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...

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..)
Decided to break out the Orange Jumpsuit for Cyberdelia at the DNA Lounge. Crowd participation made the film Hackers 10x better and yes, rollerblades were in use. #hacktheplanet

I miss the local ILEC ISPs. They really got so many people online while remaining true to their communities.
Glad that Gopher got the job done for you!
In 1991 a GB was ~$7k
Still amazed that we could pay for all that expensive hardware and had such lousy salaries.. At $30k/year 1 disk would be .3 SWE/y

Clarinet archiving looks to be taking up about 100K blocks (~50 Meg) a month, and if this is the case, we're going to want to get another disk for it, ideally 600+ Megabytes.
Bob forgot to mention that he maintained paperboy.micro.umn.edu, a Mac IIfx running INN for a good long while. That enabled Clarinet UPI news.
Having full text searches in 1992 blew people's minds. Plus you could bookmark a search, which was another game changer!

What if the Agile software movement was the manifestation of an entire industry that was, just, like, dealing with some stuff right now?
Verifying my Knowledge Panel.
Didn't expect to have to Include a selfie with my ID.
Remembering people that used to have fake IDs just to buy booze it seems like a bit of security theater...

@vonneudeck @haekelschwein Thank you! Being mistaken for a @c_lindner is okay. Where else would I see this:

Maybe someone can give me a German language joke I can use to respond to mistaken identity? Maybe a Stilblüten ????
Both me and my macbook admit we are powerless over tab opening.

I just wish I got mistaken for @patricklindner instead. Volksmusik is better than Neoliberal Politics!
Everything I know about German Politics comes from mistaken rage mentions for @c_lindner
Sadly it appears that the centrists once again prefer fascists to leftists. Also see "The Iron Law of Institutions"

Thank you @BillDeVille for the heartfelt dedication of my request this morning on United States of #Americana on @TheCurrent

@zshapiro @StarTribune @sfchronicle @PB_News Thanks Zack, many good memories of our time together at hi5.
Also that job meant we could afford a house in Oakland, which make Julie very, very happy.
@mkruz @jflindner Thank you, I was very fortunate to have someone that helped me find the beauty that exists in people and everyday objects.
@alexhanna @metavivor @BCAction Thank you, it's hard to express how much good she brought me and the people around her.
@metavivor @BCAction Check out Julie’s follow list if you want to get some of her style in your feed, including Dog, Design, Lit, or Minnesota Music Twitter.

Thank you for bearing witness to Julie’s life, for the condolences and for honoring @jflindner's memory.
Paul & Gus. https://
