@Pat @davep I couldn't agree more.

@davep Oh yeah, I definitely remember those.

@davep Oh yeah. Those were the days. Remember smoking on a plane? I do. 🤣 Smoking on trains too. It was kind of insane when you think about everywhere we could actually smoke. And think about this: People used to smoke in the waiting room in hospitals. 🤣 I mean, c'mon!

@nullifidian @davep Thanks! 👍

@davep I know what you mean. I was born in 1970 so I grew up with it around me everywhere.

It's also very funny how everyone is drinking a scotch in the office. And yes, I remember people smoking in some elevators. They used to actually have ashtrays. 🤣

@nullifidian @davep Yeah I never actually heard them (and I've got a collection of old BBC Radio shows). I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for reminding me.

I believe at archive.org or something they have the entire old BBC collection including LOTR, HHGTTG and a few other classic ones.

@davep Well, the books are great but very, very, 1950s. I mean, to a T. You have guys in "futuristic offices" still smoking cigarettes, talking with 1950s lingo...you can sort of just imagine them patting the secretary on the butt and asking for another scotch. It's very dated. But the concepts are still amazing.

@davep The books are classic. The series is good but completely deviates from the books in so many ways. It's still good but...it's not *really* "Foundation" in a sense. Sort of in a peripheral way for the most part.

I finally fixed my blog on Github. It was down for something like three months or more. I just didn't have the time to fix it. I had this stupid git setup with two directories and repos and it just didn't make sense. Of course, when I tried to fix it so that it was only one directory/repo, it messed everything up and I just stopped for a while in frustration.

I finally sat down and rebuilt it from scratch (the repo). Should work now. Glad to have gotten that done.
