Going live in about 40 minutes to give people a look at my homebrew CPU, System/1, and even (deities of the live demo permitting) show it running something boringly trivial.

I think this'll be the first time I've shown it in public when it's running interactively, so if that sounds interesting - or you just like watching live demos go up in flames - it'll be at https://twitch.tv/baljemmett from 1800 BST.

Going to be streaming some more System/1 stuff this evening, picking up where our demonstration was interrupted last time and then building an adapter to hook up its keyboard for testing.

That'll be at https://twitch.tv/baljemmett from 1800 BST, and if the live demo doesn't work this time there'll simply be nothing for it but to cry.

Returning to System/1 for this evening's stream; in about an hour I'll be sitting down to see if I can write a keyboard driver for it in Forth. The basics should be pretty straightforward but I'm not sure about integrating it into the interpreter...

Join me from 1800 BST at https://twitch.tv/baljemmett/ if you enjoy watching people flail around in languages they rarely use whilst also hoping their dodgy homemade computer stays working long enough to finish the job!
