My memory told me that the first #Madagascar movie was released in the mid-to-late #1990s, not the #2000s ( #2005 ). I never saw it, but I remembered a friend's son being excited about it.
Now that I have thought about it, the kid surprised everyone by reading about Madagascar the island in an encyclopedia back in 1994, when he was 3½, and it was an item for discussion for the next few years. So it wasn't the movie after all. -

So much that I used to say "do not apply for an extension" to certain friends and everyone knew what I was talking about.

I have noticed in the last few years that a lot of it no longer evokes the same strong emotions that it once did.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

I like a lot of the #1980s music also, so I could still listen if I had the inclination.
I think I remember hearing songs by Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Human League while I was doing my laundry. There were a small number of songs that I did not recall hearing before, but there was a point in the 1980s and #1990s that I was so busy working and taking classes that I barely heard radio at all, so they could still be from the 1980s time period.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

The laundromat had a radio playing. #KRTH-101 used to be oldies from the late #1950s through the #1960s to the early #1970s (since they changed to that format around 1974), so I was very surprised when everything I heard appeared to be from the late 1970s through the #1980s to early #1990s.
I liked the music, but it wasn't the K-Earth I used to listen to. It felt like the old K-Earth was lost.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

1. Smalltalk's image-based system didn't mesh well with OS filesystems;
2. #Smalltalk vendor turmoil and their high pricing.
(I wasn't even aware of the language's existence until the late #1990s. I took numerous programming courses over the years, but I never heard ST mentioned until another student mentioned it in a #Java course. )

N-5-O-body (n5admin@n5.federati.net)'s status on Monday, 13-Jan-2020 20:08:30 UTC N-5-O-body Personally, I never liked #IRC, so I quickly stopped using it back in the late #1990s. Sometime in the 2000s or 2010s, I started to use #SILC (through their CLI client based on the "irssi" IRC client), and only through SILC did I learn to tolerate IRC. Today, I almost always use IRC through bridges to #Matrix or #XMPP MUCs.
And even though I usually have multiple terminal windows open on my desktop, I only use GUI IRC clients.In conversation from n5.federati.net permalink -

I often watched with some of my nephews and #sonTwo.
I'm not happy with #Disney these days, as they are too large, too monopolistic, and too copyright maximalist. But at the time, we somehow scraped up enough money to get Disneyland & Disney California Adventure season tickets for a year or two, and we went multiple times.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

I’m just at the beginning of it, but it *feels* old with all its 1990s references. (The content seems to be still accurate and useful, but the reference and examples feel like I found my old VB5 textbook.)

When #sonOne joined the USNavy in the #1990s, I vehemently disagreed. As a result of that disagreement and his somewhat difficult teen years, we barely spoke for about twelve years.
Yesterday, I finally told him that the military benefited him (maturity, training & experience, a pattern of income) that he never would have gotten had he not chosen that path. I used these words: “I was wrong”.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink
