Having now spent two full time days wrestling with old floppy disks to try to save some data for a dev's family...wow I hate floppy disks, and wow imaging them is complicated as hell, and WOW am I glad I know people like @Foone and @Artemio

@Foone

@Foone

@Foone @Artemio So far I have encountered FOUR different proprietary disk backup software suites that this one developer used, in the span of four years. None of them have tools online to extract with, heck, one doesn't even have the old TOOL online

@Foone

@Foone

@Foone @Artemio At least one of them writes its own proprietary disk format, so DOS looks at it and shrugs.

@Foone

@Foone @Artemio And just to make it extra fun, Kryoflux just...stopped being recognized by Windows. I think I encountered an issue where I stopped the head in a weird place when I didn't like how it was reading the disk, and now it's stuck.

Izuku is the adopted child in an old traditional witch family. He has shown enough talent to learn everything from very young, and he's barely 18 when he opens his own shop for magic crafts and medicines.
One morning on his way to the river, he hears grunts and rustle from

behind some bushes.
He approaches carefully, even though he has his ways to defend himself and isn't weak at all, he's always stealthy. He gasps at what he finds; there's a person curling on them selves, but two details struck the most for Izuku; one, this person was certainly

not human. The large and fluffy caramel tail laid limp next to his legs, and their hands had long, rough nails that looked more like claws. Through golden hair, two brown triangles. Ears. .. a Dog?
The second thing that actually made Izuku move without thinking was the blood.

"mr qian, if you don't mind me saying—"

"kun."

johnny looks up from his gogo squeez. mr qian meets his eyes, a small smile playing around his lips. "my name is kun."

"kun." johnny's brain short circuits as it attempts to run through every possible combination of their names.

"uh, kun. if you don't mind me saying, i think you're doing a fine job of making friends. to me, anyways. and... for what it's worth, you're raising some really great kids."

kun sighs. "i hope so."

"are you kidding?!" johnny exclaims. "you're, like, super dad!"

those accursed, perfect eyebrows—johnny's newfound archnemeses—raise. "super dad?"

"yeah!" johnny splutters. "you brought a whole cooler of healthy snacks! you're so put together! your kids have lace-up shoes instead of velcro! you're all i've ever wanted! y'know, to, like, be!"

Hey, guys, it's Tuesday and council chambers are PACKED! I got turfed out of my normal seat. I think a lot of these folks are here for the vaping rules being considered, which include a higher age limit, flavor ban and a tax. Read about that here: boulderbeat.news/2019/07/19/bou…

Also on the agenda tonight: A check-in on CU South, an update on online petitioning (it's still not happening quickly) and a council discussion of use tables and the opportunity zone moratorium.

They won't be deciding anything tonight, nor is there a public hearing. Both those things will happen Aug. 27.

I have had PDs mentor grad students. It's important to check with both to make sure the mentoring is going well. Also let the student know the PD won't write the letter of Rec if the student doesn't want that.

Also, to any PD who abuses students this way: you suck. Stop. Never joke to an international student about deportation. It's not funny, ever. If you are someone who sees this behavior, don't encourage it, and if possible, report it.

Student 15: I felt that my MS advisor was verbally abusive. I frequently felt like a failure and it made it so that I was scared to go to him if something went wrong. Which of course made him more mad. 1/3
