Episode 0092: The VAX

from Quoggling Sand · host Dan Hugo et al.

Show Notes Host: Dan Hugo Summary: The old Digital Equipment Corporation, also known as DEC, had back in the day a PDP-11 successor for minicomputers known as VAX. On entering college back in those days, I was introduced to our computing services department computer systems on which we would be completing our first year computer science homework. It was named HMCVAX, and it could crash at some inopportune times.

Sounds of SAND Science and Nonduality Sounds of SAND invites listeners into a contemplative journey through the infinite cycles of existence - from its raw beauty to its deepest mysteries, from its intricate complexity to its profound wonder. Through intimate conversations, thought-provoking interviews, poetic readings, and carefully curated music, we weave together ancient wisdom with lived experience, creating a tapestry of sound that honors the great questions of being Consuelo by George Sand Loyal Books This roman à clef follows the musical adventures of Consuelo, a gifted singer under the tutelage of the composer Nicola Porpora. After encountering betrayal in her home city of Venice, she goes to stay with a family of nobles in an isolated castle in Bohemia and teach singing to the baroness who lives there. It is there that she meets Count Albert, a troubled young man who experiences regressions to past lives. He is strangely drawn to her, but she, though moved with pity for him, is unsure what to think of him. She then sets out for Vienna to meet with Porpora again and on the way befriends a young Joseph Haydn. The two do their best to skirt intrigue and peril during their journey while Consuelo engages in soul-searching to determine who Count Albert is to her.
