Cobol Here I come
Category: linux

Based on conversations at (e:pmt)'s New Years party, being a dinosaur with some vague 30 year old course work in Cobol makes me somewhat marketable if I brush up on my Cobol coding skills.

Well, there is something called Open Cobol that is Cobol compiler that runs on linux. Fedora has it in it's repositories.

Hopefully, I can get it to work. And code, code, code my way into a new job.

Work 1, Beer Club 0

I hope y'all had a fun time at Beer Club. Perhaps if Jupiter aligns with Mars and Peace guides the Planets or I get fired, I'll make it to Beer Club in February.

The next date should be 2/8 (2nd Wednesday of the month). I can't commit to it in February because of bar review, but the gang will welcome y'all!

Thanks (e:tinypliny). (e:mrmike) - it's the Mr. Goodbar Good Beer Club. (e:heidi) and several others have posted about it here.

Yeah, I need info on this, beer club sounds like something worthy of my membership.

From the same guy who gave us

I love the guitar playing machine. The machine plays a guitar with 4 strings just like Ricky Wilson. I am in awe.

tinypliny - 12/17/11 06:35
Wonder how long it took to set it all up and program it. wow.

I knew scanners could produce sound but I never even considered the idea of hard drives as precussive devices. House of the Rising Sun played by machines. Geeks Rock

I went to check out what the original actually looked like (I have only heard it on mum's LP records.) And found this: :::link:::

Can you believe those suits?!!
hahaha

I changed my mind. I like the version you posted better. I am superficial that way. If they had been dressed like Aerosmith... I might have liked that video better. But that thing looks like a wake. I wish I had never seen it!

I finally got around to listening to this in full. One word. Beautiful! :) I love the original, btw and this is just as melodious and awesome. Thanks so much for sharing!
