A view from Twin Peaks

We found ourselves in the city with time on our hands, but no money. Mei had not been to Twin Peaks. I fixed that.

I was mucking with Gimp. The fog looks like smog.

The 10,000th image captured on my Canon SD630.

I applied techniques covered in the Gimp Selective Colorization Tutorial. The green in the foreground is as captured by the camera, but the rest was run through Colors > Auto > Equalize and then I tweaked the curves a bit to get more dramatic colors on the sky.

The original thing that caught my eye, of course, being the workmen updating the sign.

Commodore 64

Link: https://dannyman.toldme.com/2011/04/08/c64/

You never forget your first computer.

For Christmas of 1984, Grandpa gave us a
Commodore 64.  A couple years later we
got a disk drive, and eventually we even
had a printer.  Before the disk drive we
had to buy programs on cartridge, or
type them in to the basic interpreter
line by line.  Mostly I just played
cartridge games. 

Eventually we got a modem, and I could
talk to BBSes at 300 baud in 40 glorious
columns.  (Most BBSes assumed
80-columns.)  I was happier when I got a
1200 baud modem for my Amiga, which
could display 80 columns of text.

In my second year of college I 
discovered the joy of C programming on
Unix workstations, which led to my
present career as a Unix SysAdmin.  I
spend my days juggling multiple windows
of text, generally at least 80x24.  /djh

After reading about the brand new Commodore 64, I downloaded a font from style64.org and played around in my style sheet:


   **** COMMODORE 64 BASIC V2 ****

 64K RAM SYSTEM  38911 BASIC BYTES FREE

READY.
 


















Here is the stylesheet markup:

/* C= 64 */
@font-face {
    font-family: "C64_User_Mono";
    src: 
    url("C64_User_Mono_v1.0-STYLE.ttf")
    format("truetype");
}
DIV.c64_screen {
    background-color: #75a1ec;
    color: #4137cd;
    min-height: 25ex;
    width: 40em;
    padding: 3ex 6em;
    margin: 0;
}
.c64 {
    font-family: "C64_User_Mono", 
    monospace;
    background-color: #4137cd;
    color: #75a1ec;
}   

The text is wrapped in:

<div class=”c64_screen”><pre class=”c64″>
</pre></div>

Extra Crazy

Link: https://dannyman.toldme.com/2011/04/05/extra-crazy/

Tea Party? No, these guys make those guys look reasonable . . .

I was on my way home and saw these guys outside the Mountain View Post Office. I looked at the Obama-with-a-Hitler-moustache and figured the Tea Party had set up shop. I snapped a picture, and then this guy asked if I was worried about the solar flares.

Solar flares? Tea Party people don’t worry about solar flares . . . I smiled and approached: these guys were doing performance art! I told them solar flares are good for cooking.

“Obama isn’t doing anything to stop the solar flares,” he began to explain.

I saw the name LaRouche and realized these guys weren’t parodying the Tea Party: they were actually way further down the rabbit hole of crazy. “Well, he likes solar power,” I punted.

As the guy began to explain that we should be performing nuclear fusion ourselves I edged away. I am an impressionable young man with a sufficiently unconventional belief system: I don’t want to catch their crazy!
