Lettuce remember the great browser wars! Unto you:

In the beginning there was NCSA Mosaic, and Mosaic called itself NCSA_Mosaic/2.0 (Windows 3.1), and Mosaic displayed pictures along with text, and there was much rejoicing.

And behold, then came a new web browser known as “Mozilla”, being short for “Mosaic Killer,” but Mosaic was not amused, so the public name was changed to Netscape, and Netscape called itself Mozilla/1.0 (Win3.1), and there was more rejoicing. And Netscape supported frames, and frames became popular among the people, but Mosaic did not support frames, and so came “user agent sniffing” and to “Mozilla” webmasters sent frames, but to other browsers they sent not frames.

Polar Bear Chalky is still looking for a forever home.
He needs a quiet home.
And he needs insulin shots twice a day. This is very easy to do & we are happy to help with expenses.

"Randy Suess, a computer hobbyist who helped build the first online bulletin board, anticipating the rise of the internet, messaging apps and social media, died on Dec. 10 at a hospital in Chicago. He was 74.

His death was confirmed by his daughter Karrie.

In late January 1978, Mr. Suess (rhymes with “loose”) was part of an early home computer club called the Chicago Area Computer Hobbyists’ Exchange, or CACHE. He and another club member, an IBM engineer named Ward Christensen, had been discussing an idea for a new kind of computer messaging system, but hadn’t had the time to explore it. Then a blizzard hit the Great Lakes region, covering Chicago in more than 40 inches of snow."

RIP, Randy, thank you.

@crackurbones I thank you in the name of many other Northerners.

A special time indeed. Days will start getting longer, and the dreariness of Winter starts to recede. Slowly, but surely.

Reason to celebrate, Life will return. 😉

@realcaseyrollins
Yeah, things are quieter indeed, I have noticed it too.

The Users account yestrday posted a graph that I thought was quite illustraive; here a clipping of it, from the Toots per day section, the lower part of the graph.

Clearly a declining line of fit, I think

@punkymcmunky Hei, Punky!

The Cat came back! 😃

Just woke up too. Good early morning... Maybe you are already into ZzzzZzzzzZZzzzzzZ again?

Quick look around for me, I think... (famous last words)

This and many more nice art works of Soviet period Realism. Worth a visit and collecting the images!

I just got inspired for an upcoming Blog post.

Thanks @truckfreak for posting a nice painting that lead me this way!
