You can stopwatching me if you find this ill timed, of course.

@y6nH

Of course it "hertz" me to admit my flaws, too.

Aunt Milli is a frequent visitor and is a mega fan of computers.

@y6nH

True. But I'm an old guy. I still think in terms of 1950's tech.

centisecond

/ˈsɛntɪˌsɛk(ə)nd/
noun
One hundredth of a second.

Origin
Early 20th century; earliest use found in Professional & Amateur Photographer. From centi- + second, after French centiseconde.

==========

I have trouble with "one-thousand and one, one-thousand-and-two". Olympic swimmers are timed to the centisecond. Milliseconds are the time range of computers.

@BobTarte

Good point!

Do you suppose the spider is dreaming of lunch?

@he_xie

Sorry. Site lacks glittery unicorns, but there is the occasional T-Rex.

Today, we are ever more twitterpated by the pronouncements of celebrities and politicians, especially when delivered on Twitter!

@dogtrax

Good times!

In every event there is a winner who cries "VICTORY!" while all the rest wait for their next chance.

(And yet...winning the prize may not be all it is cracked up to be.)

Auditioning the pretty words
Weaning from the lowing herds
Seeking a select few
Less than a selected few,
Just those with perfect class
A little piquant and a little sass,
To build a small poem with.
The life of a wordsmith.

White box on "dark" though really dark themes might be tough.

@finn

This post is sufficient reason to follow.

@welshgeekboy

Thanks for connecting.

Do you use both Puffinux accounts equally?

Should I follow both?

I've settled on just using one account, I think.

@harroun

Thanks for making this connection.

I think you are the third person from your instance today!

I have a user's perspective on GNU/Linux and otherwise talk about mostly foolish stuff I enjoy doing.

Follow until it suits you not to do so.
