    #Daddy_A says that should tell the security investigator that I once started a “love train” in McDonalds. I’d forgotten about that. I remember how embarrassed #sonTwo was.

    #sonTwo also installed #Lubuntu on an IdeaPad with 32GB eMMC, which I had sent when his wife decided to return to college and her prior computer was too old.

    Hmm. #sonTwo, who turned his back on tech stuff to pursue drama and photography half his life ago, now has a GitHub account.

    Still trying to get #sonTwo and #Daddy_A together to test multipoint videochat and audiochat on #Wire, #Jitsi_Meet, #Nextcloud_Talk (whenever I get that one set up). So far, I have one-to-one chats with sonTwo plus his wife and #GS3 almost daily; one-to-one chats with #sonOne plus #GD1 and #GD2 (wife usually appears briefly) every week, and one-to-one chats with Daddy A plus wife, #Little_Boy_A, #Little_Boy_A2, #Little_Girl_A3 about 1-2 times per year.

    Having a (brief) conversation with #sonTwo about sorting algorithms. This has not been possible since he was about fifteen.

    That could be true. The last Timmy I knew was a co-worker's kid a few years older than #sonTwo. I would say he is 35-40 by now.

    Good morning and #TZAG. I awoke around 02:45 US-Pacific (three hours ago). Since I could not get back to sleep, I got up to start my day. Three hours later, I'm tired.

    Today is downweight, but still above a psychologically important barrier.

    Still no answer from my 32 year old ( #sonTwo ) or my 30 year old ( #Daddy_A ) about having a multi-way videochat today.

    Waiting to hear whether we're going to try another multipoint videochat tomorrow. I invited #sonTwo and #Daddy_A (tomorrow's plan is #Wire and #JitsiMeet ... I still have not set up #Nextcloud Talk, which is also on our list). #sonOne is currently working 6-10s, so I didn't invite him.

    We're discussing #sonTwo's homework assignment right now. #C_language. It's like reliving the 1990s, except back then I took Pascal before C.

    #sonTwo was laid off from his $EMPLOYER until the "stay at home" orders are lifted. He spent one day extending his fence (still more to do before it encloses the entire yard), then got a part-time job delivering pizza. He had an interview and he told them "my dad always taught me to work".

    I think him seeing me work two jobs and attend school while he grew up is making him into a clone of me.

    #sonTwo still trying to figure out how to install a Linux distro. I didn't find a video for the exact model of Lenovo IdeaPad (the Win10 "notebook/laptop" that is basically just a netbook because of the weak processor, little RAM, and tiny eMMC storage), but the ones I sent should be close. In his defense, the last time he did so, he was probably 15 or 16. He's 32 now.

    I think he's probably more confused about getting the Ubuntu ISO onto a flash drive. (I sent a link to something called "Rufus", but told him I've never tried it myself.)

    I'm trying mostly to send him video links, so he sees the entire process. If it wasn't for the COVID-19 outbreak, I'd tell him to take his computer

    It feels so cool talking to #sonTwo about things like binary search trees and web site scraping. For the past fifteen years, he's been pretty uninterested in such topics. But on the other hand, I've learned things about theater performances, concerts, and photography that I would never have discovered on my own.

    #sonTwo has been asking me questions about installing Linux on a couple of their old laptops (one is a Lenovo Ideapad, which has about 32GB of disk [or rather, eMMC]).

    I'm going to have to just point him to YouTube videos, as it isn't really possible to give him the reassurance via telephone and chat that he can somehow remember a process he hasn't used in half his lifetime.

    He hasn't yet installed on his servers either.

    @clacke In California, publicly-owned colleges and universities cannot charge tuition by law, so instead they charge "enrollment fees".

    The community college fees are pretty reasonable. In #sonTwo's case, the school district picked up his enrollment fees, so I just had to pay for books and lab fees.

    California State University's fees are probably in the lower half of costs at state-owned institutions, but depending on a family's resources and financial aid eligibility, it may still be out of reach without student loans. https://www2.calstate.edu/attend/paying-for-college

    The University of California's fees are higher (more prestige, I guess). https://admission.universityofcalfironia.edu/tuition-financial-aid/tuition-cost-fo-attendance/

    Wow. #sonTwo, who turned from the #Unix administration (local college course taught using #Linux and #FreeBSD) and C++ (local college course using Windows IDE) to theater and photography when he was in high school, suddenly finds himself needing to become acquainted with #JavaScript.

    $CELLULAR_CARRIER has one of the worst web sites for getting anything done. Not that their call-in operators are exactly great either, but I think I successfully removed #sonTwo and his wife from my plan. Now I just have to send in $160 to pay off another phone (lost in transit during the return process) and my bill should be around one-third to one-half what it was.

    Back in the 1990s, a local radio station's call letters suggested a certain word, so they used that as their nickname. I've always since then used their call letters instead of that word.

    #sonTwo told me today that he gets funny looks when he does that (because of course, no one in Missouri would know the history of the radio station calling itself by that word).

    Gave me a chuckle.

    I was on the phone with #sonTwo at the time. He called me stupid. I wasn't going to stay outside, I just wanted to be outside long enough to see the tornado and then run inside the hotel and find somewhere to shelter.
