Sie sagen, dass die Liebe bitter schmecke … Allein was tut’s? Was tut’s?
Ich habe deinen Mund geküsst, Jochanaan. Ich habe ihn geküsst, deinen Mund.— Salome

@janmontag No worries! We received help from @icm and @davefischer and the machine was moved to ZKM for an exhibition and a conference where we will hear firsthand about the CM from Thinking Machines engineers and designer Tamiko Thiel. Also online on March 27/28: https://zkm.de/en/2026/03/envisioning-ai-legacy-and-impact-of-the-connection-machine

I occasionally do a little food photography for this Guatemalan pupusa/bakery place a few blocks from my home, generally in exchange for food. Ha! So good.

Seventeen years ago! I bought this multi-million dollar hoard of Sun servers from a scrap yard for $300. After testing, fixing, and swapping parts to max out some of them, I traded a couple for an SGI Onyx for the museum, a few more for parts of what eventually became my personal 16-proc Origin-2000, and kept two as compute servers for my film making.
(A maxxed-out E4000 has 14 x 400 Mhz UltraSparc II's, and 14 gig of ram (In 128meg sticks! Ha ha ha. Warm.)).

This scene is why I named my cat Salome. (I love the original play, I've read it in a few languages, but Imogen Millais-Scott's performance in this scene is UNREAL.)

Was not expecting Bertei's account of playing keys in The Contortions to reference my favorite flick...

Zig-zag timing delays. Cray-1, 1976.

This just showed up in the mail! Completely forgot I had pre-ordered it. Should fill in a lot of gaps in my knowledge of this scene...

This is all that remains of the entrance to an underground public bathroom from the 1910s. It's my favorite building in Providence. MORE FOLLYS!

Almost up... sun-3/280 booting but not mounting /home or allowing login yet... (Realized my server rack is of the exactly appropriate age. Ha ha.)

Am I correct in thinking that the Canon LiDE400 is the best reasonably cheap flatbed scanner that works easily with sane?
(And by "works" I mean actually works, not "it scans at 300dpi, so we're adding it to the 'supported' list".)

Finally got around to reading Mr Puntila and His Man Matti, as it's the source of my favorite Brecht song:

/etc/rc used to be a small shell script that you added commands to if you wanted them run at startup. It remained simple through 7th Ed. After that it exploded into the SysV style mess that was eventually replaced with the unnamed horror.
The recently recovered UNIX V4 /etc/rc:
rm -f /etc/mtab
chdir /tmp
rm -f [a-t]* [x-z]* v*
chdir /
/etc/update("cd" was "chdir", which is still the name of the system call in linux. /etc/update forks and runs in the background, doing a "sync" on all mounted drives every 30 seconds.)
An example 7th Edition /etc/rc:
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
echo "Restricted rights: Use, duplication, or disclosure
is subject to restrictions stated in your contract with
Western Electric Company, Inc." >/dev/console
rm /etc/mtab
cat /dev/null >/etc/utmp
/etc/mount /dev/rp3 /usr
rm -f /usr/spool/lpd/lock
: /etc/accton /usr/adm/acct
rm -f /usr/tmp/*
rm -f /tmp/*
/etc/update
date >/dev/console

"Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2", Duchamp's 1912 masterpiece, was shown at the 1913 Armory Show in NY, which was the first exposure most of mainstream America got to modern art. The press went wild.

"The bees have started using giant telepresence robots to wander the neighborhood around the park. They're supposed to use them for pollination, but they get up to all sorts of mischief. They have a game trying to throw garbage cans high enough to reach the axis."

Liz Brady (on the left in Scarabees vid) is one of my favorite Ye-Ye artists. Born & raised in Egypt, got big in France, formed this duet in Quebec.
