Or not. But it could be if I wanted it to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’m trying to put in my old OD entries here. If I wasn’t broke (still), it’s the sort of task where an AI agent would be pretty adept, I think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I started writing there in July 1999. I’m into September, now. It’s not going particularly quickly, but I’;ll get through it. The first batch of entries, I was fumbling around trying to do horizontal rulers between comments. The way that old site worked, you could do tons of stuff with formatting to embed HTML, etc. I also had a tendency to hide things by setting the text color to the same as the background. The ASCII outputs end up stripping a lot of that away, but there’s nothing that’s really all that embarrassing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My wife was surprised by some of it; “you were a jerk.” Yeah. I still am in many respects, but I try not to be. And, yes, you were thirteen when I wrote those things at nineteen. No, I would have judged you as too young, then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I didn’t talk about the Twi^H^H^HX<\/strong> post yesterday with the 60 year-old TV host and hist fortysomething wife showing another positive pregnancy test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a bit interesting reviewing stuff from just before the Y2K rollover. It’s strange, really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After momentary nostalgia, it takes me a big to get the bigger picture. No, lots of things in 1999 actually sucked. I’m fumbling around figuring out how to get down to Mississippi. Not only are the airfares, even with TRUMP’S WAR OF CHOICE<\/strong> (because he’s Netanyahu’s lapdog..and if you believe those sorts of things, please stop reading) is something that i can figure out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m stopping now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Or not.
