I ran a BBS in San Diego in the middle to late 80's. It was one of the earlier boards in the area to go to 2400 baud. That was when USRobotics offered a discount on 2400 baud courier modems to BBS Sysops.

The board was originally on an Apple //e and the whole thing ran on 2 5.25 inch floppy drives. In 1987 I got an Apple IIgs and the whole board ran off of a single 800k 3.5 inch floppy drive.

I'm dismissing one source of vitamin B2 because, in part, the site says the supplement is used for head cavity disorders. Just sounds weird.

Well, they'll get undiscarded if they continue to sit at the top of the dosage heap. Still sounds weird.

Torture yourself with an optical illusion. I can do what the poster says, but not on purpose. I look away, I look back, sometimes it's reversed.

I am freaked. It just switched directions on me. I'll have to take the post at its word that nothing changed.

How many of you who don't consider yourselves computer geeks know what RSS is and use it at least once a week? If you use a feed in LJ, this may be you.

Me.

First knew of the internet in '85 or '86, but didn't really dive in until '89 or '90. Which was still pre-Endless September, let alone web, so I'm'a desperately cling to my Older Than Dirt pretense*.

amych and I are both older than dirt apparently. I remember being on BBSes back in the day. Got my first GEnie email address in 90? 91?

Dammit. Now I'm poking through the stupid optical illusion site. Which has an RSS feed...

Must say, this image from this post is nifty.

And now I must back away smoothly and slowly from that site, lest it entrap me further.

Technical question which belongs outside of Buffistechnology: How many of you who don't consider yourselves computer geeks know what RSS is and use it at least once a week? If you use a feed in LJ, this may be you.

Me. Though I don't actually know what RSS stands for. Except maybe there's a syndication in there.

Which was still pre-Endless September

Hey, you learn something new every day!

Though I don't actually know what RSS stands for. Except maybe there's a syndication in there.

You're right on target, actually -- it stands for several things, some of which have a syndication in there. (Really Simple Syndication, or Rich Site Summary, or RDF Site Summary, or RDF Syndication Specification...).

Yes! You and the guy that ran our board no doubt communicated with each other. I didn't run the board at our place. I just checked it out often. We still used the old courier modems for faxes long after they were obsolete. They never died.

Kind of makes me miss the days when computers were mostly fun and not so much work for me.

I'm not a tech geek and my blog has an RSS feed, and I use a feed for some stuff, when I remember to subscribe.
