@Cdespinosa @pixel The plot thickens. “I bought this item at a charity auction during my trip to Munic at Christmas 2001. As you can see, the invoice is expressed in the old German currency, before the entry of the EURO.”

I think there’s a chance this story might be true — and this is a bamboozlee, not the original bamboozler.

Calling all Germans! @map

(But then again: if this person enjoys forging documents, this would be a fun one to forge.)

@cabel @Cdespinosa @pixel @map See, the problem with it all is it's missing the important characteristic of just plain silliness.

@cabel @Cdespinosa @pixel @map About the only thing I'd say about that is I have been approached many, many times.

And I say that publicly to leave obvious evidential crumbs I know full well would catch me so that I'm not actually tempted!

Two fictional characters go into a contraption and are merged together as the one person - you.

Which two make up you?

Commodore 128DD

Finding the unique-to-128DD keyboard is the hardest bit of getting a working setup.

Also, why isn’t there a nerd band called “Woz (not Woz)”?

Observations, medication day #5. Something kicked into high gear and I am awestruck again. What is this amazingness. Control over hyperfocus; control starting, stopping, and moving to whatever needs it.

I'm back to having no words.

I still tend to babble irl, I chatterbox constantly at to and with coworkers.

(If you mix equal parts ryan reynolds and she-hulk together and pour out a slightly less clever git you'd have me.)

Kind of surprised that hasn't stopped but I'm OK with that.

@reconbot same - though the work to keep in that state was a bit much at times.

If the chatterboxing hasn't stopped, one other thing has. I've had a habit of note taking EVERYTHING. Lists of lists of notes of details to go back through and remind myself what I was doing, and that I'd cross off at the end of a day or week and deal with anything forgotten. The pile of pads is a few months' supply. The written notes are a days' worth on a busy day.

I noticed today when reaching for a pad to take notes on a phonecall - I had not used one sheet & hadn't needed to, all week.

A pile of scribbled-on notes. Info about shopping, doc's appointments, notes on art to do, or not do, on threads to come back to, on car repairs - though the details are concealed by a photoshop filter, there are many many note sheets.

@gsuberland Yes! Until this week I'd had three major life-defining moments in my decades on earth. This is cemented so quickly as #4, I'm sure.

Something that blows my mind messing with old iPods is the longevity of some of the batteries. I just pulled this battery with a datecode of 2003-05-09 and I'd say it still holds a usable charge. Maybe not the same longevity as it had when new, but definitely still enough to pass muster and not necessitate replacement right now. Not even swelling a little bit.

Only replaced it because I found the corpse of my other 3rd gen and I forgot it had a low use battery on it, so I swapped it in.

@xodium Last time I charged my Wallstreet, with batteries from 1998 and 2000 (from memory) it still held 5-6 hours combined.

four other batteries I've had keeled over in the '00s

@Yendolosch oh I don’t. I ran screaming from web work in the nineties. I’m occasionally still thankful for that choice.

Apple recommended keeping the Macintosh Horizontal Product’s key switch locked in the On position for user safety.

@imikoy I'm not too sure anyone's been game enough to find out, or has survived the experience.

@darryl_ramm It's 200mm long and only the far right hand edge is used for a single small battery indicator.

If I were to go hunt down an old ThinkPad as the one ThinkPad for my collection, given the Wallstreet PowerBook is one of my ever-favourites, what year & model should I be hovering around?

As I just posted elsewhere online:

“Oh my fucking god is this how thinking should work?!? What the hell. What the fuck. You all didn’t have this all the time did you? And not tell me?”

First adhd medication dose. This is really, really clear.

@ajlanes Life is absurd, to get from here to there we should be able to quantum tunnel through that hill.
