    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.

Random Facts #85 · 4:03am May 8th, 2017

Busicon was one of the earliest companies to use Intel CPUs. For what, you may wonder? Calculators. Because that's what an "affordable" computer at that time essentially was.

The headphone jack/audio jack has existed in some form or another for over half a century.

An early form of non-mechanaical data storage for laptops was called "Bubble Memory" due to how it operates internally.

In the 1980s, it was perfectly normal to upgrade a computer by physically replacing several chips on the motherboard. These days most upgrades involve replacing the CPU or adding in some form of card.

Windows NT and all modern versions of Windows from Windows XP and on are actually direct descendants of the OS/2 Operating System developed by IBM and Microsoft. The two disagreed on the future of the OS, and took their parts of the OS and moves on separately.
