Just dont go northbound on Cahuenga
( and if you get the reference without looking it up, 2 points for you )
Sat Aug 15 2026 05:04:56 EDT from ParanoidDelusionsIt is 2 AM, I made it to the Star Wars Trek room - I just don't have the energy to make it all the way through. I passed out earlier tonight - and woke up having a dream about driving a very nice BMW down the hill from El Dorado Hills (coming down highway 50 from Tahoe) into Sacramento. I was super thrilled in the dream - I felt very... successful - but on waking I realized not only have I done that in a fairly nice BMW - but I have much NICER cars in real life that I never feel as fancy in as I did in the dream. Not sure what the psychoanalyst view of that dream and response is - but.... I couldn't go back to bed after waking from it. Oh, also, Imminence Front was playing in real life on the earbuds I fell asleep wearing - and that was playing in the dream - and enhanced the experience... the driving a nice BMW down from the foothills of Northern California into Sacramento. There was definitely some subconscious projected class aspiration going on of some sort.
Dreams are weird.
Yes, that is the correct reference. However just lyrics miss the backstory:
Jessicka Addams' best friend, Jennifer, was killed in a car accident one evening heading north on that road. it was a tribute song to her.

I have been subjected to a lot of family stress as of late but things are back to normal, and so far I managed to keep my jobs while tending the farm without help.
Thank you guys for missing me so much XD
We did notice. But we all know life gets in the way sometimes. Good do hear you are ok tho.

And along the same lines Z says hey.
She's just been really busy, and not a lot stuff to talk about. But, shes still around.

You rock, good to see you.
I must say I liked the post old post editor much better.
That's interesting to hear because not much has changed ... I assume you're still using the text client, locally on your own machine?
Tried updating my system to NetBSD 11, but not a lot of packages are readily availble for vax yet, so i'm just swinging by again.
Hope you all have a good thursday!

Might do a moronic last ditch and throw applications up north to see what I get.
I will be in that boat in ~3 months ( first of year ). Already signed up with the major job sites and posted my skills, getting lots of hits. But not posting my resume, not until its 'official' as i don't want to have to turn something down since i'm not 'ready' yet. ( and cant do 2 jobs, there are legislative restrictions where i'm at now. Aside from a number of restrictions, It would have to be approved, likely denied anyway, and just piss people off ...)
Still not 100% sure i want to even stay in IT, as to be honest i'm over it. After nearly 40 years, between all the changes in the industry, and just being burnt out anyway, id like to do something else for a couple of years, then call it quits totally.. But i need to stay at home, so its sort of a smaller window of options. ( and selling my cola syrup didn't take off.. lol )
I indeed have the text client compiled on here! I'm trying to pkgsrc the dependencies for the server to make a small server for online friends. Besides that, I'm out of a job. #OpenForWork and all that lol....

Mine only gets dust. I dust my room at least once a week. I have to. I have dogs and cats.
