You're so full of it. I lived there 14 years and worked across the street from Margaritaville at 525 Duval. They didnt even have piped music on the street.

I have been here 7 years and you cant get away from it.

Sounds more like Jimmy Buffett hell.

It is, although we do have the Buffett week where many cool bands come from all over the world to play at the bars.
Get this, Buffett shows up at HIS bar landing @ the military base on his private helicopter and goes to his bar and plays for about a hour and leaves during Buffett week.
I do know his sister personally, she lives here, she is a cool person most of the time but a stubborn woman when it comes to business.
I dont dislike Buffett, its just gets so old after a while but the tourists love it.

Some people say that there's a woman to blame.

You have no idea how many times i hear that walking down Duval Street, Key West is Jimmie buffet paradise, i cant stand his songs anymore.

Cow farts

The cure to all mankind's energy issues

Decided to come back for a bit, i see we have some sort of shoe discussion in the form, how intriguing.

Not very interested in tonight's guest, back to my struggle to master Gary Moore songs and playing style, i have The Loner just about mastered.
Have fun folks

I bought a small gps engine that I am going to try and integrate into it to give the the time. You can buy an add on clock, but it costs about the same, and I figure I might want location as well.

It keeps time with my 20000mAh battery on the pi2, if they had a capacitor in it it may hold RT for a day or so.
The pi3 is more power hungry.
im interested on how your experiment turns out, let me know if you get it to work in a PM.

Does it have a real time clock yet?

Not sure, its a good question, looking at it i dont think so.
i see no battery

Spoiler Alert: You would really freak out if you knew what I did in the Air Force

i wouldn't, well maybe.
People would freak out to know i have a medium security clearance because im a contractor for the Navy.
just about all contractors have some level of clearance.

The 3 is out now. I have a B and two B+s I have to get working first LOL

Wi fi and bluetooth built in will save some of the cable clusterfuk.

Love my goats.

Crazy? Or not as crazy as magnetized blankets? Discuss.

My gal pal ordered some of the lemongrass goat soap stuff, will let you guys know how she likes it.

What's going to change in the update. You can already make a decent arcade system with the 2, I think. They're pretty cool little systems for $40 

The Pi3 is powerful, and still only 35 bucks plus shipping in the USA
i have a Pi2, i run Kali linux on it for portable nefarious pen testing

some of the old namco arcade games translated really well to C64.

impossible mission and raid over moscow were both pretty fun. i played bruce lee a lot too.

Im kinda excited about the new Raspberry Pi 3, it may be a fun project to make a arcade box

what's your favorite commodore 64 game?

Hard to remember some of them, but i spent countless hours playing Galaga on the 64

You know Jimmie?

Took me a min but i got it, man i got to start drinkin a few beers, i would have got that one right away if i had a few beers in me.

Yeah, I built one from a kit for McDonnell Douglas back in 82 that was a Z80 with the CP/M OS. That was my entry point into PCs and PC programming.

That brings back memories, my Timex Sinclair is a ZX80, i think its a whopping 3 or 4 mhz LOL

Umm, yeah. Apple made the first PC and coined that term too. I'm not a programmer and prefer ease of use so Apple has my number in that regard. Though I've always found Linux intriguing. I understatnd that the OSX kernal is based on it anyway. 

OSX is Unix based just like Linux, but OSX is more similar to BSD , also Unix based

I believe Olivetti was one of the first Personal Computers, i still have my Timex Sinclair and TRS80 FFS

Oh, I agree in theory that they are all but dead. My last quibble is just that iTunes should have more edit features for playlists because you still can't make a decent mix with it currently. Now that I've voiced that opinion I'm sure the updates will be coming soon 

I dont use iTunes, Audacity does everything i need and its cross platform, and free

Quote from: Dr. MD MD on March 02, 2016, 12:21:46 AM
That's a no go for me. I'm on a mac. I have a PC but please don't make me use it 

A Mac is a PC, you bought into the Apple Mac VS PC gimmick?
I'm on Linux right now, its a PC
Personal Computer

I'm avoiding it. Saw the trailer, and it just seems like Ryan Reynolds making stupid and not-at-all clever jabs for two hours. "Hey, look at me, I'm a superhero. Who woulda thought. Insert witty line here". Also, Ryan Reynolds is a stupid cunt and I can't stand him.

I liked it, but its not a movie i would see again, the latest Star Wars i would see again, not Deadpool

Quote from: Dr. MD MD on March 02, 2016, 12:15:58 AM
You know I've been saying discs are dead for years now but I've recently started burning CDs again because I still don't find there is enough edit control within iTunes. You can't do custom crossfades and I really need that when I make a mix.

I didn't even install a optical drive when i built my gaming rig, lots of prebuilts dont even come with them anymore.
HDD and flash drives are cheap and frankly are easy to edit and more reliable than optical disks.

Quote from: akwilly on March 02, 2016, 12:13:49 AM
I enjoyed it.

I did as well, sometimes movies are hyped so much i guess i always expect more.

Hey anybody seen Deadpool? I saw it Sunday with my gal pal, She actually liked it better than i did, not saying i didn't like it but it seems over rated.
Its kinda like Airplane meets Tarantino.

Then why do I get farm supplies?

That one gave me a huge grin, tnx
