I'm aware it's been a while. I've been tinkering with my website and generally acting my age. A whole new experience. 
EDIT: Every time I get something to work something else breaks. It's quite frustrating. I wont really call HTML/CSS/Javascript (and setting up a RDBMS while also configuring the ton of small programs) "programming". It's a mess!
EDIT2: I yearn for something embedded. A simple chip I can talk to in assembler and we can have fun together.

Assembler was the second computer language I learned back around 1980, after "BASIC" in high school, of course. (circa 1975)sbrothy said:

Lately I have been choosing the word that seems the least likely to be used in a casual conversation.

How do your stats look? Compared to yours I bet mine aren't impressive considering my lack of discipline:

Actually I meant that in general the words used by Wordle now are now not words that would be used in a casual conversation.sbrothy said:You can't just say that without telling us what word it is!
