Feeling terrible because you missed your #deadline to #register or request your #ballot?

You can still MAKE A DIFFERENCE by reaching out to at least two friends or family members, either abroad or stateside, and telling them how important this election is!

Talk to them and make sure they VOTE!

Then you'll feel better, knowing you helped ensure a victory for #HarrisWalz2024 and to #FflipTheHouseBlue and #KeepTheSenate!

Smashing the limits: Installing Windows XP in DOSBox-X

A couple of months ago, I tried to install (the unsupported) Windows XP in DOSBox-X. Well, it was not easy.

I’m obsessed with #whale poop: ‘It can be neon green, bright red – or even sparkle’ - theguardian.com/environment/20… classic Guardian headline...

Oddly I get snarky comments when I read the on-line Guardian, but I can read it on here without any, so on here is where I will read it.

Trying a simple abd lazy compost solution..


Had a 1m of 10cm PVC pipe I was planning to use for a hydroponic project that I gave up and decided to try a lazy man's compost solution with it.

Made a lot of holes in the first 20cm of the pipe (with 3 and 5mm drill bits) and pushed it into a pot I used to have a tomato plant in. Planted some mint around it and put a small pot on top to work as the cover I may plant sometimes there later.

Whenever I have some #vegetables left over, I put them in the pipe and will have good compost in it by the summer as the worms in the pot go in an out of the holes, eating the vegetable and turn it to #fertilizer.

At the same time, I am going to have unlimited mint to have for tea or salad.

I may cover and paint the pipe, or maybe cover it with some wood I saved from orange boxes to make it look pretty.

Happy Reading Thursday 📚

Another beautiful week, another issue on the Storyteller's Byte Tales newsletter.

This issue shares debugging techniques and tools in Django as well as an interesting feature on Django 5.0.

Its also exciting to see Python as the highest ranked on Github.

Enjoy!
