Lyra Explains: How Computers Were Made (Humor)

A well researched (lol cakes) history of computers by Lyra Alluse AKA Emma Lee Downs.

A long time ago in ancient Rome some ancient scientist type dudes were bored. So they put a bunch of wheels and cogs together into a box and did a voodoo dance.

The voodoo dance activated the cogs which turned and flipped numbers at the top of the box counting down dates. This was the world's first computer known as the Antikythera Mechanism.

Just a quick note, folks. Since people seemed to like the deleted scene I posted earlier so much, I decided to add it to the actual story! If you missed it and don't want to go back to the chapter, though, you can still catch it at the blog post here.

Thanks, and enjoy!

One thing I've noticed a lot of around YouTube recently is videos with 'X but Y' titles. You know, things like 'Dragon Ball Z but every time we see people screaming at each other in a desert the video speeds up', or 'Last Christmas I Gave You My Heart but it's a Pokemon boss-battle theme'. With this in mind, is there any chance of seeing 'Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones but every time Hayden Christensen appears the film ends' or 'The Doctor Who Christmas Special but as soon as the plot

Harmonic bonds aren't the most predictable of spells. Sunset learned this the hard way with Twilight. Involving Moon Dancer will make things either extremely complicated, or extremely simple. And that has nothing to do with harmonic bonds.

I think there might be a week delay for the next chapter for EFNW. It's still up in the air. We've got one more until the... well, you'll find out. Heh. ^^;;

I'LL SEE YOU EFNW PEOPLE IN A FEWS DAYS!

Heya, reader! I was hoping for some clever word-play or character accent I could take from my latest Patreon reward read, but mostly all I got was vulgarity so erm… Let’s get started, you sex… nozzles.

I managed to keep my word. A new chapter is up, thankfully, and another one will be posted next week. I hope you enjoy.

OKAY.

LISTEN.

NO.

GET THE FUCK OUT.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?

I CAN'T FEED YOU ALL!

"Horizon!" you might ask as the clock ticks down toward August. "Are you going to be at Bronycon?"

Full details below, but first, I will let the convention's website answer that question:

One, and this should have happened sooner but things have been wild on my end, but libertydude wrote a cute little story for me for Jinglemas featuring Best Pone Moon Edition and Best Pone Bacon Edition. It is cute and has a few good laughs. Go give it a read if that sounds good to you.

Back in April, I started on a set of Read It Now reviews. I ended up reading a couple stories for it, and then forgetting I had started a review set and never finishing it.

Today, as I went to read some recent stories, I realized that I had an unfinished review set, and as it wasn’t really quite timely, I merged it into this.

Celestia's Talk With Alicorn Twilight

So now you are an Alicorn
Oh happy day! Congrats!
You used to be a unicorn
But now you're so much more than that

Yes, though these new wings, so big and grand
Are clumsy, confusing, and uncoordinated
One day you'll take off, soar, glide, and land
In mind, every flight equation you have formulated

So just a quick update.

From the 29th of August - 18th of December, I will be attending a sort of course, which means I will have to live on the facility. I will still have free time to write and stuff, but my time tables will move a bit, and it will take a lot of getting used while I'm there. New schedule and all, not to mention new people, and writing on a laptop instead of comfortably stationary computer...

19 more days before the milk is gone...

While this statistic probably doesn’t exist, I’d put money on the Lauritzen Gardens/Kenefick Park having more locomotive by weight than any other public park in the US. Sweetsong was right to guess you’d put them where traffic on the highway can see them; in fact, they’re on a hill overlooking I-80.
