Also, though this was ripe for some kind of 9-dimensional joke (tying together you remembering, my having forgotten, AB thanking me for remembering, my questionable truthfulness, etc.), I completely failed to recognize the opportunity. Anything 9-dimensional that happens to be there was unintended.

By Jove, you are correct. I had completely forgotten about that.

I think I had LRP first, but it didn't really click with me until after Document. And I kind of fade out after Green. Sort of a normal distribution with Document at the peak, for me. Probably well-known trivia: Alton Brown was director of photography on the The One I Love. Inescapable on MTV.

Fact fairly neutral in its entertainment value: The amp appearing in the lower left corner of that photo is presently sitting around 10m away from me in the corner of a room. Somewhere around 36 years after having been caught on camera here.

It was Michael Halliday who worked at the Lowell Inn. We didn't interact too much, he worked in the kitchen and I worked in the computer room. He did give me a VHS tape at one point with videos on it. I wonder where that is. I don't really know anything about the making of the LITL video though.

Fair point. Like how I draw backsixes, backeights, backnines, backsies, backgees, backjays, and backesses. :D

Yep, off to the right.

Yep, that's an Apple II+. With I think the Applesoft manual open on the left, and the groovy Pong paddles. And yes a sweet-ass TV.*

Well, to be fair, for all of us there was a day just prior to the first time we'd ever seen a FireWire 800 port. If I were ever going to recycle one of my Apple ///s, I'd absolutely bring it to the Apple store to do it.

Which then winds up reminding me of Washington's Dream. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYqf...

:D I initially thought "wow, that seems susprisingly warm" and so didn't really understand your quiet gratitude. But that's what I get for getting used to having my phone readout set to °C.

I edited that too enthusiastically. Osman = Richard Osman, book tour for We Solve Murders. Though I know him mostly from Pointless and Richard Osman's House of Games. Haven't really read much of the Thursday Murder Club books yet.

I've only just discovered Taskmaster. I saw Osman recently on a book tour, and he touted his performance on series 2 task (balls onto a yoga mat) as being perhaps his proudest achievement. Seems like a pretty amusing show, though, I intend to watch more at some point.

If you can keep up this resistance, you'll save big money.

Mail and macOS itself (in Sonoma) can actually come pretty close to Mail Act-On. In System Settings -> Keyboard -> App Shortcuts, you can set up quick commands, and for moving selected message to an arbitrary folder, use "Show Help menu," type part of the folder name, arrow down to move.

It's just too big a project for too small a team, when things break after the initial release, I don't see how they'll be able to react in a timely way. So, I've begun migrating away from tags and going back to folders, but it's disappointing. These plugins saved me a lot of time back in the 2010s.

But it definitely makes you feel quite pleased with yourself for getting what is essentially an inside joke when you see what they were going for! Kind of made my day the first time I saw it.
