I picked up a copy of the Klutz book back in the 1980s. I think it was their first publication, and it got me started. Their YoYo book was also a fun time.
On a related note, why is Netflix's interface so locked down? Why would it be bad for me to turn off autoplay for trailers? Why can't I say "never show me this show again, I'm never going to watch it"? And why, in this…
Second that, it's the right mix of paint and gimp for me most of the time.
Got a Dell latitude 7420, wiped Windows 11 off it, installed Ubuntu, and I was happily surprised that everything just worked.
I was waiting to see the output of the macro:)
I really wish the Apple presenters would stop waving their arms... since I noticed they were doing it, I can't stop seeing it:)
Second this - I think part of being a programmer is having a really hard head that stands up to being banged against that wall, over and over, until the thing you're trying to make work works:)
Man, I was just getting started in Fusion 360! Bummer!

I set up Confluence and used it a lot for "how to do this" and "how to do that" notes for myself. It was helpful to me, and I figure that it MIGHT be helpful to other people. It doesn't HURT to have the information…
Three great programmer virtues, according to Larry Wall: 1. Laziness (figure a smart way to do it that is less work) 2. Impatience (figure how to do it faster) 3. Hubris (figure that what you're doing is important)
Ah, Trumpet Winsock - and then Windows 95 spoiled that party!:)
Kuhn or bust!:)
Laugh-a while you can, monkey-boy.
I'm in Ontario, too, and couldn't get my PD from Laurier Optical. So I left, went on Amazon, and bought a PD Distance Measurer for a couple of hundred bucks. Did my whole family, and now my wife feels better about…
Just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work over the years!
I realize I may be out of touch (pushing 50) with the current state of things, but I keep asking myself "What right do I have to expect a Company (that I pay no money to) to provide me with access to their service?"
