  1. who would've thought that ripping old CDs then listening to the music would be a relaxing activity?

  2. I have a Lotus LRT170C Rotary Tool Kit and I'm wondering what tool press I can use it with.

  3. i finally got around to enabling 4ch mode on my motherboard sound card and attaching that extra pair of speakers for REAR left and REAR right. mwahaha!! some utilities I needed include: alsa-utils alsa-tools. this script was useful too. github.com/hello2himel/linux-a

    I had just fixed an old pair of Altec Lansing ACS91 speakers and thought that I could use them as Rear speakers and what do you know, they actually sound really nice.

  4. Had some fun playing Pac-Man on the #Atari 800XL with my son last night.

    Join us at for Round 2 of this year's AtariAge Atari 8-bit Computer High Score Club Season. forums.atariage.com/topic/3881

    Round 1 was for Galaxian.
    Voting for Round 3 game selection is ongoing.

  5. because i wasn't getting any work done on atari-spotify-app, I took another route and added a spotify command to YAIL. now I can listen to spotify and display album covers on the #atari8bit. #fujinet and #spotify premium needed.

  6. There's a 2.9kb binary file that runs on #Atari8bits with #FujiNet that quickly connects you to the Southern AMIS Projects 2026 - #Atari Gateway.

    Here's a short demo.

    btw, the "app" is even smaller than the animated GIF here. :D

  7. because of (a) possible compatibility issues with Linux (for the Epson v39) and (b) unavailability of some scanner models (the Canon LiDE 400 wasn't), I ended up purchasing the Canon CanoSense LiDE 300 for ₱3,950 (US$67.31) which is not a bad deal. after some testing, it is working fine under #Debian12.

  8. Bought a Canon #CanoScan LiDE 300 from PC Express today. Works really nicely on my #Debian12 desktop.

  9. Deciding to get a flatbed scanner: either an Epson Perfection V39 or a Canon LiDE 400. I'm on #Debian12 and right now I'm leaning toward the Canon because it appears to be easier to get working with #Linux.

    Which do you think I should get?

  10. one of the blockers to migrating my #WWIV #BBS from my old server to a new server is that some of the old doors that work with #dosemu 1.x no longer work in #dosemu2. i may just bite the bullet and transfer anyway.

  11. figuring out how to add {fmt} to my c++ implementation of #WWIV #BBS InterBBS LastCallers. i just love using it in wwiv's code, so i want it in my own projects too.

  12. Working on some small patches to the #atari800 emulator. In particular, fixing some small nits in SDL2 stuff that don't quite work the same way as they did with SDL1.2. Some of these are minor, but wading through the code to figure out what is going on and what might have caused the problems is part of what makes this fun.

  13. I discovered that B. Watson (Urchlay) ported #Taipan to the #Atari8bit recently (2026). Obligatory screenshot below. It's still work-in-progress, but it's already pretty good.

    I had wanted to port Taipan too, and I've posted elsewhere about my own feeble attempts. At least now, I can just enjoy playing the game on my Atari 800XL. :)

    If you want to check it out, it's available at slackware.uk/~urchlay/repos/ta

  14. Here's a sample screenshot of FujiNet-Chat running on #atari800 with #Fujinet-PC on #Linux. FujiNet-Chat is an #IRC client for #Atari8bit computers.

  15. today, i worked on implementing netsio proceed signal handling in the #atari800 emulator. after hours of dev, I got it working and submitted a PR to the github:atari800/atari800 project.

  16. haha... i got my son, with me in the Philippines, to talk with someone in Poland over IRC using my #Atari800XL with #Fujinet-PC running #FujiNetChat. he enjoyed the experience.

  17. I got FujinetChat to work on my Atari 800XL! But only after fixing some code in fujinet-firmware to get the PROCEED signal properly handled for SIO2PC.

    The fix was submitted as my first PR to the fujinet-firmware project on github. It was accepted. :)

    FujinetChat is an IRC client for Atari 8-bit computers written by Urchlay.

  19. Played Night Driver on the #Atari800XL with my son. Paddle controllers should be in Port 2, and the joystick controller in Port 1. Press [Option] key to switch between [J]oystick and [P]addle controls, [Select] to choose track, [Start] to start a game. Try to center the paddle BEFORE the game begins, joystick Up to lower gear, joystick Down to shift to higher gear. My son got a high score of 300! He enjoyed it so much despite the graphics being primitive, it was immersive.

  20. Someone sent me a set of Atari paddle controllers today! Can't wait to try them out with my #atari800xl.

    What #atari8bit paddle compatible games do you recommend?

  21. I wanna try this trmnl.com/guides/turn-your-ama on an old Kindle Touch that hasn't been used in years. It'll be (a) a cool project, (b) a nice way to re-use the old Kindle, (c) a means to get a TRMNL without spending. TRMNL matches ideas that I've had about interesting ways to use e-ink displays from when they were first introduced.

    Of course, I'll eventually BYOS too. Oh, waitaminit. I should set up the BYOS part first.

  22. i cannot seem to find any helpful information about enabling my pcspkr beep in #Debian12. initially, i thought it wasn't working because my motherboard didn't have the piezo speaker attached. so i got a new piezo speaker and now my box gives of that satisfying beep when i power it up, and it beeps also when grub loads with "GRUB_INIT_TUNE" set up in /etc/defaults/grub. my user is in the `beep` group. i have the `beep` package installed. but running `beep` doesn't beep at all.

  23. This is the cover of the oldest issue of Compute! magazine that I remember owning.

    What I appreciated most about this magazine was that it covered the different systems of the era, enough for me to appreciate the other systems too. Unlike the magazines that specialized in one system, the diversity in scope gave me a wider perspective of what the early home computers were capable of, as well as showcase strengths of each platform.

  24. Sometimes a document is too long to fit in a flatbed scanner's platen. Scan it twice, at different parts so there is an overlap. Then you can use a tool like github.com/ivangermes/SmartIma to stitch the images together. It is cross-platform and works on Windows, Linux, Android and the Web. I've only tested it on Linux though.
