DON’T DROP IT, LINUS!
Random Fact: The first computer mouse ever invented was basically a brick of wood with a button on top and wheels on the bottom. Seriously.

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.
Hmm... I should probably update something, shouldn't I? Oh well. I guess that's what happens when midterms come 'round.
WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA?!
Random Fact: Rice Krispies Treats are literally just the cereal doused in some marshmallows and glaze.
Apparently, some late revisions of the AMD K6-2/3+ had limited support for CMOV. Just enough that it barely worked, but apparently not enough to function properly without severe instability. No wonder why the K6 line is "i586 compatible", at the same time as being a "6th generation processor".
You probably don't know how annoying it is to realize that 95% of all modern software no longer works on an older computer that you have.
Random Fact: Linux has thousands of variations, or "distros".
First day of Robotics was today. Hopefully the freshmen who joined aren't gonna abandon ship after picture day like last year.
Besides that, today was overall another meh day.
I gave up on trying to enjoy my weekend for this week.
Random Fact: Comcast is literally so poorly received that they've won an award for being the worst company in existence.
Haha. Internet issues!
That sudden realization when you realize that there just might be a rare model of the K6-3+ family that supports CMOV...
Random Fact: Though many distros have long-since abandoned i586-class processors, there's still a small handful that remain supporting it, both due to the necessity to be small and quick, and due to the nature of the distros as being the "lightweight linux" versions.

Hi ponies of the internet, my name is Anarchy and I will be doing this little blog on my own au that I made myself, now then let me introduce my friends
Midnight: a powerful chaos mage who is very strict and no fun...
Anarchy: it's me! A draconesus that loves chaos and having fun.
Pinksie: another one of the no fun club, she's sooo dull and boring.
Rainy: my bff in chaos, we stick to one another like glue, literally at some points, it is annoying.
After getting Chapter 12 up, I ended up getting a review on another site questioning a line in Chapter 9 between Pinkie Pie and Eddy. I made an appropriate adjustment to fit the dialogue between them.
This one's especially aimed at Justice, Tired Old Man, and/or DrakeyC. Maybe also Albinocorn, as an in-betweener. Possibly also FoME. If anyone can do something cool with this idea, it's one of you five. Of course, anyone else who feels like taking it on is welcome as well.
In regards to Linguistic Walls, since there seems to be a high demand for both a sequel and a higher quality product I'm going to give the audience what they want in one neat little package. Here's a little looksey.
Bridging Words - [2nd Person] [Human] [Sad] [Slice of Life]
Time travel solves everything. Except when it doesn't.
Random Fact: The headphone jack and its cable have literally existed for almost a century, if not more.
Boy, I haven't written this much in a single day for months.
Random Fact: While still quite a bit underpowered compared to many phones and tablets, the Raspberry Pi's third revision is capable of running full Android Nougat.
Seriously, I don't even remember when the last time I did a triple-update was.
As per usual, my weekend is much busier than my weekdays.
Random Fact: So apparently a Frisbee spinning at high RPMs will quickly and easily cut your finger if you catch it at an angle in which it perfectly digs under your fingernail. Don't worry. The bleeding stopped already.
Probably no updates or anything today. Sorry. :P
When you try so hard but you don't succeed...
Random Fact: Not all motherboards are built the same, even if the CPU physically fits, that doesn't guarantee a working system! I learned this the hard way...
Welp. The CPU upgrade arrived today. I am now the proud owner of a fancy box with a CPU upgrade kit inside. Why? Because the mobo isn't compatible.
Turns out that I overestimated what to expect when it came to the practice SAT. Also, for some reason, even though the universities in my area use the ACT test, the high schools give out practice SAT exams.
Welp. About half a week with my new phone so far, and I've got some good and bad news. But first, here's the usual.
Random Fact: I find it more comfortable occasionally to just kinda sit in my office chair backwards, leaning on top of the back rest. It's an old chair, but it's still comfy enough to sleep in.
Thoughts & Opinions~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alrighty, let's get on with what's on my mind.
Good:
Chapter 22 posted in The Runaway Bodyguard. Starlight runs in the Celestial Race. Always trying to keep a low profile, she is relieved that she’s racing against earth ponies and pegasi with no chance to win. Next: Will Starlight (neé Aurora
