I'd settle for a really good Tape recorder

We sold the big Ampeg, sorry.

A really nice 3D printer would be nice. I'd print food.

Maybe it's me, but too often I have a little bit of sick in my mouth from reading threads these days. There are a number of really quite disturbing posters here now.

Watching TV with my eight-year-old earlier, and an add for "Miracle Hair" comes on.

"Dad! You should totally get that!"

Thank you, thank you my dearest and only daughter . . . .

Today is our 43rd Wedding Anniversary (and we married late by the standards of our contemporaries!).

It's no big deal. As usual, some of the day will be helping our children and grandchildren. Later we're doing the fortnightly shop and household chores.

But tomorrow? No kids. No grandchildren. We're going out for the day and out for an evening meal. Shame that the weather forecast locally isn't great, but an uninterrupted day just for us is rare.

Today is our 43rd Wedding Anniversary (and we married late by the standards of our contemporaries!).

Our 36th is coming up in a couple months (and we married even later, 2nd time around for both of us). Right after The Day, which celebration will lack relatives, we'll head on a six-week drive around the USA Southwest with some week-long layovers as well as shorter stays: Reno NV, Great Basin NP, Zion NP, Durango CO, Taos & Santa Fe & Albuquerque & Zuni NM, the Hopi mesas, the Red Rock country of Sedona AZ, Grand Canyon NP, Las Vegas NV, Death Valley NP, Yosemite NP, and back home.

We're already familiar with much of this area and we have a few stops planned just to trade in Native American arts and crafts. There are new styles of Zuni jewelry and fetishes, and Hopi pottery and kachinas, and Navaho weavings, that we don't have samples of yet. We just missed the big All-Nations Pow-Wow and Market that ends today in Albuquerque (see schedule here) but that's just as well, we'd have overextended ourselves. Some opportunities are best missed.

Happy Anniversary, Og. Mine's coming up this Saturday. I'm surprising her with a night out. She thinks I haven't found a babysitter, but I have.

Thank you.

Congratulations to you two.

Babysitters? My children don't need babysitters. They have grandparents to do that.

I am both anxiously awaiting and dreading when that day comes . . . .

One of the nicest things as a newly-minted grandparent (in my experience) comes at that time when you can hand the baby back to it's parents - (your kids), so they can change the nappy.

The Somerset County Sheriff's Office in Maine cuffed burglary suspect Christopher Wallace this Sunday, following an extraordinary burst of Snapchat buffoonery from the 24-year-old.

Several weeks ago the police department made it known that they were seeking Wallace in connection with a burglary. They had been unable to locate him after recovering a stolen propane stove at his home.

In what police-dodging hackers would describe as an end-user vulnerability, the fugitive took to Snapchat to reveal he had returned to his home on Sunday night.

The sheriff's office was duly tipped off and two local police officers, alongside two others from the nearby Fairfield PD, made their way to the residence. A search of the premises, however, failed to turn up Wallace.

While the officers were winding down their search, Wallace took to Snapchat again to say that police were searching for him in the house and bragged that they hadn't found him as he had hidden in a cabinet.

Again, the sheriff's office received phone calls. They took to Facebook to explain what happened next:

"A search of the kitchen cabinets turned up some food, some pots and pans, and also a pair of feet. The pair of feet just so happened to be attached to a person, and that person was Christopher Wallace. He was removed from the cabinet, and placed under arrest."

In a 2014 report, the Electronic Frontier Foundation awarded Snapchat a single star (out of a possible six) for its lax protection of user data from government requests. We reckon that the EFF didn't take end-users' stupidity into account. "

Now why wouldn't i pay that fuel oil bill?

Maybe because I don't use fuel oil and I don't live in the UK?

Some crooks are obviously lost or quite stupid.

I think I've found a disc with my earliest erotic story on.

I started it in 1986, and drastically edited it in 2002. I want to go back to the earlier version and see if it is salvable as a historic document.

The problem?

It's on a 5.25 inch 360k floppy for an IBM XT. In the loft I do have an early Pentium computer with 5.25 inch and 3.5 inch drives. I'll have to drag it out, set it up and see if I can transfer the WS2000 file.

I cannot remember if my old PC has a 5.25" drive. . .

Stop talking such filth the pair of you

My first PC ran CP/M. I was delighted to upgrade to an IBM XT with a massive 10mb hard drive and a 360k floppy drive.

Somewhere I still have an 8 inch floppy, and the IBM punch cards I used when in charge of an IBM mainframe in 1963...

I have a reel to reel paper tape drive if you want to upgrade.

I just donated one of the prototype duel sided 8 inch 720K floppy drives I helped design and build back in the early 70's to a computer museum in California. One of the most secure and top secret project I can remember working on. Two weeks after we showed it at a computer show, three Japanese companies had one just like it on the market.
