He headed to a bin and began digging through a pile of dirty cables.
"Pieces of seven! Pieces of seven!" squawked the bird.
"Why does he…" the greybeard started to ask.
"Oh. It's a parroty error." (4/4)

A stooped, slim elderly man stepped out of the backroom, wiping his greasy hands off with a rag.
"What can I do you for?" he asked.
"I need an RS232 adapter for a Centronics parallel port connector."
The man thought for a moment then said, "I think I got one." (2/4)

"Pieces of seven! Pieces of seven!" he heard.
He turned and saw a bird cage by the register with a colorful macaw. It looked at him first with one eye and then the other.
"Pieces of seven! Pieces of seven!" it squawked, its #pupil contracting and expanding spasmodically. (2/4) #wss366

The bell on the door clanged when the stout greybeard pushed into the store. He looked around at all the old technology junk. His eyes lighted first on a teletype with a paper tape reader. He smiled. He hadn't seen one of those since he was a kid. (1/4)

Elon Musk wants to do the same thing to the United States that he did to Twitter (ie, make it lose 71% of its value.)

With corporations becoming compliant to the government, you might want to maintain some skepticism that when you visit a website, your DNS look-ups aren't directing you to some look-a-like site that impersonates the site you meant to visit. I'm not saying this is happening or will happen. But it *could* happen and you should periodically be aware that it might be happening.

I can just see in a couple of years, people will be saying, "Remember when you used to be able to check and see what the weather was going to be like?"

#WritersCoffeeClub Shameless self-promotion. What writing project are you working on?

I'm currently spending most of my writing time working on a third novella sequel to *Revin's Heart*. I plan to publish all three together in a collected volume. The first two, *Devishire!* and *Campshire!*, are done. It only has the working title "After Campshire" at the moment. I think readers will find it eye-opening.

My other current project, *The Ground Never Lies* is on the back burner at the moment.

I guess by taking the T out of LGBT, they're saying that trans women are just women.

I always said Obama should have shut down the Guantanamo Bay naval base and given it back to Cuba. The US should never have been there in the first place. And as long as the US has it, it will remain a temptation for the government to use it for extrajudicial action.

As usual.

#WritersCoffeeClub How’s your writing progress so far this year? What are you working on?

To be honest, my writing progress has been only middling. There's (waves hands) all this going on. I've been working on the third novella sequel to *Revin's Heart*, which is shaping up to be an exciting ride. And I don't worry too much about uneven productivity. As I've said elsewhere, my creative output has always been uneven. Having fun with it is more important that hitting some arbitrary word count.
