Random Fact: In the "Sonic the Comic" series, Dr. Robotnik, AKA Dr. Eggman, was formerly Dr. Ovi Kintobor, the reverse of "Ivo Robotnik", Dr. Eggman's name. How did he become Eggman? He got fused with a rotten egg. How? Apparently future Sonic travelled back in time to purposely turn the guy evil because his evilness somehow both saves and destroys the world. Somehow.

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.

Ye.

Random Fact: The next time a major total solar eclipse will occur in the US is 2024, followed by 2045.

Thoughts & Opinions~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.

Thoughts & Opinions~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.

Now, let’s take a look back at my very first blog post.

I am not gonna talk about the leaked images, plot ideas, or what have you. Because, as Linkara always likes to say-

"Show me a trailer or a poster and I'll believe it."

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.

This may be the stupidest World Cup ever (not made better by Senegal's coach looking like my weed guy), but we have to finally win it for once.

Gonna try something new with blogs or something while I'm in between stories or in between completing one story and finishing the next. Off the cuff blogs, where I just write what comes to mind when it comes to mind and throw it at y'all.

Today's topic that brought up an off-the-cuff idea was writing about what, and reviving a dead or dormant story.

What, or more specifically, what question should be asked to revive a story?

Perhaps the most unique sign-off in TV history was aired by WLWI, when it was an ABC affiliate. It featured the zooming out of a model of their TV studio - which is suddenly blown up right in the middle of it. VO is by David Letterman, who got his start at this station.

The station was renamed WTHR in 1976. It switched network affiliation to Letterman's first network home, NBC, in 1979.

Quick, someone give me a small loan of $230!

Random Fact: Java SE 6 U0, AKA Java/JRE 1.6.0, is apparently one of the last versions of Java to actually live up to its name as "i586-compliant", according to the installer names. There's the x64 version, and the i586 version. Every version of the i586 build I've tried past the original SE6 crashes upon launching a jarfile complaining about CMOV, which is an i686 instruction.

Okay, recently and by recently I mean this morning I've begun to wonder if I made a couple of bad choices with my Kamen Rider Kiva story, chiefly with Fluttershy thought to be a serial killer and the mystery surrounding Kiva and her identity being one of them. I know, this isn't Death Note Equestria or something like that and Kamen Rider nerds will know Kiva is hardly a killer of ponies. Monsters yes, but ponies? No.

I am a fan of fighting games. I have been most of my life, and have played them off and on. Hell, I even won a local smash tournament once upon a time, so I've been dedicated a few times to these sorts of games.

Some have cited that there has been corruption going on in music lately, and so I applaud SEGA for coming up with a song that allows these people to hear it and then say, ''They're reading our minds!''
