Could this be the first battery-powered, fully-wireless ImageWriter II in history? Well, it might at least be the first one on #GlobalTalk!

Just in time for the end of #MARCHintosh, a cheap Farallon AirDock showed up on Yahoo Auctions, and since I already had one, I had to try this stunt - adding an IRTalk node to GlobalTalk.

It is currently live on GlobalTalk if you want to try it, I'll probably leave it up until either the battery runs out or I deem it too much of a tripping hazard.

[Boost please!]

This is an “Apple Internet Router Administrator’s Guide—Addendum (Second Edition) – RFI”

It’s finally time to turn my attention to updating the Addendum to the AIR manual I released last year (along with the scanned and OCRed original manual).

This is a GlobalTalk-specific “request for input” on modifications and additions people might like to see, pretty well in line with the sections already present. Please DM me here with suggestions.

I’ll then work on what I can include and release near the end of the month.

Alongside this work, I’ll be releasing some updates to my emulation-based setup files (disk images can be used on real hardware).

These will remain 7.1-focussed (there are 7.6 images elsewhere).

Currently all these files are on Google Drive, but in parallel to the release of the next edition of the Addendum and setup files, they will all move to my (Unofficial) GlobalTalk Wiki at https://globaltalk.wiki (feel free to sign up for a sub-wiki there if you run a GlobalTalk node/network/zone – it works via http in Classical, too).

There’s been lots of exciting changes and announcements since last year (including my Wiki!), so I’m really looking forward to documenting the continued development of GlobalTalk, which doesn’t stop on 31 March each year.

Hope you’re all having fun on the network!

And it’s time for my fourth and final #MARCHintosh project for 2026, TalkCrawler AD. It’s an After Dark Module for TalkCrawler that will let you watch #GlobalTalk leisurely scroll past in one of two different styles

There is a standalone version as well if you don't want to install After Dark

Note you will need to run a re-scan in TalkCrawler Lite 1.4 (just released) before it can show anything

Available on landisk/Blackbird on BaroNet. Video in first reply.

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

The announcement out of AwesomeCon has come.

Nathan Fillion and Crew Reunite for ‘Firefly’ Animated Series

https://www.thetvcave.com/post/firefly-animated-series-what-we-know

"Grab your brown coats and a very expensive bottle of Mudder’s Milk, because the impossible just happened. After two decades of "maybe next year" and enough fan petitions to paper the entire Verse, Nathan Fillion has finally stopped teasing us on Instagram and dropped the big one: a Firefly animated series is officially in advanced development."

The series takes place between the original TV series and Serenity, the film.
