I remember WebMD was one of the most chaotic places I worked at. It was 2000-2001 and there was a president Marv Rich and a CEO Marty Wygod. They were both building duplicate ERP systems that basically did the same thing. One day, my boss Al was in a meeting, and they told him that he needed us to move the data center to the East Coast. The most valuable part was a bunch of big EMC Symmetrix arrays with all their data. He was freaking out because he got into an argument about loading all of them into one airplane, and he didn't want to do it. He was telling them that if the airplane goes down, all of WebMD would be gone, and it needed to be loaded onto two airplanes. I don't know why, but for some reason, that story always reminded me of my time at WebMD.
Kai's Power Tools in 1992 . The interface was so next level it felt out of place and the more you used it features would get unlocked and more advanced. https://winworldpc.com/product/kais-power-tools/20
It still lags in productivity compared to a desktop app. For how much time we spend in email, I am surprised Outlook and Thunderbird still feel like they were built 20 years ago. Email clients get no love.
I always felt that Evernote was a confusing mess line OneNote I would try to use it every couple years thinking it would different only to give up a little later and go back to Notepad++
pop!_os That's what I run for desktop I like flatpak better than snap and it has some other nice enhancement over Ubuntu. For my servers I still use Ubuntu.
Such a sick set. Jello biafra looks like a crazy fuckin surgeon in that lab coat. Portland+Dead Kennedys fuk yeah!!!
We need some 10 foot alligators to fix it.
Many things have ruined the Internet, corporate greed, the proliferation of low quality content, paywalls, advertising, websites infested with user registration, AI, bots, shitty web page builders, etc... This was such a great article except the alligator was only five and a half feet long.
Bills like this are sponsored by the hotel industry. Sucks that rents and property taxes are out of reach for most Americans. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/16/technology/inside-the-hotel-industrys-plan-to-combat-airbnb.html

Also includes three kinds of homemade salsa, with a side of tomato and cucumber Greek salad. Georgetown Brewing ‘You’ll Get Nothing and Like it’ beer. Here is my Pico de Gallo salsa recipe, hope you like it.
Here's a recipe for delicious Corn, Cucumber, and Peanut Pico de Gallo salsa:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup diced cucumber
- 1/2 cup roasted corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 4-6 tablespoons roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
- 1-2 jalapeño peppers, finely minced (adjust to taste)
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients:
- Roast corn in the oven on broil for about 5-7 minutes till it starts to get a little charred.
- Dice the cucumber and tomatoes into small pieces. You can peel the cucumber if desired.
- Finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and roasted peanuts.
- Mince the jalapeño peppers, removing the seeds and membranes if you prefer less heat.
-
Combine the Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted corn, diced cucumber, and tomato, chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño peppers, and chopped peanuts.
-
Add Lime Juice and Salt:
- Drizzle the fresh lime juice over the mixture. Start with 2 tablespoons and adjust according to your taste preference.
- Sprinkle salt over the mixture to taste. Remember that the salt will help bring out the flavors of the ingredients.
-
Mix and Chill:
- Gently toss all the ingredients together to ensure even distribution of flavors.
-
Refrigerate:
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salsa for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
-
Serve:
- Once chilled, give the salsa a final gentle toss.
- Serve the Corn, Cucumber, and Peanut Pico de Gallo salsa with tortilla chips, as a topping for grilled meats, or as a side dish to your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes.
-
Optional Variations:
- Feel free to add other ingredients such as diced avocado, diced mango, or pineapple for extra flavor and texture.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeño peppers to control the level of spiciness.
Enjoy your homemade Corn, Cucumber, and Peanut Pico de Gallo salsa!
