Very cool!

Well, that's fun. GUIs are for the weak.

Now we’re talkin

What are you going to build today? (I'm actually asking)

In a world ruled by AI, real face-to-face moments will stand out. Online content—emails, posts, ads—will be so perfectly polished by machines that people will just tune it out. But when someone looks you in the eye, that’s when you’ll feel what’s real and true.

It’s pretty exciting.

Osborne 1 restoration day 5 (non consecutive): Have it flipped upside down so I could pin out the motherboard while connected to the power supply. It now passes the RAM test and boots to CP/M. Woot!

Morning before the work week starts shenanigans: Have you ever had a dumb idea for a project, and you want to get it out of your head, only for it to come out in a rush and work the first time? Weird but... simple RSA (12ish Bit) on a Commodore 64 in BASIC:

eBay on this one. Was cheap... ish.

Yeah, that's a 6502 "life sized" ;-)

I put these albums up in my office and then realized that you can see the reflection of my dual monitors behind me in video calls. So, I either need to anti-reflect them or move them. Anyway, happy Friday. Get out there and make cool stuff!

Or an LCG

It’s just their basic equivalent function to rnd(1). I suspect it’s an LFSR like most of that era.

Does anyone have a VX-4 or FX-870 that would be willing to take a video of this one liner running for me? I can run it on the emulator but it’s better for my project on the real thing.

PicoCalc arrived today. It boots directly into BASIC, so naturally, the first thing I did was a 10PRINT.

In case the speed and accuracy bothers you, here's 2^32 points in Go...

Happy Pi Day from one of my VIC-20s!

You don't have to pay attention to "what's going on" for as long as you want. With few exceptions, quitting the news will not affect anything. AT ALL.

Other than the fact that you'll not be filling your brain with "the news." Whatever that even is.

Finished this in just a couple hours, it’s a lot of fun. On to books two and three.

The Penultimate 3+ "Turbo" arrived yesterday. I've now purchased EVERY iteration of this cart.

With a cheap Starlink mini and a standard drill battery, and I can literally work from anywhere. I bought this during Helene (I live in the Asheville area) and it has become a standard part of my equipment setup. Almost flawless.

Yep. No one stepped up to translate though.

MOS Technology documents from 1976 scanned and published: First Edition KIM-1 User Manual, Product descriptions, Floating point sources and more: retro.hansotten.nl/mos-technolo...

I need a native Japanese speaker to translate "Next time, don't marry a stripper" into Japanese.

I'm sure I'm in the minority, but BS is full of hate, just like the others.

Gimme a retro computer network, or a network for my sports team, etc

Another one-size-fits-all social network clone isn't going to work. They all eventually start looking like each other because people are people.

When you must dive deep into a subject, a book is still the best format.

I have... a lot of books on Kindle from the last however many years. But the total number at the moment is something else, isn't it?

This is gonna take a while...

This is new in the wrapper, but we must open it, right? It does have 1984 air inside it, though. Plus, an Atari floppy.
