Floorp – new Firefox type browser
Was watching Chris Titus talking about Floorp, a Firefox based browser with privacy features. Really stupid name! Very interested in this because my preferred browser is Firefox. I started to make a comment about how I preferred Firefox, because Chrome shrinks tabs down too small if you have many open…and I do. Then my tiny …
Installed Docker
Installed Docker using this guide.This is so I can start learning it again, for the 4th or 5th time. I know it’s a cool technology, but I always start learning it then stop, without getting too deep,
Todd’s go course and new version
Working on Todd’s course and VSCodium told me this new version 1.21.6 was available. So downloaded and installed. Also was following his lesson on structs.

How I got my 1st computer job
I recently found a little notebook. That had info on my first computer job (not counting school) search path. I remember the Lady’s name from my notes…Pat Zinchak @ Snelling &Snelling (a headhunter). I contacted her because I saw she frequently posted DEC PDP jobs, which is what I was looking for. I was still …
