Hello, everyone- I hope this week finds you well!

Yesterday's rain should help to push the baby seedlings of spinach,
lettuce, and beets a little further along- at least I hope so.  I'll
be transplanting lettuces today while it's cool and wet, and if it
dries out I'll be preparing some more beds for greens, herbs, squash
and beans.  The broccoli will get it's straw mulch today, also, and
maybe I'll make some progress on those potato rows!

A Greybeard comes home to Ubuntu

My entry to computers was in the systems programming department of Time Sharing Systems at the Milwaukee School of Engineering a little over 40 years ago. Algol (and its derivatives) was the language and the OS was called MCP (Master Control Program). Burroughs provided source code to its customers and munging with the OS was not only possible, it was at times required.

After Burroughs, I worked on embedded systems on TI hardware, and again, I found myself munging source code writing run time libaries and patching the "executive" (OS).

The short story "Liking Men," from Margaret Atwood's Simple Murders, begins:  "It's time to start liking men again.  Where shall we begin"?  Atwood finally concludes that the feet of the sleeping man presently in her bed are kinda cute and, all in all, acceptable.  She'll begin, then, by liking his feet.
