4.241 day off

Sunday 07/30/2023

For fun I walked over to California Avenue. I have no imagination. A bunch of my neighbors went off to see Oppenheimer. A bunch of my neighbors went to a concert in the Music at Menlo summer series. Me? I went for a walk.

Lennie had done some googling and found that my new neighbor, Brian, had a sufficiently big career in computers that the CHM had done an oral history video. They have a large collection of oral histories. Anyway, I listened to his this afternoon. Interesting guy with an impressive resumé.

That reminded me, didn’t I write up a history of my career in tech? LIttle searching finds, yes I did, in 1995 just after I started at SGI. So I started reading that and obviously I had to edit it and bring it up to date. (Not much to add as my professional career finished with SGI.) But that killed another two hours.
