My Computing Journey – Part 3 – The x86 Era

This actually get a bit hazy here for actual computer models, and I spent a bit of time browsing through Vintage Packard Bell machines to see if I could figure out which machines cover this era of my computing. This would have been somewhere between 1991 and 1995, give or take a bit, after we moved across town when I was 11-12-ish and before we moved to Indiana for a bit when I was 14-15ish. I am not positive if there were one or two PCs in this era, there was either one 286 (for sure, for reasons I'll touch…

Weekly Wrap Up (08.13.2023 to 08.19.2023)

Another week of Blog Posts done, I'm in the home stretch now for Blaugust. I can assure you, and myself, that I will not be keeping up this pace. For a variety of reasons, probably most of which I will mention in a wrap-up post on the 31st. But what about this week. The big event this week was going to see Alanis Morissette. I also had some overnight work at work, which I don't usually have, which has thrown my whole schedule off, not that I am not tired, basically, all the time, already. Something fun that came out…

Sigrid – Sucker Punch

It's possible, that at some point, I am legally required to talk about this album (not really). I don't listen to a ton of Sigrid currently, though I have not moved on or anything, there is just so much other I want to listen to. I also probably burned myself out on Sigrid listening to her TOO MUCH. Her album, Sucker Punch still has a special place. I've always been into music, but I've never really been, ACTIVELY into music. I'm not any level of "hardcore" or anything, but there was kind of a perfect storm moment around me discovering…

Cat Tax Day

I'm all off this week thanks to screwy work and an extra post and just a general chaotic time. So I'm going to do a bit of a filler day and fulfill the "Cat Tax" for Blaugust. Against my better wants, we have 7 cats. We have the space and the people, but personally, 7 is too many. Also, they don't always get along. At the moment, two of them we have to keep separate at all times, which is a pain, shuffling them between which is locked up in a room and which is not. If we don't they…

Music Monday – Science-ish Edition

Let's see how long I can manage to keep up a vague theme for these posts. This week I wanted to throw out some videos with some fancy "science-y" themes. I use that in the vaguest since, because at least one is kind of a stretch but it's certainly nice to look at. Also, it's a bit "Music Monday-ish" as well, since it's Tuesday, because yesterday I posted about the Alanis Morrisette Concert. (Unless for some reason I didn't go and forgot to remove that line, wait, now I need to remove this line if it does happen....) Lusine -…
