My self-assembled #MBC2 #Z80 computer has been completely dead for a while, but today I managed to revive it! The 16 MHz crystal was replaced, and now it's running #CPM3 perfectly! Getting files on it is a little bothersome, but when I have a bit of time I'll see if I can get #PolyPascal and perhaps the te editor (https://github.com/MiguelVis/te) on it.

Firing up #PolyPascal on my 40 year old #Enterprise64 for the first time in probably 35 years. Actually, I'm not sure if I ever go PolyPascal running on it, or it was just the previous version, Compas Pascal. Glad to see an old #Dnaisg friend from the #CPM era again though. It's been too long.

saustrup, 1 month ago to 3DPrinting

I left my #Prusa 3D printer unattended for a couple of hours, and it completely screwed up and the extruder got completely encapsulated in a 1cm thick glob of PLA filament. This is what it looked like after half an hour of delicate unglobbing. Another half hour of cleaning and reassembling and it was working fine again. Not sure what went wrong - PETG builds are nearly always perfect, but I'm building something that should be a little more flexible, hence the PLA.

So, now that #Zilog is throwing in the towel on the #DIP40 version of the #Z80 CPU, what are we going to do when our #microcomputer processor fries itself? Is there a compatible plug-in alternative, or perhaps something as simple as an adapter for another form factor?

Asking for a friend who has accumulated way too many Z80 based machines. Ahemn.. ;-)

Some 40 years ago, my dad took a leap and decided to import and resell the #Enterprise64 microcomputer from the United Kingdom. This was indeed the era of the "micro", and lots of options were available like the #Spectrum, #Amstrad, #NewBrain, #Lynx and numerous others. Unfortunately competition was hard, and the Enterprise was delayed for almost a year. Eventually they went bankrupt and all stock was exported to Eastern Europe where it got a second life among some very hard core enthusiasts. Very few were actually sold in Denmark - I would assume less then a hundred - and today I managed to get my hands on the third one in my collection. Inherited from his dad, the seller had no idea what to use this for. It's very much a special item, and very far from the mainstream like the Commodore 64. It is nevertheless a fascinating machine, sporting a #Zilog #Z80 with support for up to 2MB RAM. The operating system also contained IS-BASIC, and was a bliss to work with.

It's been an intense weekend, but fifteen cars were successfully delivered to #Ukraine. Most to the army. Four to the L'viv waterworks. A couple directly to special forces. Hanging out in #Kyiv for a couple of days before heading home. Fuck you, Putin! :trizub:

The 15 car convoy arrived to the PL/UA border this morning. Queue is slowly moving. Expect to be through in 2-3 hours. Vehicles for the Army and the L'viv Water company. :trizub:

Why? Because fuck you Putin.
Good will triumph over evil.

This morning we're seeing a bunch of "Spam Report" toots from an account on miniwa.moe. They're tagging a bunch of unrelated admins, including me, and providing links to further information that return 404s. Not sure exactly what the purpose of these toots were, but it was poorly executed, and the account has been suspended on our end until we hear from the miniwa.moe admins.

I'm teaching my kids the values of the traditional point-and-click adventures, and we're currently about to finish #MonkeyIsland 2. Other classics like #ZakMcKracken and #ManiacMansion are on the to-to list, but I'm also looking for something new - and that's when I - somewhat late, admittedly, given that it was release some six years ago - discovered that the legendary @grumpygamer made
#ThimbleweedPark which looks absolutely bloody amazing. And it's on sale on both Steam and GOG! This is going to be awesome! :-)

saustrup, 4 months ago to Rabbits

Meet #Mogens the #rabbit. Usually he's a happy outdoor rabbit living in his cozy rabbit house with #Elvis, also of rabbit persuasion. Thursday we found him cold and weak in the house. We took him in, cleaned him up a bit and housed him in the coldest room in the house, on account of his winter fur. His breathing was bad, and it sounded like he had the flu. Friday was marginally better, so we took him to the vet. The prognosis wasn't good, but he got a couple of injections and we were told to continue meds twice a day and watch him closely. Today we have established excellent emergency facilities for him, and he does appear to be doing significantly better. Breathing is much better and now also through the nose and he is slowly regaining the weight he has apparently lost over the last week or so. We're cautiously optimistic. 🙂

I'm a #linux geek and a security enthusiast. Also, I'm a cheapskate. Last time our family was out and about, the hotel offered paid wifi, priced per device and I wasn't having it. Cue the TP-Link RE650 - a "range extender" capable of running the #OpenWRT router firmware. Performance and stability was crap when doing wifi-to-wifi bridging and the device didn't have enough juice to run #WireGuard #VPN, which is the way I connect safely to my home rack. A couple of weeks ago, I discovered the #Slate AX (#AXT1800) travel router from GL-iNet. Same concept, but half the size, a lot more juice, USB-C powered, SD slot and USB connector and so far rock solid and powerful enough to run WireGuard with cycles to spare. I'm a very happy customer! 🙂

Om tre uger kører jeg igen fra Aarhus til #Kyiv i #Ukraine – og igen bag rattet af en doneret firhjulstrækker for organisationen @bilertilukraine. Som tidligere skal bilerne køres hele vejen igennem Tyskland og Polen for at nå den polsk/ukrainske grænse, hvor vi får et solidt knald på den bureaukratiske brille i form af pas, told-, eksport- og importpapirarbejde. Herefter går turen videre til L’viv hvor vi overnatter, og til sidst kører vi til turens endelige mål – Ukraines hovedstad Kyiv.

Biler og eventuelle andre donationer overgives til organisationen Ініціатива Е+ som vi har fuldstændig tillid til. De har fingeren på pulsen, og ved præcist hvor donationerne skal sendes hen, for at gøre størst forskel. En sjælden gang imellem får vi en hilsen retur fra modtagerne – her f.eks. en firhjulstrukken transporter som Bo kørte til Ukraine i august: https://www.facebook.com/helpEplus/videos/1244257882925259/

I kan holde os kørende på #MobilePay 669994. Alt gør en forskel. På forhånd tak.

Behold! Tomorrow (Thursday) is the annual #BrunsvigerensDag (Day of the #brunsviger). It's the day where #denmark celebrates a cake that's one part yeast dough and two parts butter and brown sugar. More or less. You get the idea. Tomorrow I shall endulge to my heart's - and stomach's - content.

I will keep you posted. Until then, how about making your own? 🙂❤️

It's retro weekend in our household. Well, in my office at least. My son and I have been playing through the first third of #MonkeyIsland and now I've briefly introduced him to #ZakMcKracken, which was my first graphical adventure. Or maybe it was the first of the Larry games. Anyway, Zak was the one that made the biggest impression and I've loved it ever since.

In a secret location somewhere in #Kyiv. Vehicles and. Donations have been handed over. Everything went as planned. More Ukranian soldiers will be evacuated and saved thanks to your donations.

1600 km completed and about 500 to go. I'm driving a donated Ford Ranger pickup to #Kyiv to donate it to the Ukranian Army along with an extra X-Trail engine block. #SlavaUkraini! Fuck you Putin!

Om 3 uger kører jeg og 7 andre frivillige chauffører for https://www.bilertilukraine.dk/ den lange vej fra #Aarhus til #Kyiv med biler og forsyninger - altsammen doneret af private og virksomheder, som vil være med til at gøre en forskel. Det er alt fra droner og hospitalsgrej til generatorer og mobiltelefoner, og modtagerne er dybt, dybt taknemmelige.

Bidrag går direkte til indkøb af biler, reparationer og diesel. Alle arbejder frivilligt. Der står chauffører i kø, så flere bidrag betyder flere biler afsted, og mere nødhjælp til dem der har mest brug for det.

MobilePay 669994, evt. med teksten "Saustrup". Alt gør en forskel! :-)
