Year: 2021 (Page 2 of 2)

In my school reading today, I came across the topic of the failure of the IBM PC Jr. My family once had one of these. It was not our first computer, however. That had been the Tandy/Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer, with 16K RAM and Extended Color BASIC. I believe I was around 9 years old at that time. On that computer, I learned to code. At that time, BASIC used line numbers and was a different language from that we now know.

For the first time in a long time, I began planning my work for the upcoming quarter. Grad school has been quite a bit more labor-intensive than I’d have hoped.

Yesterday, I spent a good deal of time doing homework. When I thought I was done, I immediately found out that I had just completed the preliminary part of the assignment. And that is apart from the group project my group will start on tonight.

That’s so odd, considering the forecasts of right-wing nuts and the media who insist on constantly giving these cranks a platform. Somehow, the lizard people (or whoever the subject is for the current conspiracy theory) have prevailed for 11 days so far. Doubtless the right-wing loons’ savior (“Q” at the moment, but subject to change without notice) will give reasons why the overthrow is taking so long. I guess we’ll just have to see what that is.
