As I continue my cable management and desk organisation cruisade with the help of #3Dprinting, here is a model I did to attach my #UniFi network adapter on the monitor arm at the back of my screen.
The design was done in Swift using #Cadova. Source code is available at https://github.com/ebariaux/3d-prints

The model is also available on Makerworld: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2362606-unifi-5g-ethernet-adapter-support-for-monitor-arm

Last week I mentioned playing Forbidden Forest on a #Commodore SX-64.

Here is a bit of info about that game, coming from the « Commodore 64: a visual Commpendium » book, a kick-starter project I participated in a few years ago.

Flipping through those pages brings back some great memories.

First 3D print test of the egg.

Definitely not final but I could check the alignment of holes for attaching the boards and the camera hole.
And conclude that I need to pay more attention when I’m looking at a CAD drawing ☹️

A few more pics from my visit at the London Science Museum with machines from different periods.

Starting with a replica of the first mouse in the early 60s, a PDP-10 from 1970, then a white Sinclair Spectrum clone from the 80s and Tim Berners-Lee’s NeXTCube in 1990.

ServerSide.Swift was another conference taking place in a museum, the Science Museum in London.
I had to go back during the weekend to visit the Mathematics and Information Age halls.
The later hosts an interesting series of computers.

Here is the Control Data 6600, probably the first successful super computer.
Designed by Seymour Cray, it is considered one of the first RISC architecture.
I ❤️ the design of the screens, it reminds me of foldable opera glasses.

Last week, the #DoiOS conference took place in the Nemo Science Museum. During the breaks, attendees were free to explore the museum.

There was only one cabinet dedicated to tech and I saw this PET 8032SK there, a model I did not recognize.

Launched in 1980, 3 years after the original PET but 2 years before the #C64, it’s the first #Commodore with a separate keyboard (hence SK reference). It uses as 6502 processor, from the same family as the 6510 in the C64.

Just a week ago, I was on stage at #DoiOS 2025 presenting on the cryptography building blocks I believe all developers should know about.

Presenting was really fun but I also had a blast attending this 2-day gathering of a lovely community.

Thanks again to @appforce1 @axel @dimsumthinking and all the others who helped make this happen.

Enjoyed the amazing « Creative Coding » session by Tiago Gomes Pereira so much. Totally connecting with the geek and modern art fan in me.

Special thanks to @feli for the sketchnoting introduction. Still a long way to go but the journey is a lot of fun.

Last week I mentioned that the 6510 was the first assembly language I used, on a #Commodore 64.

The #C64 was my first proper computer. And I finally tracked down the invoice I still had.

Back in 1984, we paid about 18000 Belgian francs, that would be about 450€ (not indexed).

I think I first tried to use it with a small cassette recorder we had laying around. Two weeks later we were back in the store buying a 1541 floppy drive for nearly the same price.
