    shhhhhhhhhhhh just breaking the site again don't mind me

    very, very, very experimental fic continues its slow progress as the deadline for bicyclette's sci-fi contest draws near. these chapters are about on-par with what if in terms of length, but oh boy have they been an interesting experience to write.

    hey hey btw i've got a (couple of) public minecraft server(s)!

    yeah so anyway here is my webbed site lol. there's an MC Classic server for building whatever, and an MC Beta 1.7.3 server for playing survival. I might eventually also put up a modern vanilla server as well, though given how I'm hosting a bunch of servers already for friends and a couple of discord servers, idk if the little slab of a PC I'm using to host 'em all would be able to manage lol.

    summer break is almost here :V

    basically got one week left lol. got an experimental fic in the works that's a sort-of direct sequel picking off right where Splintershard ended. no prior reading is necessary.

    MAN it's been a while since I've toyed with writing styles.

Fixing calculators as a little hobby for today · 10:49pm May 6th, 2017

Because silver should not be used as wiring for the pads on calculators.

Seriously.

It's pretty much all tarnished.

I think I know why this calculator doesn't work anymore.

Also, that's not a LCD or LED screen on this thing. It's a VFD, or Vacuum Fluorescent Display. This baby uses vacuum tubes. :ajsmug:

Don't mind my leg sticking out under the table in the first pic. :facehoof:

Don't see too many vacuum tubes anymore

That calculator is old. And you are either old or have a serious knowledge problem since you actually know that.

*SNICKERS*
Whenever i would find a calculator in 6th grade... I would destroy it LOL (I'm being serious LOL)

4523103 It was an old relic I found at a thrift store. I'm only in my mid-teens, but I like calculators that have brushed aluminum bodies. To me they're fancier than iPhones... Of which I don't have.

4523140 I actually have a pile of broken dollar store calculators from elementary school somewhere...
