it's a good font

my favourite font is glamour absolute but it’s not particularly appropriate for a lot of things

but when it is - god drat they’re some satisfying glyphs

I had one of these and a palm IIIc that I took notes with in high school.

It was super convenient because after class I could use the irda to print them out at like any laserjet printer.

some people used to use those kinds of things to take notes during the sermon at church

even then I used to wonder what the hell would be worth recording as notes



years later I realised it was kind of awful that we’d just allow someone to come and tell a group of people whatever they wanted, a group of people who almost by definition were open minded and would believe almost anything. we’d have dudes come and spend an hour telling us their vision of heaven. and we’d believe it

I love getting my hair cut and keep it very short (receding hairline problems). I also get my beard lined up and feel fresh and clean afterwards

What I don’t understand is people who go to the barber without an appointment. Sure let me just go spend my Saturday at the barber shop. How long will I be there? Anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours depending on who’s in line

I went to church every Sunday as a kid and watching the pastor verbally and mentally abuse his wife made me realize that maybe he wasn’t appointed by god and maybe he was just a dude with a job like any other dude with a job.

shout out to pastor Anderson for being an abusive dick and doing the exact opposite of your job description, starting me on the path of questioning all of it.

at the time i think ubuntu and a few other distros did prevent writing directly to the frame buffer like that. which is why i was surprised when i discovered that i could in maemo
