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 in Ruby in years (my source folders are from 2007)… maybe I should look at it again. Maybe there’s a slight chance that it’s improved 🙂 I remember liking it. Rust is way down there at #19.
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…
I think the “Caption “Hannah Barron X Drama”, probably gives a whole different suggestion. Also since the company is now X, should the caption have been “Hannah Barron X (Twitter) Drama”?
Also, it just doesn’t seem very imaginative. How many product models start with X… so many. I once registered a URL… “Blue Penguin”. But dropped it after I realize so many products preface their name with “Blue”.
Finally, maybe the masses don’t realize, but as a long time Linux user… how similar is this?
X Windows System, began in 1984!
WordPress changed expand image on click
It use to be an option on the right. Now it’s a Link to option.
Finally uninstalled piece of crap Floorp
Tried it months ago, and I liked it. All of a sudden i couldn’t get to Udemy…
I must have waited and hoped through 5-6 updates. Same thing every time. Ridiculous name anyway!
RT11 Install/run
This is the result of the quickest/easiest install from following the YouTube video. Which didn’t work the first time. See below for the reason.

RT-11 V5.3
Installation of RT-11 Version 5.3 is complete and you are now
executing from the working volume (provided you have used the
automatic installation procedure). DIGITAL recommends you verify
the correct operation of your system's software using the
verification procedure. To do this, enter the command:
IND VERIFY
Note that VERIFY should be performed only after the distri-
bution media have been backed up. This was accomplished as part
of automatic installation on all RL02, RX02, TK50, and RX50
based systems, including the MicroPDP-11 and the Professional
300. If you have not completed automatic installation, you must
perform a manual backup before using VERIFY. Note also, VERIFY
is NOT supported on RX01 diskettes, DECtape I or II, or the
Professional 325.
DIGITAL also recommends you read the file V5NOTE.TXT, which
contains information formalized too late to be included in the
Release Notes. V5NOTE.TXT can be TYPED or PRINTED.

Install/Run RT11
This is the result of following the longer/more steps install here… but it worked! The quicker/easier YouTube install (above) didn’t work the first time I tried it because there is a point in the video where you’re supposed to press enter, but you weren’t told to and how would I know just because the screen jumped. When I switched to the system monitor, it showed a lot of CPU activity, which made me assume it was working when in fact… it was waiting. But this tutorial said you needed to so I redid the YouTube tutorial above.

Thunderbird RSS gripe
There is a feature to “pause updates”, that doesn’t seem to do anything. This isn’t new, just posting about it now.
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 as out for delivery!
But that’s a lie. I ordered it on the 4th. They said, on the item description page, arriving between the 8-10th. Here, after I placed the order, they say the 10th.
The day after I ordered it… they say
Perhap’s the delivery, is not ebays fault, because supposedly it arrived at Opa Locka, just 20 mi south of me… on the 9th. But they did lie saying the “original estimate was the Tue, Apr 9th – Thu Apr 11th”
Simulators vs. Emulators
I heard someone in a YouTube video describe simh as a simulator. And it made me curious. So I tried to dig in a bit.
It could change in the future but as of this date… Wikipedia describes simh as an emulator. Trailing-edge calls it a simulator. Open Simh calls themselve a simulator. But they also list themselves on another of their webpages titled “The emulation Community”. Hercules calls themselves an emulator.
At this point, I don’t know why it matters. There many conflicting discussions about this.
