Ben WinslowBREAKING NEWS: The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation announces it will release anywhere from 660,000-1 million acre feet of water from Flaming Gorge to prop up Lake Powell. That has a cascading effect and this is NOT good: https://www.fox13now.com/news/colorado-river-collaborative/feds-order-massive-water-release-from-flaming-gorge-to-prop-up-lake-powell #utpol #Utah

Lee from ColoradoThe cabin where we're staying has Edward Abbey's old La Sal cabin next door. I think he's a little chilly in his unheated cabin this morning ...
(we went in -- the Abbey cabin serves as an extra bedroom for this place. It's quite small.)

The genius of fascism is that any political structure can host the virus and virtually any developed country can become a suitable home. Fascism talks ideology but it is really just marketing for power.

Thalia ArchibaldA quick, preliminary analysis of the disk image before sharing showed it was a unique snapshot, earlier than V5. We could see Hunt the Wumpus, SNOBOL, and an older version of cc. Then within hours of my tape image upload to the Internet Archive, Angelo Papenhoff (@aap) produced a working SIMH emulation setup and published instructions. Within days, Jacob Ritorto had booted it on a real PDP-11/45 and Ashlin Inwood on a PDP-11/40, the two officially supported machines. And I visited the Interim Computer Museum (@icm) to attempt booting on their "misspiggy" PDP-11/70, but more repairs were needed.
As a historical artifact, the UNIX V4 tape fills in a midpoint of a 19-month gap in UNIX source code. It was shortly after the kernel was rewritten from assembly into C and was rapidly growing into a system we recognize today. And at the University of Utah, it adds a connection in a history of pioneering computer science research, and I'm happy to have been involved.

As the only surviving copy of this version of UNIX, it was vital that it be preserved. Jon Duerig and I brought it to the Computer History Museum's Research Archives, where vintage media recovery has been honed over decades. There, Al Kossow (@bitsavers) recovered the raw analog waveform using his modified tape drive, explaining the process to news and museum film crews as he worked. By recording the low-level waveform, it can be analyzed offline without stressing the tape by reading it again. This was done with Len Shustek's readtape program and, after some debugging with Len, we recovered a complete, flawless dump. Fortunately, the tape was in impeccable condition and did not need to be baked.
