Eu nem sabia que a prefeitura do #RIO tinha esses espaços chamados NAVEs do conhecimento...

E, na NAVE do Engenho Novo (fica em frente a estação de trem de mesmo nome e ao lado do Estádio de Futebol Nilton Santos), vai rolar no sábado, 14 de março de 2026 o MsxRio2026. Evento gratuito! Colocar aqui na agenda e se pá, dou uma passada lá só pela curiosidade!

I’m trying to get closer to my XDE environment from the early ‘80’s. When you minimized a window it became a “Tiny Window” and you could assign a Tiny Window Picture (an icon).

I came across this icon for the “Executive” (basically the shell). I'm almost positive I created this work of art. If you can't tell, it's an executive leaning back in a chair, smoking a cigar with a bottle of wine and glass on his desk.

This was my mental model of an executive in my early 20’s.

@jaco Yes, some #USENET groups are active with on-topic conversations (and the occasional veering off-topic :-)), say, alt.folklore.computers with #retrocumputing and #computinghistory.

I'd say the news clients I've been using have better interfaces than this mastodon web ui... but I really should be trying other mastodon clients...

Too hot for #retrocumputing , so I have to move to #retrodrinking

Rediscovered my first web page I put online 27 years ago. And guess what, it still renders correctly in a current browser. Not much in the IT industry survives that long 🙂
