Usagi’s New Computer Is A Gas!

[Dave] over at Usagi Electric has a mystery on his hands in the form of a computer. He picked up a Motorola 68000 based machine at a local swap meet.  A few boards, a backplane, and a power supply.…

Eu acho essa série de videos do canal Usagi Electric sobre a restauração do Bendix G15, uma verdadeira aula sobre história da computação. Recomendo para os fãs de computadores antigos e estudantes de computação.

Anyone know what folks like #UsagiElectric & #curiousMarc use to highlight and annotate PDFs on their videos?

Me chamem de nerd (por favor), mas a engenharia e a ciência escondidas por trás de algo tão simples como um leitor de código de barras é fascinante! (ok, pra mim, pelo menos)

Now I've got some audio out of #musicn Inspired by #usagielectric, I'm going to start having a weekly rotation of three personal projects. This is to make sure they stay fun and don't become a source of burnout. The rota is going to be:

1. A #retrocomputing project, currently #musicn.

2. A modern #foss project, currently #Fediverse focused, and specifically developing #fcli into a testbed for ideas on a client more focused on building relationships and communities.

3. A non-computing projects, which currently means #sewing.

I have a long list of ideas in all of these categories, so at some point I'll write that up and put it on my website.

New #UsagiElectric video just dropped. I now have to resist the urge to watch it before I finish the housework.

I only stopped for lunch. Why did I look?!

Writing a custom music replay routine for #BendixG15 to play "At Doom's Gate": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=no0CkQk7id0 (relevant bit starts around 6:40 or so)

This stuff immediately reminded me of The Story of Mel from The Jargon File: http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/story-of-mel.html (if you know this file you're officially an old fart)

People of the #Demoscene: You're always looking for challenging and interesting platforms. Here we have one... I'm expecting some "wild" wild compo entries. I think we have to resort to using the emulator here though.
