(Somewhat) Daily Blog #42 || Special 600th post edition! · 2:03am Aug 11th, 2017
This blog is the meaning of life. 
Random Fact: Before their downfall, 3.5” floppy disks were occasionally shipped as “DMF” disks, which stored around 1.63 or so megabytes, rather than 1.44.
600TH BLOG POST!
Now, let’s take a look back at my very first blog post.
Here's the timeline I'll try to follow in my fanfic http://www.fimfiction.net/story/284357/wielder-of-the-orb-of-magic-and-ponies.
Things marked with a * means that I've already done it. (By the way, there's no guarantee that each step is it's own chapter. Some may be multiple chapters, and others might be combined into a single one.)
1: Intro (obviously)*
2: Sammy and the group become friends with the Mane Six*
3: Introduction to the orb*
4: Going through the portal to the EQ world*
5: Random filler chapter*
6: Intro to villain/Cutscene of early weapons design for upcoming conflicts
7: Yet another changeling invasion
8: Charging up the orb
9: Space Travel
10: ... ?The reason why 10 is marked with a question mark is because that's as far as I've planned it. I'll post another one later on when I have more ideas.
In addition, let’s take a look at the associated story that this particular post was about.
Now, I have but a few words to describe this duo of written text: Cringey. Failed. Crap.
And no, I never did really get around to implementing anything in that supposed “plan”. Also, Sammy is still by far probably one of the closest things to a Self-Insert that I’ve got. Maybe.

Thoughts & Opinions~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welp. Today’s the day that everything pretty much came together. I got a nice haul of vintage computing stuff from the local thrift store, the school counselor realized that AP Chemistry required taking normal Chem. first, so I got moved to that, and generally, things are looking up for me. ^_^
Can you say, MICROSOFT BOB?!
I somehow managed to snag a near-pristine boxed set of disks for Microsoft Bob version 1.00, with the only damage being minor scuffs on the corners of the box, and the disk wrappers being opened already. Aside from that, everything’s there. Manuals, pamphlets, advertising, a Microsoft Bob magazine, and best of all: STICKERS!
I also got a pile of assorted 30-pin SIMM sticks, though from the looks of their labels, I’ve got less than 16 mb in total worth of the things. I’m just going off the fact that most of them are labeled “256kb module”.
Comment below if you’d like some pics of the BOB box.
42 is the answer to life the universe and everything. Perhaps this blog is the question to life the universe and evreythin
