In the past I’ve had great experience with Logitech. I Don’t know why I’m complaining now. This has been happening as long as I’ve had my current mouse. In other words…years. The mouse constantly thinks a click is a double click! If you want something that really can aggravate you then this is it. It’s …

Create GitHub SSH keys
As of Fri the 13th, GitHub no longer accepts passwords for CLI operations. I chose SSH keys but after watching this I think tokens would have been easier to setup. Also the token system is more portable. I noticed I had a entry in my password manager for ssh. So searched for and found old …
GitHub
Enabled 2FA…again. Required after Aug. 13th!
ADABAS/Natural
Regarding the mainframe I spoke about in the previous post…to continue walking down memory lane. I will mention in retrospect…as a programmer, I wish we had chose IBMs DB2 instead of Software AGs ADABAS as our database. TBH, I wasn’t involved in the decision and probably didn’t even have an opinion about it at the …
DEC VAX and Emulation
Being a fan of the DEC PDP 11 series, I had a hoped…back in the day, since we ran two PDP 11/70s, that a DEC VAX would play some part in our companies future. But the head of the department, who came from a banking environment, unsurprisingly chose IBM. I’m sure it was the right …
Too much time on my hands
This post proves I have…too much time on my hands! I believe it’s true when they say if you don’t have anything good to say…don’t say anything! But they also say when you get older sometimes you loose your filter. So maybe that’s what’s happening here. I like listening to Linux podcasts. You can learn …
IBM PC turns 40
Today! It used the Intel 8088 running at 4.77 MHz. Ram was 16K, 64K or 256K. Bill Gates made a deal with IBM for a programming language and then the OS…MS-DOS, which MicroSoft bought, after a deal for CP/M fell through…a story in itself.
Javascript Learning
I must have tried learning Javascript many, many times. Starting with O’Reilly books in the 1990s. Way before YouYube! I think the main reason I never stuck with Javascript is because in the past it was only used in web pages. And web design has never been a focus of mine. However because of node.js …

Solution to the VS Code CWD problem
I left a comment, with the solution concerning opening a terminal in the Current Working Directory [CWD]. I talked about here. I’m repeating the solution here. I solved my own problem. I was sure it worked for me before, and this idea popped into my head. However I never saw this response/solution (which certainly could …
