And congrats on the living wage part. That’s a serious achievement. To do it through your writing is persistent and praiseworthy. So, congratulations, brother!
My vet still uses a CRT in his office. He recently had to hire a new receptionist, and the first girl only lasted a couple of weeks. The first girl couldn't handle the non-graphical interface.
My Dad was partially responsible for, if not creating, at least perpetuating the Y2K bug. He got into computer programming in the mid-'50s, when saving two bits of memory was worth it. Also, any time you wanted a computer to do something, you wrote new code from scratch. The idea that programs would be copied onto new machines was years in the future, by which time the practice of abbreviating years was second nature.
In terms of Mickey Mouse, only the original version from Steamboat Willie is in the public domain; I'm sure the Disney lawyers will go after anyone trying to create content with the more modern-looking Mickey (the shirtless one with the red pants); it was similar to what happened with Winnie the Pooh last year; you can do stuff with the original drawings, but can't do the one where Pooh is wearing the red shirt. The lawyers are gonna be pretty busy this year, for sure...
I thought you quit drinking? Sounds like you’re having too much fun already!😉
Huh?

A Canticle for Leibowitz was an amazing book.

Hope 2024 is even a better year for you. Maybe more money AND less pain.
