[T]here isn’t, today, an equivalent of the SGI Indy, or the Sun SPARCstation, or the DEC Alpha, or any of the other professional workstations. The only thing that’s on offer is more of the same user experience, only slightly faster. That’s why computers are so boring these days.
I read the word Border and first thing that comes to my mind is the 1997 iconic film that I’d watched on the verge of turning a teenager. It, for a long time, defined what a war movie is and had a song that describes the pain of a soldier better than any movie ever could.
Why’s there still no TV show around Harry Potter universe? I would love know a lot more about some brilliant characters. And species. In different genres. Like give me a sitcom on house-elves. I would watch that any day. There’s so much scope for fantastic stories.
I love winters because I love sweaters. Nothing can beat the comfort that a warm, cosy sweater lends on a chilly winter morning. Simple pleasures!
As the day fades away into the darkness, so does my hope of ending the day with a few items from my to-do (mostly a to-read/to-write) list ticked off. Such have been the last few festive months - it’s time now to slow down a little.
The statement “it’s not possible” is incomplete if not associated with either a subject or time. More often than not, it’s both. Generally, what’s not said but is implicit is “..for me, yet”.
Apple’s dependence on Intel is about to end, I guess? Or may be not for pros? One never know what’s being tested in the secret labs.
I drove to my native village today - a trip that I took a lot many times by a passenger train as a child. The travel was tiring, took hours and usually ended with a bullock cart ride as it got dark around. The drive was comfortable today, but the travel wasn’t as much fun.
Memories, happy & sad - something I never knew staying stuck at home would ever form. The pandemic has enlightened me. Exotic locations are optional - one just need to feel inside.
In a galaxy far far away, there is a beacon being launched in search of life on other planets. They are launched often.
We call them shooting stars ๐
