NBS BIF #17 Hints and Hauls: Subaru Drivers Won't Keep Us From Our Magic Water Breakfast

Omg my AP Calculus teacher was a Mr. Nelson - he used to give me shit for coming into class stoned after lunch. Still got a A though.

My early computering days fall somewhere between you and Roguer - I used WordPerfect but I only knew of Lotus 1-2-3, never actually used it. I had the VIC20 then Commodore 64/128, but went from there to an Amiga and then a Mac because I was taking programming classes in junior high at UC Berkeley and they were using Macs at that time (late 80's). I am severely limited in my DOS skills but I was very familiar with GUI programming when most folks were still fumbling around with text based crap.

For beer related things, I'm absolutely not touching BA on my phone. I post here on my PC, and often use a notepad app to actually compose my longer posts because fuck losing a multi-paragraph post due to the archaic infrastructure here. Also have built and helped run/admin multiple forums across a range of subjects, so I feel more at home here than on something like Instagram/FB but god is it clunkier than it needs to be. Untappd is incredibly fast on my phone, photos are seamlessly integrated, and it does fun things like tell me who has Pliny the Younger on tap nearby so I don't have to go stand in line at the brewery or pay attention to social media to try it.

 

Gosh, I remember Lotus 1-2-3, though, it was in college, and I know I just barely scratched the surface on it. I, maybe, used 1% of what it was designed for, but it was all I needed in school.

Later on, I did design a spread sheet for when I was in the restaurant business to close out the daily sales. I didn't have any clue of the formulas, or know how to program them, but I knew how to copy and paste to create it in Excel/Open Office. It took a while for me to do it, and probably way too long, but I did - somehow.

 

How about this example: Modern Times has a beer called Modem Tones (the name actually originated from a typo here on BA). It's a pastry stout, and a specific base they use. They then age it in a variety of barrels (usually bourbon but not always) and sometimes add an assortment of adjuncts. According to Untappd, there's 75 variants of Modem Tones. I've had just 36 of them.

I am amazed that I'm apparently the only BA user amongst us using my phone. That literally astounds me.

As for Untappd, I'm not a fan at any level. I literally go there maybe a half dozen times a year.

Apparently I'm an outlier.

 

I’m the same old school as you,

only beers I am drinking are the ones I review, add

 

I have become a bigger UT user, but it's a lot due to work. Being in the industry - on the retail level - letting a customer know what I think about a beer is a lot easier on UT due to the size limitations on a review.

 

I can barely post a review, especially after about 2 beers... on the phone that is...

 

Once I've spent money on it, it will get reviewed, unless stale, sometimes i will still do it as a place holder

 

I can review a beer on here on my phone, I did so earlier today at Pantown Brewing, and added to the database. It's just fewer steps to do so on my computer.

If I am able to visit my friends in Montana this summer, and I found out something today that might prevent it, it will be on my phone, since my computer will be back home in central MN.

 

Take notes, do them later? The real old school

 

Lies!

I use BA on my phone about 90% of the time. Pictures are a bit of a pain in the ass, and I don't always get notifications/alerts, but it's not enough to convince me to go over to the laptop
