I always see and learn new stuff when I visit California. Today in our hotel room, it's one of these new fangled, pressurized, 1 gallon per flush toilets!


I'm sure it's got it's compromises, but so far it's working good for me and Mrs. Lou P! 😜

But did you know that behind that famous sign is an homage to the prior folks at this location?

The story goes that Zuckerberg wanted a reminder of what happens when you fail to innovate, so he turned their sign around and re-used it. Either that or he was just too cheap to get a new sign! 😜

Sun were one of the really great innovators of the early 1980s with their workstations and later servers. When Sun UK consisted of two people in a pokey office they had no demo facilities and brought prospective customers up to our place in the Cambridge Fens to see the hardware and standard software. We were working on porting our CADCAM system to Sun -- but as it was top secret I clearly couldn't show anyone that. Another thing I had to keep quiet about was that the Suns at that time only ran on 110V at the time and we had 240/110 transformers for each one.

Here is the MRC finger pointing to the the Motorola 68010 processor of a Sun 2/120 I used at work 1984-5 and at home 1986-1993, with added Heuer Carrera.

This is not as easy as it used to be. And I have a vintage Seamaster on the way in. 😲

Almost grabbed my Hamilton off the winder but remembered it’s Tuesday. Holiday weekend screwing me up!
