My daughter´s Samsung smarphone is dying and she asked me for an iPhone. Interesting because she has never considered switching to iPhones before. I believe it´s because almost all of her friends at university own iPhones… What´s next? A MacBook?

A bit of nostalgy today. Things I miss:

  • Sliding rule;
  • Texas Instruments calculators (early 1980s)
  • Sinclair computers, from ZX80 to ZX Spectrum;
  • Apple IIc;
  • Casio BOSS PDAs;
  • Palm Pilot;
  • MSX computer;
  • Multimedia Kits;
  • BBS;
  • Basic, Pascal, Forth;
  • Geocities.

My daughter just arrived home with 2 more tattoos. It’s her body, she follows her mind but, for me, the other two she already had were enough.

RPN always! No standard calculators here and I’m extremely jealous of my HP calculators (11C and 12C).

In January, 2022, I put my online store on vacation mode and it was a disaster, no customers orders for many weeks after. This year I took my laptop to the beach with me not to miss any opportunities - much better!

My wife is a professional calligrapher, this is one of her recent work.

I have just discovered that one of my printers, the Epson L14150, has a maintenance box that must me replaced when it’s full of ink. An unexpected cost, that I may need to consider from now on.

In the past I used to use Twitter, Medium, Reddit, Feedly and Instagram.

Now I keep all these plus micro.blog, social.lol, status.lol and now.garden.
