From downtown Ottawa to (and on) the Gatineau municipal dock across the Ottawa River. Music added for entertainment value.
This is why they make lights the way they do in the US - vertical lights always have red at the top and green at bottom, and horizontal lights have red at left and green at right. I think those lights with red at both ends are just confusing, even if you're not color blind.My Dad, who is colorblind (red and green) was confused by the horizontal traffic lights; kept asking us about whether or not the lights were red.![]()
Yeah, I never could understand why they do that. The only logical explanation (if one wants to think a government agency would use that as a criteria) is if the bulb burns out you still have a second 'red light'....I think those lights with red at both ends are just confusing, even if you're not color blind.
Well when they do that here, (usually on a turn lane) both reds are together at the top or left. Keeps it consistent.Yeah, I never could understand why they do that.

Yeah, one of the things that's stuck in my head all these years was the computer in the US pavilion; if you typed your name on the keyboard, it would repeat it back to you, something like "hello ___; how are you today?" or some such nonsense. Probably required four pages of machine code to do that (what would nowadays take a few lines of FORTRAN or C).Ahh, Expo 67 ! great souvenirs ! the world seemed like it was ready to bloom into something very special back then ... (not saying it hasn't). Probably because as a young lad, it would be easy to be overwhelmed by such a worldly display.
Basic was around in the 60s wasn't it? Something like that was one of the first little programs I ever did to lean how strings worked.Yeah, one of the things that's stuck in my head all these years was the computer in the US pavilion; if you typed your name on the keyboard, it would repeat it back to you, something like "hello ___; how are you today?" or some such nonsense.

If some one pointed a gun to my head and said make a weppeage with white background color and your name in black on it or i kill you, i would have to ask him to pull the trigger now and just be done with it.
Microsoft OSes are always horrible when they first come out with a new major version.![]()

They make it sound like Windows 3.0 never happened...

seem like young ppl today got nothing out of the internet
Don't blame MS for that - blame Californians. APPs is short for Applications which in turn is short for Application Programs. Californians hate multi-syllable words (or they are extremely lazy?) so everything gets shortened. Application programs become APPs, radical becomes RAD, etc....I still have not come to term with MS renaming my programs to APPs
