In April 2024, there will be a 10-day stretch of palindrome dates. A palindrome date is a date that can be read the same way forward and backward. This unique occurrence will begin on Saturday, April 20 and continue through Monday, April 29:
April 20, 2024 (4-20-24)
April 21, 2024 (4-21-24)
April 22, 2024 (4-22-24)
April 23, 2024 (4-23-24)
April 24, 2024 (4-24-24)
April 25, 2024 (4-25-24)
April 26, 2024 (4-26-24)
April 27, 2024 (4-27-24)
April 28, 2024 (4-28-24)
April 29, 2024 (4-29-24)
then, five more similar sequences through 2029.
After 2029, the next time a palindrome date like this will occur is in a millennium, on April 20, 3024.

End of an era: One of the most used, arguably best designed microprocessors in history, the Zilog Z80, reached its end of production last week.
It was first released in 1976, when the Z80 was a cutting edge processor for the best computers. As a kid I grew up programming Z80’s on Kaypro (Assembly, Pascal) and Cromemco computers in the early 1980’s. There’s a whole generation of us who did!
In more recent years, the Z-80 was still manufactured, sold for about $5 apiece. It was known as one of the most full-featured microprocessors to ever power embedded systems in clock radios, microwave ovens, vending machines, etc.
Long live the Z80!

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the precious gift of Your Word, which nourishes our souls. Your truth shines brilliantly, guiding our path and filling us with divine wisdom and peace.
Thank You for Your presence in our most challenging moments, offering solace, strength, and understanding when we are in need.
On this day, we humbly ask that Your justice and mercy be extended to those who have been wrongfully treated or falsely accused by the corrupt legal systems of this broken world.

Grant us the sensitivity to discern the Spirit's leading and the courage to follow wherever it guides us.

In the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Yes, it’s a unique time in history, isn’t it. Many days it feels like all of it can drive us crazy.
Well, plenty of good is still happening, if we look for it.
As this Sunday comes to a close, wishing everyone a great week ahead! 🤗

Recently received from a customer, "Guys,
Got the PC, first time user of Linux/Zorin but remember days of DOS and dabbled a bit with Unix once upon a time. Finally got a chance to actually sit down and play a bit.
Must say, I'm totally blown away. in one day, got updates to OS, Office, got ExpressVPN working well, played with command screen and codes, got FireFox, Thunderbird and emails working, WiFi playing and the whole thing working, in one day. I expected this to take weeks.
I'm blown away on how good this is and all my older PCs with MS OS that's not supported won't need to be trashed. and there are excellent solutions forward. I had been stuck for five years or more on this OS nonsense with MS and now have a path forward - plus I am soooo glad to not support MS and their agenda.
It's funny because I was about to buy a Windows laptop and somehow waited Now I'm ecstatic.
Giant thanks to you guys! I'll be ordering another laptop directly and totally love the SLNT bag.
Wow.
Brian"

Being able to create computer programs seems "boring" to many people until they experience its impact firsthand.
When they create a working application that directly improves their lives in some way that they can feel - because it automates tasks, enhances security, or helps them discover some kind of previously unrealized income/expense equation that improves their finances, or because their first client hires them and they realize that people in every sector of business need technical help and that they’re truly able to earn a living from it, the concept of programming all of a sudden is something they can feel — in many different ways — and it becomes meaningful.
Once programming makes a difference that can be felt firsthand in someone's life, it transforms from boring to magical, from dull to special, sparking a craving for more knowledge.
And when the art of programming becomes special, every concept that was previously “mind-numbingly boring” - studying data types, techniques to improve efficiency and flow of code, and much more, the mind starts to desire and crave more of this knowledge instead of finding it “boring” — it all becomes a part of the act of creating something useful in a way that can be felt, and that’s what makes it truly worthwhile.
Without feeling some kind of result that they were able to create as a result of having the knowledge to have created it, programming seems “boring”, and most will not pursue it.
And therefore, most never start — or they start, yet never persue it to the point of where they’re able to feel a meaningful result that further captures their attention and motivates them to keep going.
