After years of dithering there is some clarity or what Windows development platforms to use: WinUI/WinAppSdk or good old (but refreshed) WPF. Windows devs rejoice!

Working at a company where they give presentations in a C64 tshirt is pretty cool.

I laser cut and painted some acrylic for the front panel of this IMSAI 8080 recreation and it makes all the difference. Still some issues with the electronics but also added a fan mostly to stop me reaching my fingers in while turning it on and electrocuting myself.

I worked at Microsoft Dublin for a while ten years ago, and while there suggested we create a video portal linking MS campuses across the world.

The news that the public art installation video portal linking Dublin with New York has had to be closed -again- due to lewd behaviour from the Irish side proves I was definitely onto something.

@GrantMeStrength TBF it was the NYC side that did the flashing.

Happy “Kill the Bit” day to those who celebrate! Back in 1975 this was one of the first “type ins” for home computers, specifically the Altair 8800. Toggle in the code and you can play a little reaction timer game on the LEDs.

When it’s the people who say “customer journey flywheels” who get promoted, you know you’re in the wrong org.

Looking fancy. Now need an acrylic front panel to finish it. That’ll happen.

@psychicparrot42 I was thinking about this when reading about Melinda Gates. You think she should be in prison?

I always remember the nice thing said by the barista in local coffee shop:

“Oh we call you ‘the customer called John that isn’t an asshole’ “

Enough progress that I earned an ice cream. It’s clocking through memory, stopping and starting.

@GrantMeStrength Brings back memories of a IMSAI 8080 in my Dad's physics lab. I used to toggle in small programs that drove an oscilloscope it what was a proto-game.

Sure “almost mine”. Almost. I think my bid topped out at $300.

Sold for $5600. My raspberry pi based PiDP-8 cost a lot less and runs with a lot less fan noise, so I should be grateful.

In 2024 I would like the ability to paste a piece of text that happens to be bold or in another type size into my doc AND NOT HAVE EVERYTHING I TYPE AFTER IT ALSO BOLD OR IN A DIFFERENT SIZE. Thank you.
