We interrupt this stream of perf and covid for mandatory frolicking donkey antics.
Actually with some tweaks I got all the grunge list content I was looking for!
Still think it would be awesome if the backup tapes were found. @herf wrote a great article about the lyrics part of the site:

Thank you for your sympathy and for all the work you've done to make @PerkeepOrg into a such a useful tool for personal digital preservation.
Honored that I was able to tell my story of restoration and healing on the @internetarchive blog today.
Thank you @whanamura and the IA team for your compassion and for preserving so many cherished memories of my life with @jflindner.

Love. Loss. Memory. These are the reflections of @lindner who found himself turning from husband to historian after his wife Julie died last December. Paul's journey resonates for all of us who have lost someone we love. https://blog.archive.org/2020/03/19/love-loss-and-archives/pic.twitter.com/cWxwOjussg
LinkAha. swore that I already checked. So yay!
But sadly... many/most of the leaf pages are empty or truncated. So sad :(
The quest continues!
A challenge to the data hoarders out there. Find the contents of the amazing music archive that one lived at archive.uwp.edu (FTP or Gopher) and was mirrored to mirrors.aol.com.
@textfiles - didn't see it in the boneyard. Ideas?

We've now entered the Cyberspace future predicted 30 years ago. Expecting a resurgence in Industrial Music..

Really should do something with my makamaka.me domain which I shelved when I realized that I was using AGPL software...
I ended up just contributing to the Mastodon Patreon and joined https://social.coop/
[also looks like go/makamaka still works!!!]
Trying to talk sense into my 84 year old father in law, who has a number of health issues...
"I lived through the real bad polio epidemic, and in our small circle of friends there 5 cases and one close friend died. We do not know one person with virus! This said I'll still be very careful."
Post yur playlist plz.. There are only so many Neil Cicierega tracks out there... Save me before I start hitting the Nightcore...

2001/2008 vibes
Walking through an empty office took me back to 2001 as I survived seven layoffs and three office moves at Critical Path. Serious triggering moment.
Recommend that folks have a Plan B, and start building support networks now.
The whole global economy is fragile and over-leveraged, and we've already used up most financial engineering tools available in 2008.
US folks should consider updating wageworks for commuter benefits.
I found out the hard way that Clipper has a max accumulation of BART passes...
Stress Break
Relax with some therapy farm animals.. Almost makes twitter worth it.. almost.
The end times approach. Gopher protocol over HTTP and support for TLS.
But seriously I now have the weirdest Masto timeline with Adam Curry NoAgenda Show folks and retro-hacker Gopher Protocol people.

We've all been there, on the tenth page of search results, not finding what you're looking for. This is a whole 'nother level. Loved it.

I have that whole email thread archived.. What a trip.. Quite pleased that you're still leading on alternative ways to fund, create, and deliver quality content.
Indeed! I've been following the growing #gopher community. Definitely an example of a Retro Upgrade for our current computing environment.

Blaming the IRS for your poorly engineered software is sad. Most people can e-file.
Instead please:
1. Apologize for the problem.
2. Tell us when it will be fixed.
3. Remove the flippant smiley from your signature.
Looks like Adam Curry spoke about Internet Gopher on the Rogan Podcast, so I had to dig this out of the email archives from September '93

For some reason I always thought of Six Apart as Franz Ferdinand.
And for the ultimate crossover here's a Franz cover of Serge Gainsbourg

If you want you can refer to case #457576616 It's closed, but should have details.
Intuit/TurboTax has a market cap of $74B, and just spent $7B to buy Credit Karma. They can afford to hire people to manually fix these returns...
Heather -- please read the full thread (there are three pages of unhappy customers) It's a bug in Turbotax and it needs to be fixed.
Sending people who have experienced a loss to read IRS forms is just cruel.
Turbotax, you had one job.. Because of this bug surviving spouses have had to mail instead of e-file for years. I escalated with support. They said it would be fixed, but could not notify me when. Just keep trying...

One of these days they'll have a proper API for individuals. Their current one is just super hostile...

So yeah, don't forget about your Drive Birthday quota expiration..
The current deal is 2TB for 9/year, which isn't bad. You also get 100 'play points', which nets you in raw play credit or more if you use in-app.
And plus it saves me from looking at S3 compatible archive options now... (I use restic + rclone to backup to drive..)
Indenting footguns
On some level it makes sense, but for..else just feels weird.
