  The back part of a DECwriter 3 is perfectly sized for #caturday.

  That was good. I did not see the "this is why we really bought you" twist coming. #Books #SciFi

  Considering Ice-T's past affiliation with the Crips, I don't think this is as neutral a criticism of the two parties as it seems at first. VOTE BLUE, NO MATTER WHO. VOTE CRIP, NO ORANGE WHIP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAbV0eV1zd8 #Music

  Based on the music video, I'm assuming the members of Shocking Blue met in 5th century Syria. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmW8IuaIdmQ #Music #Stylite

  I recently got a symmetric FIOS business line at home with a block of five static IPs, and started moving my web sites and email from the hosting company I've been using since... the 90s I think? over to my own servers. It's been fun. (It's REALLY weird for me to look at the public section of my core switch and think: that's OUT THERE. That's part of the public INTERNET! I have ALWAYS been behind NAT...) I was really worried about the various crypto cert...

  Anyone looking for some 90s workstation monitors? Mostly Sun, a few SGI. These plus two more not in photo. Generally in "probably working" condition, but untested. Located in Providence. Free. If you take them all, I'll throw in a Sun pizzabox of some sort. #RetroComputing

  Seventeen years ago! I bought this multi-million dollar hoard of Sun servers from a scrap yard for $300. After testing, fixing, and swapping parts to max out some of them, I traded a couple for an SGI Onyx for the museum, a few more for parts of what eventually became my personal 16-proc Origin-2000, and kept two as compute servers for my film making. (A maxxed-out E4000 has 14 x 400 Mhz UltraSparc II's, and 14 gig of ram (In 128meg sticks! Ha ha ha. Warm.)). #RetroComputing #SunMicrosyst...

  There is no airflow whatsoever inside the ROLM militarized version of the DG Nova, so the IC's and other components straddle metal bars that conduct heat to the edge of the board, and from there to outside the chassis. #Photography #RetroComputing #RCSRI

  This is all that remains of the entrance to an underground public bathroom from the 1910s. It's my favorite building in Providence. MORE FOLLYS! #ArtDeco #Architecture #Providence

  My current to-be-read-soon pile: (Unusual for me, only thing here I've read before is The Phantom Tollbooth. Usually I spend about 1/2 or 1/3 of my time rereading stuff I read in my 20s. On the other hand, Sol Yurick is the only new author for me in this set.) #Books

  One question about Artemis I haven't seen discussed anywhere: how many cats are included in the Artemis 2 mission? Did each crew member bring their own cat, or is there just one assigned to the ship as a whole? (Are there sufficient hiding spots in the ship? Napping space by the windows?) #Artemis
