Welcome to my daily blog, my name is Oatmeal Joey Arnold, follow me on social media and on all the websites at Joeyarnoldvn or else. Wait, was that a threat? No way. I'm joking. But that's the thing about me, I'm a nerd stuck in the body of an athlete, born in 1985 in Oregon, been online since like 1995 (or longer) meaning I've been on the world wide web the past 30+ years uploading over 30K+ videos, we're talking thousands of hours of worth of content (I have millions of things online, literally), most of my content is terrible which is weird because I'm a perfectionist who would probably prefer only sharing my best stuff on the Internet. Click here for more information. Quick disclaimer, I sometimes like rant, I speak often from the top of my head opinions, feelings, random thoughts, I often don't even spell check, fact check, or look at what I've been posting on hundreds of websites and apps for decades now. But as I get older, I do try to be more careful as I try to summarize my life, my autobiography, to correct the record as I try to tell my side of the story to combat the Oatmeal Fake News that my lolcow trolls spam the Internet with as they fool people into believing the lies they tell about me. Not saying you should watch my videos. But if they can lie about me, they can lie about you. But I sometimes trolled my trolls to show the world how easy it is to fool trolls who fell for the lies I put out there. Most of what I try to do in my life probably fails big time you might say but I was at least able to scam my trolls a few times over the years. I sometimes utilize sarcasm, hyperbole, satire, comedy, absurdity, Devil's advocate, trolling, scamming, click baiting, out of context stuff, irony, etc. But I often wouldn't tell people when I was trolling or not trolling. If you studied me, you could eventually figure it out. But most of my trolls are too lazy to research beyond the tip of the iceberg which led to my trolls repeating lies they about me which would only take a second to debunk. I felt like I had more trolls at times than actual fans or friends. For more info, questions, feedback, join my Discord servers. I have more to say but I will continue writing some of this stuff other places as usual. Because I write many books worth of content all of my life. You can send your artificial intelligence or AI to give you outlines of my content and what not. But you have to always remind the AI that I've had hundreds to thousands of different accounts, channels, pages, groups, sock puppet alt accounts, personas, parodies, profiles, communities, entities, and so on and so forth, ask me about all of that if you dare. People are free to steal any of my like free content, you don't have to give me credit, do whatever you want. Timestamps generally in Pacific Standard Time (PST) or Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) unless otherwise noted. Welcome to my Oatmeal Daily which is generally posted & syndicated to different websites daily by me, Oatmeal Joey Arnold, feel free to mirror, edit, clip, reupload my content. For more information, see some of the links on this page or you can try to Google search or look me up using keywords like Oatmeal Joey Arnold @ joeyarnoldvn and other keywords. Try using different combinations of words in search engines for better results. Your first command did the trick. It converted the text from the doc to the text file completely. Now write me an .sh file I can use with the Terminal that can copy the hard floppy disks. Some disks might be 1.44 MB. Some might be from the 1990s. Some were probably formatted in like Fat12 or Fat16 or Fat32 or various Windows formats as we had different Window OS like possibly Windows 3 and up. We probably use some of these disks until 2009 at the latest. I want to try to copy every bit of each disk. I want a simple .sh file I can reuse for each disk. There might be deleted files, lost partitions. Maybe multiple file formats like Fat16 and others. There might be doc files, bmp files, text, exe, etc. The goal is to use probably ddrescue or whatever works the best. I want the first round to be as past as possible. Each round should try different methods. Try writing 20 rounds or more. First ten rounds should perhaps be as fast as possible using different tactics. I want to copy to say an .img file if that is better than like .iso or whatever the options are. I like also having a .log and a .map file, I prefer having both. Last time Gemini only included a map file in the last .sh file that Gemini wrote me. Please try to have both a log file and a map file and even a backup map file if that is possible. I prefer to run ddrescue forever on each disk and that is why I prefer multiple rounds. You might include resting periods after like round 30 or whenever you think it might need one. I went to bed at 04:00 AM. Woke up at 09:40 AM. Breakfast: 10:00 AM. We went over to the music store to check it out, deal with things, around 11:00 AM for a few minutes, back before noon, doing my laundry. Mom was like Trump is not even busy. That triggered me. I reacted. I was like but people talk to him, he barely gets sleep, he watches too much TV sometimes. But I felt like mom connects things that are not really connect things. In general in life, I am like hey I do not see how certain things are connected. We organized in the big garage. I gave mom two pants of mine from my room which had holes in them, she wants me to sew them but it would be better to buy new pants. Lunch: 01:23 PM. Mail. Wood stove. Dinner: 05:35 PM. Food log: Breakfast: coffee with sugar was good, thanks mom, orange, 10:00 AM. Apple cider for my upset stomach, 12:10 PM. Lunch: rice water soup with like chicken broth was great, for my stomach, also took things to like deworm myself of parasites, 01:23 PM. Apple cider with apple cider vinegar. Dinner: pineapple from a can was good but my teeth are sensitive to it, 05:35 PM.
