Just found out Yellow Pages and White Pages still exist! You can order them. Tempted to, just to see what's in them these days

Using the #1MinuteCriteria for websites to provide simple, non-sensitive information.
It took less than one minute to reach for the #WhitePages or #YellowPages and find the street address of a business or bank branch.
Why am I going to waste any more that 1 minute of my time fooling about with some cryptic and puerile website trying to get basic info?
I #JustPhoneThem after that.

Before moving to greener (and higher-paying 🤑) pastures, one of my two big "technical assistant" projects for #Comcast #Cellular was upgrading the engineers' Sun #Unix workstations from the #BSD-based #SunOS 4 to #SVR4-based SunOS 5 (#Solaris 2), and from #NIS / #YellowPages to NIS+.
In hindsight, it was a bad idea to make both changes at once, but I was a kid entranced by novelty and not yet very considerate of my users during the inevitable downtimes. (3/6)

We received a Yellow Pages directory (!) in our physical mailbox yesterday. Today I learned that there’s a way to prevent future deliveries using a maliciously compliant method and message:

That’s Employee of the Month material right there!

One website featured in The Blue Pages in the Historical section is this site detailing making blow torches out of toasters and strawberry pop-tarts.

Did you know you can still get printed Yellow pages from Bell Canada? I just got mine. I figure it’ll be easier finding services that are actually local instead of sifting through ones that are in #Danforth Illinois or in #Riverdale from Archy cartoons that pop up in web searches.

The #YellowPages dropped sadly onto the front door mat a little while ago. How times have changed; it used to be a huge thick, heavy tome packed full of addresses, telephone numbers (obviously) and adverts from local businesses. It was your go-to item for an electrician or a taxi. Now, in the #interweb age, it has been reduced to pathetic A5-sized pamphlet barely 1 cm thick. Good in many ways and a little bit melancholic in others.
