@stux Yep, used that. And that, and similar to that. Acorn Atoms, occasionally, BBC micros a few times, ICL 1900 machines (mainframes) when I started work.

Used cassette tape to store on, floppies were a radical new idea.

Jewish #writers & other artists and thinkers write an open letter on how criticism of Israel is not antisemitism: “we find this rhetorical tactic antithetical to Jewish values, which teach us to repair the world, question authority, and champion the oppressed over the oppressor.” They also liken it to an “an insidious gagging of #FreeSpeech.”

Happy birthday to Marie Skłodowska Curie, who was born on this day in 1867!

She is best known as the discoverer of the radioactive elements polonium and radium and as the 1st person to win 2 Nobel prizes. For scientists & the public, her radium was a key to a basic change in our understanding of matter and energy. Her work not only influenced the development of fundamental science but also ushered in a new era in medical research & treatment. via @aip

#JoeBiden has been a great president. Full stop.

Americans are shockingly unaware of all his accomplishments in office, and we need to change that. I'm gathering good summaries, like this one, of all the good work he has done so I can share widely. If you know of other good graphics or lists, please share in the comments section so I can amplify!

Trump plans to deploy military on Inauguration Day, seize government agencies, and purge critics - https://boingboing.net/2023/11/06/trump-plans-to-deploy-military-on-inauguration-day-seize-government-agencies-and-purge-critics.html

Question for my fellow academics:

How many concurrent projects is a comfortable number for you (i.e., allows you to work without feeling rushed)?

And what is the optimal number of meetings a day (i.e., that allows you to move things along, but also leaves you enough time for other things)?
