do I know any Center for Computing History volunteers who could do me a favour and dig in newspaper boxes in storage to look to see if they have a copy of an article to get a copy of.

NYC is opening 160 car-free (but treat-filled) streets and plazas to enjoy fun and safe fall festivities this spooky season. Find one near you at nyc.gov/trickorstreets.

Son just insulted me. "You have the awareness of a braindead chimp or a koala. koalas have the smoothest brains of any animal except you" :) Because I didn't notice that Bandit had sneaked out of the room while he was setting up his insulin shot

Almost the 39th anniversary of an extremely "lucky" 34 day period between October 15th to November 18th 1987 where I missed 2 possible life altering/life ending events by fluke and grouchiness. #greatstormof1987 #kingscrossfire

This morning I woke up with a weird question rattling around my head. "what do Québécois call Canada"* no idea why that question suddenly popped up but it did. Now i've fallen down a "what are countries called by portions of their population" rabbit hole. *it seems to be "Canada"

Just finished binging Tall Tales & Murder. Pretty good. I read the 1st 4 books of the 9 book Dublin Trilogy ages ago and imho they did a reasonable job of the 1st book

I really am dense sometimes. I just now realized that the "master" password system we wrote for an accounting suite 41 years ago was a TOTP system that used a calculator not a dongle It was to replace the hardcoded master pw that was number plate of our MD's car as too many people knew it was that

Jeez just got threatened with being sent to Dunstable*. Guess as i'm not going for a Burton or being sent to Coventry I didn't do anything really bad just a low level bad that requires a light exile. *and phew it's Dunstable not Brentwood/Basildon so there is that

Think a cult has moved in 2 doors down. they have a marquee in the back garden and every night at 6:30pm until 7:30pm about 40 people come out all wearing the exact same robes and lots of singing in a language i don't recognise then someone talks for about 15 minutes then they all disappear.

Was at a doctors appt at the hospital earlier and the doctor was being obnoxious and not actually listening to what I was saying and talking over me so I told him "To tell me the results I'll know what they mean as after all i did work on Harley Street years ago"

Woohoo son got a canvas letter for NYS Family Court. Got canvased once from the last list but he's 1800 places higher on the new list so should have a reasonable chance of getting hired before this list expires

A few years ago son took the NYS Court Assistants civil service exam and scored reasonably high. But only got called once just before the list expired but earlier this year he took the new Court Assistants civil service exam and just got his results. He's raised his position by nearly 1800 places.

I am an idiot. In the 1980s I worked as a pot boy at a local pub (The Oadby Owl) and there was an Aussie barman who for some reason always called me "Blue". I don't have red hair so I could never work out why.

I have to send several things from the US to the UK & France so want to check that although postage to those two countries is bloody expensive these days the recipients shouldn't have to pay anything more than a few currency units in duty if the value is < 100 currency units
