Considering how many web addresses with similar spellings lead to malware sites, it's usually safer to do a search rather than typing a long address from memory.
OP probably wrote himself a little nap program in BASIC back in the early 90s, just to wake him up in an hour. But when he ran the program and laid down he didn’t realize his computer was in turbo mode. The clock flew and the tears whirled by and when he woke up an “hour” later the only evidence of the world he’d left behind … was this bizarre one hour timeout in the weird graphical software of the future.
His only chance to return home is to turbo the unturboable: time itself! But in a backwards direction, which is even more impossible!
Or, to give up and live in the future … as a much older version of himself.
Because I don’t clutter my neatly organised folders for things I use once in a while. And if auto complete doesn’t finish, googling and selecting the first non ad site is a safe bet when u don’t know the full address.
This library works with a Notebook Adapter, which could be one of the original DB9 RS232C serial devices or a DIY emulator like github.com/synthead/timex-datalink-arduino! Here is a Teensy LC running timex-datalink-arduino, syncing a Datalink 150 using its onboard LED!
The small onboard LED allows a Timex Datalink 150 watch to sync from a few inches away. With an external LED, it is possible to sync your watch from several feet away.
An LED can be added tidily to the Teensy LC by soldering an LED cathode (short leg) to the ground pin near the PROG pin, then connecting the anode (long leg) to pin 13 with a resistor, as pictured below.
I discovered that the best performance is obtained by using white LEDs, but every color I tested worked without problems. The LED pictured above is a white 20mA/3-3.2V 14000mcd LED paired with a stiff ¼W 22Ω resistor.
I don’t expect this to be a permanent place to archive this material :) I’ve been thinking of putting a website up (or even a GitHub repository) to archive this stuff at some point. This gives us a small community to share development, pictures, have some nerd chat, etc.
I’m really happy to say that someone already popped in and shared some programs from their friend’s stash of burned optical media! There were some dead links on archive.org for some of these, and now we have them!!
Sadly, there’s some places in the U.S. with that word in their name too. As far as the other one goes, here in Indiana, we have the town of Floyds Knobs.
It is true, but it also goes a little deeper than that. In the 1980s, Amy Yip, a Hong-Kong sexy actress, was extremely popular in Taiwan along with her nickname "波霸" (boba, or "the biggest balls" in Cantonese). Around the same time, people started to put tapioca pearls in drinks, and called the bigger tapioca pearls "boba."
In recent years, people do consider it's improper to use such a term and has been slowly moving to more SFW words as "大/小珍珠" (big/small pearls) in Taiwan, but "boba" has stuck too deep in the English speaking world.
