@joeo10 Hmmm. Lifetime plans from companies make me very nervous these days.

@matigo Huh. I hadn't looked for myself on Google in aaaaages. My Instagram account is the 2nd result—much to my enormous surprise. I didn't think I'd be on the first page at all. My web page doesn't show up in the first 10 pages. It used to be the first or 2nd result back in the day. Not updating it seems to have hurt its rankings. Ha!
@joeo10 I could see the appeal but it's not going into my regular rotation. I'm already listening to toooooo many shows.

I got email from a faculty member this afternoon who left our department at least 15 years ago. He was asking if I had hard copies of figures I'd generated on a project around 1990. I dug around and, not surprisingly, do not. But I was surprised to stumble across a 3-ring binder that I'd set up for that very task. It had some printouts of figures from that era with a hand-printed note about what the image was for. I do not remember doing that and I didn't do it for very long. I found a 1.4MB floppy with a label for the project in question. The files had been compressed with CompactPro and I was able to uncompress them but can't open the files. I have no idea what I used to generate them—MacDraw seems a likely culprit. I am gonna take the floppy home and see if I can open the files on an ancient Mac I still have (that probably won't boot but that's another story). I will try to save them as PDFs if I can open them. I'm probably wasting my time but am curious. So… :-)
@larand That sounds like hell. Thankfully, I rarely get copied by anyone at work on more than one or two a week unless we're deep in a big project and working against a deadline.
