  • Life Before 9/11

    Many people know how much life within the United States has changed since the events of September 11th, 2001, one of the worst terrorist attacks in American History.

    But what many people find themselves still oblivious to is how much the impact of 9/11's legacy has left on the everyday life of the American.

    John P. O'Neil, a counter-terrorism agent, knew about the impending attack and warned the FBI about it. But when he told them, they decided to refuse to listen to him. As a result, thousands of civilians paid with their lives. O'Neil himself was one of the victims caught in the Twin Towers.

    For quite a while I had preferred the tinkerboard over the raspberry pi. Briefly, I had used a pine board of some sort. I forget which one. It had a built in charging circuit and a real time clock. The pi had neither, so that was still an upgrade over the pi at the time. When the zero came along, I had a really tiny SPI screen hooked to that, but it was too small to be very usable. I ended up not really using it very much. But the battery life was amazing.

      I have gotten so much mileage out of these three zsh functions for making directories for over a decade, I should’ve posted them a long time ago but I just didn’t think to.
