@Fishmongering I don't have a spare VAX but I do have a 1997-vintage Sun Javastation if you'd like to set up bootp on Solaris!
12:36 donsizemore
@Fishmongering it ran Netscape so we used it as an e-mail kiosk

@donsizemore - java is write once, run everwhere - I'm sure a 1997-vintage javastation would work fine ;)

My first email account was on a VAX. There was no backspace so I was very careful.
15:24 pameyer
my only experience with VAX was in grad school, when I missed on opportunity to scavange one to use as a coffee table
15:25 pameyer
no backspace would be a big problem with my typing habits...
15:28 pdurbin
Eventually, word spread from a greybeard of the key combination that was equivalent to a backspace. And there was much rejoicing.

Googling Microsoft's new name for it's data platfrom and I'm guessing this is not related!
17:19 pameyer
microsoft has a dataverse now?
17:20 pameyer
there have been folks from Microsoft at past Dataverse community meetings; no idea if that's related to your googling
17:42 pameyer
https://powerplatform.microsoft.com/en-us/dataverse/ looks very unlike https://dataverse.org to me

love the little hard hat on dude's cubicle desktop
18:01 pameyer
depending on where I've got the camera, my zoom background sometimes has dogbert wearing my camping hat
18:07 donsizemore
I may bring you my "More Stupidity Ahead: the Dilbert Future" bumper sticker with Dilbert and Dogbert in spacesuits. also 90s vintage
18:07 pameyer
:)
18:09 pameyer
somehow hearing that Dilbert existed in the 90s makes me feel old

"Common Data Service, the sophisticated and secure backbone that powers Dynamics 365 and Power Platform, has been renamed to Microsoft Dataverse." https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/reshape-the-future-of-work-with-microsoft-dataverse-for-teams-now-generally-available/
19:18 pdurbin
great
19:33 donsizemore
you know you've arrived when Microsoft steals your project name
19:39 pdurbin
"A fresh name is just one part of a broader effort introduce the power of what Dataverse can do to individuals and organizations around the world."
19:39 pdurbin
yeah, I guess :)
19:51 pameyer
"the power of Dataverse" sounds like a phrase I may have heard before
19:55 pdurbin
:)
20:28 donsizemore
what is it that can make the coldest day seem warm?
20:30 pdurbin
hot chocolate
20:33 pameyer
warm apple cider with cinnamon
20:34 pameyer
if you can manage a nap by a fireplace, that's another good option
21:33 pdurbin
hopefully we'll find out the answer tomorrow :)
