Installed Ruby
Per my previous post… installed Ruby. Well I ran one of my old programs… and it worked!
TIOBE index April 2024
Interesting to look at from time to time. I find it interesting that… Go is #7 (way to go, Go), VB is even on here let alone #8, Fortran #10 (huge 10 point jump), Delphi/ Object Pascal #11. Ruby made a big jump from #18 a year ago to #13 now. I haven’t done anything …
X (Twitter) name to vague
Far be it for me to question genius Elon Musk. But X, IMHO is just to vague to use as a name. When writing about something, I see on X, I often (usually) have to… at least feel the need to, clarify by also adding “Twitter” anyway. Like this guy did in a YouTube video… …

Install/Run RT11

ebay shipping lies
I ordered something on ebay. It was supposed to arrive by the 10th last Wed., it didn’t. Today, Friday, the 12th, I went to check the status. I hate that they say it was originally supposed to be delivered, no later than the 11th. I doubt that it will come today, it’s not even listed …
