It's totally normal for rocket thrust to appear like glitter.

ISB I was a big fan of Space: 1999 way back in the day, but I watched a couple
of episodes from Series 2 on UK Armed Forces TV during a recent business trip,
and have to admit they were crap. I remember Series 1 being much better,
though I'm not confident my memory will stand up to rewatching.
Same for UFO, which my memory placed even higher than Space: 1999. Good model
work, but the plot was too wonky of me to enjoy anymore. Surprisingly dark
for a 1970s TV show.

Netflix has Stargate Universe available. I'm moving through those now. I think
it's a great story. I really like the characters. I hear there's effort to
bring it back but I'm not sure about that. Some story lines are best told in
just a few seasons before the writers run out of original ideas and the
audience get bored.

Replace the capacitors in your Commodore computers and make sure to
upgrade to new power supplies!

If I told you it was possible to run a Commodore Vic 20 with 1MB of RAM
and 8MB of flash rom would you think I was nuttier than Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez?

What about a wifi modem that worked on the VIC and the 64?

Or that there are scores of BBSs out there that aren't grex?

So now, we are losing work and by April 2020 I'll be out of work and
probably be laid off. No fun. But if there is a severence that is
decent then it might be okay. And I can apply for another job. Or I
can try to stay where I'm at but I still would need to apply for job
on some other project. I hope I can hang in here for another couple
years. But we'll see.

Synchterm will allow Windows (and many other operating systems) to
communicate with BBSs that have full CGTerm Commodore 64 PETSCII
support.

It's really neat. I wish PETSCII was embraced by all terminals!

Re. 140: Good luck! The company I joined a year ago
seems to be struggling too but there's very little
technology work within commuting range and I'm not really
qualified for anything else. I'll just do the best job I can
until I can find something else.

Thanks, Andy. It might not be much of an interview, but it all depends
on a job opening up that fits my title/role. If not, then that's it
and I'll be interviewing for another job. I'm hoping it won't be a big
deal and that something opens up (the industry has a lot of training
requirements and starting a new job means going through all that again,
for example, plus learning a new company culture and ways of working).
Good luck with your job situation, too, Andy!

resp:136: SGU was *terrible*. If you enjoy that though, go and watch the
preceding series'. Stargate SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis were wonderful.

I'm not sad but I do have the feeling of dread.
The financial markets melting. Restaurants, schools, stores,
manufacturing plants, public venues, etc. closing. I don't know who to
trust with the info on COVID-19. Is it the end of the world? A nothing
burger? The same people fear mongering went from one extreme to another.
Now my kid is out of school for a while. Very likely the numbers will be
higher when the kids are supposed to go back - probably won't see the
classroom again until Fall. Was told not to return to work until the
foreseeable future. Can work from home. Many are excited. I have dread.
Been hearing the COVID-19 is a bioengineered chimera using AIDS which is
why people are getting it again and again. You don't get rid of it. Who
the F knows though either way. Also hearing that basically everyone will
get it. Just a matter of time. Also trying to rip a Pavement CD and
track 8 won't rip. The Fing humanity. Pizza might help me just for a
hour. Toilet paper and purell will save us all. Idiots blaming Trump and
the 1%. Chinese blaming America now. Americans bombing Iranian targets
in the confusion. Secret stock trading by algorithms pump and dump while
we sleep. Aliens too grossed out to exsanguinate the cattle.
