Ada packaged editor
I took some programming classes somewhere around '95-'97. The language of instruction was Ada. We downloaded a .zip file that contained an editor, a compiler, linker, etc that could be run on DOS to code in Ada.

Anyone know what that .zip package might have been? More specifically, I'd be interested in finding the included text editor. If you're not sure yourself :) please repeat this message :)

Thanks,

@UncleDuke1969 Is it just me or is anyone else reminded of Brad Pitt looking at this pic?

Young child and cat jointly holding a pencil, writing in a notebook at a desk. The cat looks put out.

Don't put off until tomorrow that which can be put off until next week.

@kiv123 Hi, have a look at https://fedi.tips/ The person who runs that website is also here on the fediverse and regularly publishes tips. If you want to have tips in your timeline regularly, simply follow @feditips Welcome!

@highvoltage Oh! Then what is your first? I'd thought English was.

@highvoltage Awesome! What was the 2nd language?

@highvoltage Awesome! I'd love to hear how this goes. Can you manage the click and pop consonants or is that a work in progress?

@edward looks more like frothnorth ๐Ÿ˜

@mjg59 Wow! Thanks for this toot. And, @Anarcat thanks for repeating it. This really needs to make the rounds.

I use a dining room table as my desk, so there is space behind the monitor. It's occupied by a variety of things like power bricks for numerous devices, hubs, devices currently not being played with, etc. Not having to reach around that imposing screen to access that space is refreshing.

I'm not sure I'll put the screen back right away, even if it does end up being repairable.

I have a 24" LED monitor to complement my laptop's screen. I've removed the monitor because it's showing signs of failure and needs to be dealt with.

While the loss of the extra visual real estate is felt, especially for things like LibreOffice, GIMP, web browser, etc., it has quite nicely opened the space in front of me.

Try new EaseTurd, the springtime laxative that purifies your mind while resurrecting your digestive tract.

@WecanbeGyros Oh! I thought Trumps legal team just pricked his finger and used the colourless white paste that runs in his veins.

@Mjo321 I'm not sure I should believe that article..... :)

@UncleDuke1969 Yeah, I just dumped my tea down the drain and poured myself a glass of water ๐Ÿ˜œ

@Mjo321 April Fools' Day on a Saturday! What an affront to school kids every where!

@bobjonkman @silverwizard @me

I haven't made bread in over 20 years, so I can't fill you in on the details of the ingredients. But, I do remember that making my own sourdough starter was dead simple.

Flour, water and whatever, maybe nothing, else the recipe said into a jar, covered with something to keep out bugs and dust (loose lid? cheese cloth?) and put it on top of the fridge for X days. Bingo.

What are you folks trying?
