    Fun twist on time travel, but also I think this might have worked better as a novella in some places, a play in others, a few short stories, an X-Files episode or something like that, etc. I don’t remember why I picked this up, used (in retired-library-book plastic sheathing even) or when. It’s been on my “to read” pile for a year or so. I’m probably going to drop my copy in a little free library rather than keep it.

  9. This is really neat to me. Back in the 00s I made this a feature of my personal site and the leftovers make for weird historcial artifacts now 20-25 years later.

    I irreversibly destroyed the entire archive in a imagemagick shell script mistake at some point but I still have a few that survived elsewhere.

    screenshot of what looks like how I sent a friend tickets to see mitch hedberg at the baltimore improv in 2002. The OS is probably gentoo (the gkrellm kernel version is 2.4.19-gen something?) and I’m using the (kick ass imo) k10k theme for e17, the browser looks like firefox an IE5 theme for some reason? It also looks like I used an eterm window to take the shot, minimized all of my other windows to the bottom left, and have four virtual desktops w/ a ninjatune wallpaper on half of them.

    another e17, k10k theme shot with pine, irc, an eterm, no gkrellm, two virtual desktops, circa 2002. in IRC we’re talking about mozilla themes, and my old blog self-written and terrible php blog is open to a post from 2002 about a show being canceled. The code for the blog is open in a vim window in another eterm?

  10. Sat in a chair I don’t normally sit in while reading a book and was reminded that I took our nazar eye (🧿) that my sister picked up for us while visiting Turkey and brought it downstairs, attached a metal hook to the sliding glass patio door, stashed the nazar somewhere to keep safe while the adhesive bonded to the door, and have been unable to find the nazar ever since.

    The hook is still there, with nothing attached, a few years later. I’ve looked everywhere. Gonna buy a new one.
