Mastertronic on the C64.

My zombie brain is my pair programmer. This happens to me so frequently that it no longer surprises me and I now chill and let my sub conscious work it out.

I had an issue like this, I actually shelled into the docker container and found that the process to upgrade was running but had stalled. So I killed it and then made a new request and it worked.

Ahh… This looks like the sort of work flow I’ve been looking for, thanks for letting me know about it :)

Oh man, I totally forgot about Trillian. The days where everything was heading towards XMPP then it all exploded away from it again.

For us Gen-X’ers it was the age old, “I don’t use MSN chat, I use ICQ, someone else uses Yahoo chat.” Pidgin helped in those days.

I found my first gen iPod last week, the gen 1 with the spinning wheel and firewire maxed at 5 gig.

I loved using Tangram but there was an update months ago that changed how the tab column on the left hand side worked. It started taking up a quarter of the view, which wasn’t great. So I stopped using it.

I discovered Ferdium recently and am happy with that.

Also, the export favourites function is pretty useless. It exports a sqlite db but there’s no visible way to import this into another copy of Magic Earth.

I replaced my Garmin sat nav with an old android phone using Magic Earth and it’s great for the most part. However, even after updating the maps last week, on our recent holiday around Scotland it wanted to send us up through a ‘new’ housing estate to get to the other side. Unfortunately, the main road was now closed off and then it was trying to get me to drive through someones living room to get back to the main road. The map kind of showed new housing estate roads but not to the scale of this development.

I think it even used the same 60’s style sound effect when it worked too.

Damn, I had no idea. I’ve been emailing stuff to myself and having it check my email to handle uploads from my phone. Cheers :D

I’m using Shiori as my Pocket replacement, seems to do what I need.

If you are using Docker to set it all up, then there is a Docker image for Transmission & OpenVPN called haugene/transmission-openvpn. It’s what I’ve been using, if you’re using something NordVPN then you tell it your login credentials and it works. I’ve been using it with PIA and had no issues.
