  I found a manual for Los Alamos' first computer - MANIAC I. The coolest thing about it? It had 5 kb of RAM which it stored in 40 TV tubes.

    Thank you all for your support. I wish I could let you know how much it means beyond simple words - especially losing 2 pets over 15 years old in 3 months...
    
    My nephew, from what my sis told me, said his goodbyes to her, gave her a hug, then asked for a picture to be placed next to her ashes... god I wish I would have had that kind of wherewithal and emotional strength when I was 5.

    Sorry to hear about them. If theres something that you can do to remember them by such as spreading ashes or just simply keeping a photo, i can tell you it makes it feel tons better.
    
    Our old Yellow lab we had was from a Pacific island called Guam and when she passed, we just so happened to take a vacation trip to guam and so we just spread the ashes in the jungle near some Japanese tank thing.

  Today's fun fact: 200 kg of plutonium can produce approximately 1 liter of helium every single year solely through alpha decay.

  I don't know how this reflects upon me as a historian, but there are some subjects I just can't research without becoming intolerably livid.

    Always been interested in history and I can relate to this...
    One in particular I've always had a great distaste for, mainly because it almost never gets brought up is the atrocities in the Congo Free State by Belgium.

    The history of the Congo, from the Free State all the way to the present, is just damn tragic. It's atrocities were so bad and generated so much outrage when they were exposed that other colonial powers had to pressure Leopold II to curb his excesses.

    Interesting! After a few months of inactivity, I've been kicking around some ideas recently. I do have the beginnings of a few manuscripts of life in the Paro Valley and eastern North Korea post-Unification, as well as some ideas to flesh out the diplomacy of the Sector.

    Not too much! I'm glad I've got things going along at a pretty good clip at work. Hopefully will be making more of a presence on the server & forums during the weekends.

  Pushing cars out of snow is a decent lower body workout. Pushing 6 cars from the same patch of road means our neighborhood has a problem.
