Super excited to announce my pen plotter art work will be on display in the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Delaware during the month of May 2026! Titled "Programmable Ink: Pen Plotter Art," the show will feature works from a variety of series I've created over the past 10 years through today.

There will be an opening reception on May 1 from 5-7pm (part of Art Loop)

Mr. Clean is not my scrubber
He's just for grills
Says that I have soap scum
But I wiped it with my thumb

People always ask me where I got my incredibly detailed tattoo done, but never believe me when I tell them Spain.

Nobody expects the Spanish ink precision.

#netatalk 4.5.0 beta is now available for adventurous users

https://netatalk.io/4.5/ReleaseNotes4.5.0beta

we have introduced advanced ARC cache and a wide range of deep optimizations that speed up file operations, especially noticeably when you enumerate a large number of files, i.e. when browsing a remote volume

see the new manual chapter on caching for instructions to to configure optimal cache for your deployment

this is also the version where the friendly new color volume icons for Classic Mac OS announced a few weeks ago are fully functional

we've made a lot of changes under the hood, therefore this beta release to give you all a chance to poke around with it before we roll out a production ready version 🤞🏼

Attached: 1 image Announcing my third #MARCHintosh 2026 project - the MARCHintosh Canvas! If you're familiar with Reddit's /r/place, pxls space, or Wplace, you’ll know what this is - a shared canvas anyone can place pixels onto in real-time. Only this time, it's over the venerable AppleTalk protocol, with the public server accessible to anyone on #GlobalTalk :) Feel free to drop by and leave your mark - available in the usual places (landisk, Blackbird) on BaroNet #VintageApple #RetroComputing #mb

This got posted in a thread – I had meant to post my Canvas additions by now, but got shamed into it by seeing others’ efforts.

And again,I would like to say thank you to @kalleboo, who not only created “MARCHintosh Canvas” for GlobalTalk participants to create such a masterpiece, but also a native “GlobalTalk Chat” app, a native “TalkCrawler Lite” app, *and* a TalkCrawler After Dark module which used the data collected by TCL in wildly creative ways.

Hats off, Karl - you’ve made MARCHintosh special again!
