A couple of random items

First off, how could Food Network start a new season of A Cook’s Tour and not tell me? Bastards! It looks like they’re on episode 7 this week (9:30 PM EDT on 6/13) – should be amusing: “Kansas City, Houston, North Carolina: The BBQ Triangle”

I just tried Lochjournal after a year and a half of using Semagic. The spell checking of Lochjournal was really crappy; Semagic invokes MS Word and uses Word’s spellchecker, which is fine if a little clunky sometimes. It’s certainly more robust than the one that comes with Lochjournal, so on that basis alone Lochjournal gets the boot.

Finally, check out the latest in electronic gadgets, circa 1983!
Laptops/PCs: GRiD Compass 1101
First clamshell laptop computer. The Compass has a black magnesium alloy case, a gas plasma display, 384KB of memory, and for hacking while on the road, a lightning-fast 1200bps internal modem.

Why do I see this as something posicat will enjoy? 🙂

    Laptops/PCs: GRiD Compass 1101
    Dude, I *had* one of those, up until a couple years ago! Great little toy, I wish I hadn’t given it away (was supposed to get another, but it didn’t come through).
