Was looking around at potential upgrades, since my PC is 6 years old, and I'm starting to feel the limit of 8gb of ram. Turns out there's nothing to be done except replace cpu/mobo/ram for over $400 with only marginal improvement except added ram capacity. Toooootally not worth it.

Yay, work week over! And no Saturday overtime! Don't know if I want to go to bed early to get started on my exciting weekend plans.

I still fondly remember This One Weird Trick that doubled your data storage capacity.

NY twitterverse yells at them to apologize and give it back.

Pangolins look like they want to ask you something but don't want to interrupt.

There are a lot of concepts I've known about and am running into lately that I can't fully comprehend enough to have opinions on. Like, I can try to research it to educate myself on it, but on the way in it gets kinda jumbled up or starts falling out again before I can get the whole picture.

There's this big roll-up door in the warehouse factory I work in that's not often used. Today it was open for ventilation. When I walked past, I could see bright blue sky. Cool spring air, with a touch of chill just enough to counter act the warmth of sun on skin. At the edge of the unused parking lot, a chain-link fence, then open grass field bordering the woods.

I had to turn back, back to the heat and the grease and the black dust of the factory. Back to work.

Being a cave troll locked deep inside a datacenter's backup tape storage vault was one of the best slacker jobs I've had. awoo.space/media/qB5AYw1zPoxCd

I dug through my old "furry" box to dig out my sketchbook. Convention badges, real paper comics, and... some pictures of my lifemate.

I knew I wanted to talk about that one of these days, but I didn't expect to get hit in the face with it.
Maybe later.

Here's that Transformers oc sketch I was talking about. I don't have a scanner anymore, so just a phone pic.

My first (and so far only) Transformers OC was a hard drive. In robot mode, it used the read/write head array as a claw weapon, and a platter as a shield. I have a bad sketch somewhere.

... specifically, it was a Western Digital 80gb 7200rpm ATA/100 8mb cache drive. Was super cutting edge at the time. I'm such a nerd. awoo.space/media/sH78__EmzIj8J awoo.space/media/BDE1pmR5eEZ2P

(you don't really explicitly *have* to play a gay orc, or even a particular gender, but funtimes with other orcs is crucial)

"This may be your last night alive. As the sun sets, you see the fires of the enemy on the horizon and think of the life you've spent alongside the other orcs here. Can you tell them how you really feel, here at the end of everything?"

Oh, suddenly reminded of this old MMO-user-base targeted ad:
