This year I’m putting a lot of effort into my YouTube channel, That Cryptid Guy.
The channel started off as a general cryptid and paranormal channel, then quickly shifted into covering the cryptid trading card game, MetaZoo. I’ll still be doing that, but I’m going to add more cryptid mythology and location content.
I found a fantastic application called Plucker that actually saves web pages in a format that can be viewed offline on a Palm PDA.
Naturally I went straight to archive.org and grabbed an old copy of Geocities.
The Palm hotsync cable arrived yesterday and I was able to use Palm Desktop to add a few new applications. Now my PDA can simulate dice rolls, play a few games, and display a little pet fish. All very important tasks.
I have Palm Desktop installed on my Windows Me machine. The hotsync cable should be here tomorrow and I can get started customizing my Palm III!
Made some candle holders with the young niece and nephew. Naturally, I made Mothman.
I’ve been messing around with a Palm III PDA to see if I can make it useful enough to carry around daily.
The calendar and address book are great for default programs. Still learning graffiti input and I mostly rely on the touch keyboard.
I have an order for a hotsync cable that should be delivered in about a week, then I can start installing some new software. Probably going to start with games.
Went to see the lights at the Milwaukee Zoo.
Usenet was a wild place back in the 90s and early 2000s.
People would get into great discussions, but they’d also fight with each other. And they’d fight a lot.
Flamewars were big arguments between two or (usually) more people. Some people would take things so far as to report people to their ISPs for having arguments on Usenet. It got a bit silly at times.
If you managed to cause enough trouble, you might be labeled a kook. It was a very derogatory label that would follow you around from newsgroup to newsgroup.
According to many sources in the YouTube community, YouTuber Adam The Woo has passed away.
I’ve followed Adam’s adventures for years and his channel was amongst my most frequently watched. This is absolutely heartbreaking.
Adam touched a lot of lives and will be greatly missed.
