Four years ago Mina was already excelling as a chaos-gremlin.

A photo of month-old-kitten Mina, a grey tabby, leaping out of an enclosed cat bed to tackle her little brother Simon while looking quite ferocious.

Raindrops trace the paths of forgotten moments, slipping away, like tears in rain.

View through a rain-speckled window on a gloomy day, capturing a green lawn and the sea with its shoreline in the distance, blurred by the rain. The droplets on the glass resemble tiny, liquid memories, evoking a sense of nostalgia and the passage of time, like tears in rain.

#ThrowbackThursday to about 8 years ago... when Loki was still overweight, and Humphrey was still a tiny kitten... making for one of the greatest cat pics I've ever taken. 😻
#Cats #CatsOfMastodon

Photo of two cats laying on their sides, snuggled up together on a couch. The left cat is a large ginger cat named Loki, paws curled up, happily sleeping. On the right, riding his back, in nearly exactly the same position, is a tiny kitten named Humphrey. His belly pressed against Loki's back, and his front paw attempting to hug his giant sleeping partner. Humphrey literally looks like he's a backpack on the back of his giant brother.

Evening comes. And brings silence, colour and peace.

(Photo date: 6th December 2013)

Evening is coming, there’s a small river, some plants and some fields. The light is becoming orange and the clouds have nice colours. The orange sky is reflected by the river, and everything is calm and peaceful.

27 August 2011

A rare, tranquil moment of a turbulent year.

#Photography #Photo #Picture #Pic #ThrowbackThursday #UK #Scotland #Green #Countryside #Memories

A serene Scottish countryside landscape captured on the 27th of August 2011, with rolling hills in the distance displaying the distinctive purple hue of heather in bloom, a common sight in late summer. The expansive foreground is a lush, verdant green, with sections of farm fencing and clusters of trees adding texture to the pastoral scene. A solitary cow stands out in the green field, contributing to the rural charm. Overhead, the sky is a canvas of soft white clouds scattered across a calm blue, completing this picturesque view of the UK's natural beauty.

Hello, happy Thursday, Fediverse friends! Over the past few days, I've been dealing with a slight fever and took the opportunity to dive into some good books. The latest one is a re-read that never fails to move me: "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein. If you haven't picked it up yet, I highly recommend it. #Books #Recommendation #TheArtofRacingintheRain #GarthStein #Reading #ThrowbackThursday

"How it all began"

I saw an ad for this CD set at a very low price in a computer magazine. I decided to give it a try, enticed by the low cost and this 'alternative solution to Windows', and in late 1996 I ordered this set.
When it arrived, I was fascinated (having never used a Unix or Unix-like system before) but a bit daunted by the lack of support for the main applications I knew. A few months later, though, I decided to give it another go and from that point, I never looked back. Whether it was Linux, one of the BSDs, or something similar (but Unix or Unix-like), I was not going back to systems like Windows.

My #ThrowbackThursday today is probably one of the most significant in my computing life.

This is a photo of a 6-CD set case for "InfoMagic LINUX Developer's Resource". The CD case cover has a whimsical cartoon character on the front, which appears to be an anthropomorphic penguin dressed as a wizard, complete with a wizard's hat and a magic wand. The character is standing on a stylized representation of the globe. The background is blue and there is a yellow banner on the top right corner that says "QuickStart Guide inside". The packaging suggests that this is a software resource kit for Linux developers from the era when software was commonly distributed on CDs.

This is a photo of the back cover of the "InfoMagic LINUX Developer's Resource CD-ROM" case. The cover lists the contents of the 6-CD set, including distributions like Red Hat 3.0.3 "Picasso", Slackware 3.1, Debian GNU/Linux 1.1.4, and others, with various kernel sources up to version 2.0.12+. It mentions the inclusion of a "QuickStart" installation guide and additional software like X-Free86 Version 3.1.2, with references to online resources. There's also information about the included on-line documentation like "Installation & Getting Started Guide" by Matt Welsh and "Network Administrators Guide", as well as file format details. Contact information for InfoMagic, including telephone, fax, email, and web address, is listed, along with the company's address in Flagstaff, AZ. A barcode is present on the bottom right. The text indicates the product is from 1996, providing a glimpse into the distribution of Linux software in the mid-1990s.

Me and my first phone Over 40 years ago.

This photo has been on my grandma's living room cabinet for as long as I can remember. She passed away a couple of years ago, and to keep her memory alive, my wife suggested we keep it in our living room.

A blast from the past looking towards the future.

No, the phone doesn't run Android or iOS 😆

A vintage framed photograph of a young child with wide, curious eyes and light brown hair. The child is holding a red telephone receiver to their ear and wearing a white and red striped sweater with decorative elements. There are visible reflections and specks of dust on the glass covering the photo, which add to the nostalgic quality of the image.
