A few weeks ago and what I gather was caused by some terrible combination of sinus medication I had a dream that was singing a lounge version of “head like a hole” in the Regal Begal. Jack, Larry, the girls, etc. were all there. Michelob was served.

It was a delightful night but also one of terrible, poisonous nostalgia.

I feel that nostalgia feeds on us now. It was weaponized by the marketers to get us to buy back feelings of youth and a “time” but it has gone beyond that now. It has become a bizarre Goya-esque version of Saturn eating his children.

I started running windows 3.1 in a virtual machine (for reasons better left unexplained for now) and started tooling around with good ol’ original Microsoft paint.

Having finished the drawing I then wanted to save it and get it outside of the box. However, many issues prevented me from doing so (up to and including not having any virtual floppy disks of virtual drivers for my virtual cd-rom). FRUSTRATION!

However, a bit of searching came up with this handy command for creating virtual floppies from scratch which can then be used within the virtual machines.

The new year is for suckers
