In 2024, I put together a pack of SVG wallpapers based on some iconic vintage computer front panels, because the industrial design was (imo) beautiful.
At the time, I shared them to mastodon, but that was two instances ago, and they were only created as 1920x1080 images.
So today, I've put them on my website, along with the #inkscape SVGs used to create them.

Ich kaufe viele Alteisenbücher (zwangsweise) antiquarisch. Häufig bekommt man da ehemalige Bibliotheksexemplare, öfter auch mal Bücher mit Widmung (immer zufällig, darauf lege ich keinen Wert). Ich habe sogar welche mit einer Widmung des Autors bzw. der Autorin. Bisher genau einmal in meinem Alteisenregal habe ich ein offenbar verschenktes Buch mitsamt zugehörigem Dankesschreiben (nebst Rechtschreibfehlern). #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #datageneral

I’m gonna refine the shit out of some macro data.
(Yeah I know it’s not the same model, but still…)

Computers used to look way cooler than they do now. This Data General Eclipse system with its terminal printer is a beauty (InfoAge museum, Wall NJ).

The parallel stories of Data General, the Eclipse MV/8000, and The Soul of a New Machine. I love the book but I wish it went into more technical detail.

INFINITE PAGE FAULT. Rereading Soul of A New Machine. It's interesting to see how exotic concepts like being immersed in an abstract computer environment got presented to the public. #RetroComputing #DataGeneral

Why have one proprietary power supple for an obscure computer when you can have two!
