Very nice read thank you. Still remember very clearly putting the Richard D James album CD into my Sony disc man for the very first time 22 years ago


Absolutely love it. Inspires me to think about porting my own productivity tools to an IRL device.


For those not familiar, this post is by John Walker[0] one of the co-founders of Autodesk who made AutoCAD. He passed away last year[1]

Wow, definitely familiar with his work, though haven't used AutoCAD for quite some time. Pretty sure my fingers still remember some of the text commands.

I hadn’t heard that he died, sad.


Judging by your profile location being in the netherlands, I think you are confusing the generic Ziggo ISP blocked page[1], where it lists Russia Today and Sputnik News and then in another post ThePirateBay

In this case, the ISP blocked it because the website is anna's archive [2], which was blocked around a year ago, but they have not made a post about that.

If you put "pcm." in front of the link it will work (for now)

You should probably edit your post, so as not to misinform. But I have to admit this confusion stems from bad decisions at the ISP.

Seems that editing is not possible due to the negative point I gathered; which is weird as I just reported that I can not watch it. People seem to view everything though a political lens now. But thank you for your information; I saw the post.


No you were down voted because you claimed something false.


It it false but I would not blame the parent; the ISP blocked page is unclear and suggests the block is linked to Russia.


Wow, there goes 20 minutes. Really enjoyed it, thanks.


Do you think it's just frustrating in the Meta landscape? I've been playing around with stuff I find on the "Linux VR Adventures wiki" [1]

I've got a different, (not meta) VR HMD, and am running things using Envision and Stardust XR.

Excuse me if none of this applies to mixed reality.

Yes, please do, I've been considering changing careers as well. (Currently software engineer)


Thanks for sharing! I like the look of this a lot. I'm always looking for personal knowledge base and note taking style tools.

Will you provide source code anywhere?


When I just started out, I used to take everybody's on-call service because it paid well. Also had the advantage that I learned the ropes quicker. Now-a-days I'm very happy to not be awoken at 3am, even if 1 weekend incident would amount to a couple grand.


Has anybody attempted to do this DIY? The photo's look very warm and nostalgic.
