Despite taking a tumble, this compaq 386 still kinda works. Separate issue is the CMOS battery died so I'll have to replace that and make a diag disk.
Sounds like this will just be a really cool custom 386 machine when I'm done with it.

This is highly relatable.

He was genuinely one of the kindest souls in the world. He loved his art and was responsible for my love of storytelling. I am absolutely heartbroken I'm never going to have the chance to see him again.

So Tuesday is my best friend's birthday. He unfortunately passed in 2024, I guess it'll get better as time passes but it really sucks now.
The main trauma is really rough but nobody ever tells you about the random triggers and secondary effects that at least for me are worse than the immediate loss.
Happy birthday to Divine! Today would have been her 80th birthday.

Iβm at a @moreneighbors.org fundraiser thatβs organized as a fun Mpls vs St. Paul comedy roast. Itβs fun because the Mpls folks roast St Paul, and the St Paul peopleβ¦ also roast St Paul.
