  1. RE: mastodon.social/@keyboards/116

    A pretty clean keyboard layout... but having Return and Enter separate is quite interesting. Does pressing one or the other guarantee a newline in fields where pressing Return "submits"?

  2. @rl_dane If I wanted to make an OS, what would you think I should use as a basis for a UI?
    Do you have a link to an emulator of your favorite OS, UI-wise? I know there's that one Mac OS X system you harp on, but that's probably a bit complicated.
    Every time I spend some time playing around with , I end up refreshed (thanks for the System 1.0 link above). Elegant.

  3. @wyatt Apple II, Apple IIGS, and Macintosh stuff pre-OS X also uses carriage return ($0D) as a newline.

  8. I’m not a fan of self-boosting, but I realised I was remiss in not putting some hashtags on this post after it started gaining the small amount of traction it has.

    For those who boosted or liked the original, I’m not asking or expecting a repeat. I just hope with these hashtags it gets a little more traction to acknowledge the genius of #BillAtkinson, who affected so many lives through the genius work he did.

    I know he impacted many aspects of my life through the work he did on the Mac, the original System, and MacPaint, and it seems many others were similarly impacted.

    It’s been truly inspiring for me to see Mac legends talk how he put the lie to the saying “Never meet your heroes”, as he seemed to have been a hero to many, and never a disappointment in person.

    RIP, Bill. :alogo6:

  13. @maddiefuzz @netkitty I definitely had Neko on my 68k Macs but I *think* I had Neko on my eMate 300, too! #Newton #ClassicMacOS

  14. Writing a QuickDraw decoder gave me some ideas on how to generate compact Pict images. This could be useful when small programs are desirable, like when they are stored in a ROM chip. #retrocomputing #classicmac #classicmacos #quickdraw #quicktime #imageprocessing wiesmann.codiferes.net/wordpre

  15. Couple years ago I recreated Classic Mac OS progress and indeterminate progress bars with Core Animation. I really need to find a project to use them in! 😁

    Also, the barber pole style indeterminate progress bars were just sooooo “Macintosh.”

    I hope everyone has a great day except the person who decided to remove them from modern macOS. Ugh.

  21. I got unreasonably excited as I got a delivery notification for this disc organizer, and now I want to share this gorgeous piece of organizing joy with you all.

    (Don't tell me it's already long past Y2K and all the world-ending, humanity destroying stuff that's going on. Let me live in blissful ignorance.)

  22. And here it is. Monday evening the bar arrived. I always imagined a bar here in my home office to be able to sit and enjoy the mountains view, and the #iMac G4 was part of that dream. I'm really happy we were able to finally make this one come true.

    I still need to fiddle a bit with exact placement of things as there's some constraints. But hey, look at this. Isn't it something :-).

    So, uh, rate my #WorkFromHome setup, I guess?

  23. @nomand @neauoire why won’t anyone make that software? obviously not the trademarked and copyrighted hypercard but something as good as hypercard, but foss or actually supported?! it’s been done before that i remember but it was back in #classicmacOS era)
