12,000 B.C. Being fought over by Neanderthals (or whatever cousins
passed for human at that stage of their development).... trudging
through mud.
You know this is going to be a long trip from then to now,
especially at 200 words per day.
I am so antisocial. Obviously banned from most any group. I hear a
different drum beat and suddenly I'm gone.
FFBB00.... ok here's the spoiler....
FFBB00 is the hex code for the color AMBER. I bet you didn't know
that. Now your life is ruined, huh?
Why is FFBB00 important? Because in the early 1970's that was the
color of the nicest (my opinion) monitors, & I used one to build a
word processor.
It was really fun to sit in the dark watching that amber glow; it
was friendly.
So of course I have spent the last two days automating a process to
turn my old iBook into a full screen amber text editor. Anything but
actually write something, just like 1974.
Not like this is a sudden idea... I have spent a lot of time over the
last couple years finding FFBB00, and then saving it in a variety of
ways so I can find it again when I need to... like last Saturday
morning. This time it only took me five minutes to find. Another
quality Not-Writing experience.
Ok... so back to trying to get those adversaries from 12,000 B.C. up
to somewhere close to current day.
Happy Day.
Jeff
