I swear, Oracle, if you label another release of Java as "i586" and instead give me an i686 binary, I'm gonna be very, very annoyed.

I would like to start off by saying, I'm pretty sure no one reads this. Why am I saying this, I might ask. Well because I'm the only one reading it. I bet you didn't notice that my question from before didn't have a question mark. I did. I'm also changing up the format of these a bit. At first, I wrote these as I watched an episode. That meant I didn't have much time to get my thoughts straight, and I thought, after looking back on it, that it sounded a bit random. It got especially jumbled
Thought of something recently. Some speculation on Pony Life. Nothing to really back it up as a theory. Also, unlikely to be accurate, but I do like it.
So, what we have:
Ye.
Random Fact: The next time a major total solar eclipse will occur in the US is 2024, followed by 2045.

I was second in line to get eclipse glasses today, and not only did I get a pair, but since I was one of the earliest in line, there were also pinhole projectors, phone camera filters for the eclipse, and 3d-printed souvenirs for the eclipse. They handed one of each to me.

At least I have a spare pair of glasses.
Random Fact: before LEDs became prominently used in displays for household electronics like DVD players and stuff, VFD displays were instead used. VFD standing for "Vacuum Fluorescent Display". Basically, the panel was pretty much a flattened vacuum tube that glowed.

Battery cases for phones are very nice.
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.
One-thousand years ago, Ponykind was the greatest threat the world had ever known.
Masters of both magic and nature, controlling the land and the very weather with their bare hooves, the seemingly harmless ponies of Equestria were the most dangerous force any creature had ever seen. Lead by their dual rulers Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon they had spread across the land, subjugating every other species and land they reached and adding it to their ever-growing empire...
Warning: Spoilers abound. Proceed with caution.
Well, I planned to write this post tomorrow, but the movie my brother and I planned on seeing was sold out (note to him: must remember to buy tickets in advance next time). So, here we are.
Honestly, I usually don't have this much to say about season openers. But, it appears MLP will continue to surprise me in new and curious ways. So, follow me below the break, and let's see if Season 8 is putting its best foot forward.
Hmm... I should probably update something, shouldn't I? Oh well. I guess that's what happens when midterms come 'round.
Bland cliche "Blank Slate" characters are like balls of dough.
i guess there would be a intent difference between saying "nothing ever happened" and "everything never happened" whereas the first implied the events didn't happen, the second implies that at one point, they had happened; but if one were to check now, the events would have apparently never existed. This is known as retroactively not doing something. For example if I were to delete this post and then go to every physical place where the post was saved to, and wipe that information; is there any
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!
Hey guys.
So, I'll just be to the point here: I try and be pretty open with my mental health issues because I want anybody who is struggling with them to feel like they can talk to me and that somebody knows what they're going through and that they aren't alone. But sometimes it's a lot harder to do when you aren't experienced on the subject.
It was always my intention to have Book 1 end this way. Even all those years ago when I first thought up this concept, I knew where I wanted to take it.
I know it is a bit early to think about, but I am having a writing conflict.
I wanna ship Nicholas with a mare, she will become the future mrs Claus, but I am not sure who to pick! :( I thought about Rarity, but I am not sure if that would work out.
Who do you think should be Mrs Claus? One of the mane six, or maybe a whole other pony, like the royal sisters, or somepony more common like, like Derpy for example?
Hey, if you didn’t see, I updated The Last Unicorn Princess last week. It’s a shorter chapter, but I’m pretty proud of it. There is a routine I plotted out that was a lot of fun to write.
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.
