That's a laserdisc, right?

[CPTBadAss]

That's a laserdisc, right?

No it's an 8-track. That's how we used to get dysentery in Oregon Trail.

Tfw I was never a bad enough dude to try and ford the river...

[CPTBadAss]

Wtf man. You were that dude on the ferry?! All ford everything.

[HoffmanMyster]

Srsly people, those floppies are legitimately cool.  Not just because nostalgia.  It's pretty impressive to see all the content CPT crammed into that 1.44MB.    (no sarcasm)

I hope all you early donors have a way to access it. 

[njbair]

If I still had floppy drives I'd be doing this with them:

[BlueNalgene]

Dime to a dollar it is a zip bomb.

[njbair]

42.zip

[CPTBadAss]

I could've done less work and pranked people hard? Ugh, that'll teach me not to Google. That 42.zip looks fun

[inanis]

When I was much younger I used to do alot of writing for various things. I had all my word files on a single floppy disk that I would take with me from system to system. All the word docs were password protected incase I misplaced it. When one filled up I archived it and copied the file I was actively working on to a new disk. I'm sure I still have a box full of these somewhere.

When USB drives came along it blew my mind.

[heedpantsnow]

Does anyone remember that old "Boot n Nuke" disk that would reformat your hard drive automatically if you booted from it?  Haha, those were the days. 

[UTEster750]

I never actually used a floppy, they were on the way out or were out by the time I started using computers  )

Who knew the days of floppies were so ruthless? I had no idea. Sounds like a good time.

[pr0ximity]

Jelly! I've got a floppy drive sitting right next to me here  Used to love playing with those spring-loaded slidey parts.

[CPTBadAss]

I really need to come up with a stapling rig. Buy another one to staple 2x as fast maybe. Still gotta print, fold, and staple like 60 more vol 4s.

[CPTBadAss]

This is what $100+ in stamps looks like. These Charlie Brown stamps are sweet.

I'm just going to assume they discontinued the Batman stamps, because otherwise I have to be disappointed in you.

[CPTBadAss]

They've got a limited stock at each PO you go to. They definitely didn't have em at the store I went to and they don't have em online anymore.

Edit: jk, they still have it online but I wanted that instant gratification . I should order a bunch when I run low for next time.

Hmmm... I'll let it slide this time.

[CPTBadAss]

I don't need batman OK Hoff? Look at Linus' adorably sad tree. It's adorable damnit.

Also 1st 20 CONUS Vol 4s going out.

[R1N3]

#blessed

[heedpantsnow]

Brb gotta go buy my Christmas stamps brah

[CPTBadAss]

So just to float this out there, I make the zines off of donations. I blew through like $140 in shipping and stamps in the last two days. Every two Volumes weighs an ounce. So if I mail 4 Volumes out, I need to use two stamps. On international shipments, that adds up fast.

I have enough of a buffer to mail out Vol 5 and possibly Vol 6. I'm exploring ideas and getting stuff together to be able to start selling some Tactile products. Hopefully ya'll will be interested and will help me by buying some goodies.

In the mean time, if you like what I'm doing and you'd like to see more zines, please consider donating. There's a donation link in the OP but I discovered that Paypal takes a small percentage of each donation there. It's minimal but I would get the full amount if you gift me the donation at CPTBadAss@geekhack.org. Whichever method you decide and is easier though, that will be fine.

I really appreciate it. In case you want to know where your money is going: I have a separate bank account and card for the funds (American Express Bluebird) that I don't use for anything else. I also keep track all the donations and how I spend it. I can provide the spreadsheet upon request.

Thanks for reading Tactile and I hope to continue this into 2016 and further.

TL:DR - Please consider donating. Especially if you've said you would be haven't yet already. This is a continual thing and a one time donation is wonderful (and genuinely appreciated) but I need funds to continue making this happen.

[heedpantsnow]

Ok I will donate in the morning. Love your zines...and I'm going to the middle of nowhere in January so I gotta keep my keyboard fix alive!

[byker]

Donated. Thanks for all of your work CBA!

[njbair]

I set myself a calendar reminder to donate in the morning when I'm at my computer.

[HoffmanMyster]

Just donated.  <3

[neverused]

Donated again. Awesome work CPTBadAss!

[CPTBadAss]

Oh and I'm working on getting a way to thank all my donators. Tiered and all. So if you donated once, you get something. And you donated a couple times, you get something else. And if you donated multiple times, you get something else else. I hope it'll be as cool in execution as it is in my head.

Thanks everyone

Drat!  The Dong strikes again.

[CPTBadAss]

I really need to ask the family for some Dongs. I just want to hold some in my hands.

The first of the floppy disks should be delivered today. I hope the recipients post pictures/videos/screenshots or whatever of their little gifts ).

Oh dude I have some Dongs from when it was only 13000 VND/$1.  Now it's like 23000 VND/$1.  I'll send you some with the Novatouch.


Edit: so do I donate through paypal to your GH address?

And yes, that would work.

So, since PayPal won't let me set up a recurring donation from my side, I just set up a recurring check payment via my online banking. I get paid every two weeks, and you'll get a donation check sent directly from my bank to your address on the same schedule. Hope this works for you.

I wanted to setup a recurring donation so I won't forget to donate.

So I've got this fun thing where my bank's app let's me scan checks and it gets loaded into my bank account pretty fast. That app is fun but I don't get many checks...bring on the checks haha.

Still cheaper than PayPal, probably.

I bet that $0.50/check goes to the app developer, who coded it into the software. MUAHAHAHAHA! Yeah right, greedy banks.
