My Most Anticipated Game Of The Summer Still Doesn’t Have A Release Date
This Friday at noon PDT, I will be speaking about UNIX V4 for @lindsey's Languages, Systems, and Data Seminar! I'm excited to demonstrate programming with a teletype, as that hasn't fit into my other talks.
If you're interested, email (see my site) or DM me for a Zoom invite.
Abstract: We recently recovered UNIX V4 from a 1974 magnetic tape at the University of Utah. This version of the UNIX operating system, thought to have been lost, was the 19th copy distributed to the public, just months after the first public announcement. It was originally acquired by Martin Newell while managing the computer graphics laboratory, and it was likely connected to his foundational research in procedural modeling and the famous Utah teapot. UNIX V4 was the culmination of the effort to rewrite the kernel in C, made possible by the introduction of structs to the language, and has shaped all modern operating systems. In this talk, I put this artifact into context within the larger history of UNIX and demonstrate period-appropriate software development with a paper-printing teletype and replica PDP-11.
Just trying something.
Our Girl Scout cookie season is over, and we still have 85 boxes: 510 dollars worth of cookies.
If people PayPal me, I will give these cookies out to nurses, Waffle House employees, and any other good requests y'all have.

It's not so often we can experience a truly "new" retrocomputing platform, especially those of us over the age of none-of-your-business. I had my first in-depth examination of the UK's Acorn history, RISC OS, and a truly unusual productivity suite.
The ARM hardware and the OS have had a goodly number of words written about them, but PipeDream, not so much. It's one thing to talk about the platform and quite another to do real work on it. As always, I dug in and got productive, creating documents and learning its ins and outs. I also picked up (and overused) some British slang along the way.
For thirty years I programmed with Phish on, every day
