  1. I was 30 minutes into the movie Speak No Evil before I could remember where I knew the husband from. It was funny because both actors of the couple were in Halt and Catch Fire and I instantly recognized the wife. 😄

  3. Reading what the audience thinks of it and since I also read the book, I'm going to add Project Hail Mary to my Bluray-Wishlist.

    Yes. Bluray.

    The other shows I would like to see released as Blurays are "Shogun" (the one from Disney+) and "Halt and Catch Fire" (AMC).

    There's even a petition for the latter to have it released on Bluray.

    Thoroughly ignored by AMC of cause.

    I don't like that tv shows and movies just drop into nonexistence if the next streaming service decides against buying the license to offer them for streaming.

  5. I'm working through the first season of Halt and Catch Fire.

    It's really good, but I still can't get past the fact that they cast Ronan the Accuser in the lead role.

  12. I'm watching Halt & Catch Fire on Pluto.TV. I was a HUGE fan when it aired, and still am. When Netflix had it I watched it a few more times, but I haven't seen it in many years.

    I want to go back in time and work for Cardiff Electric.

    I'd also like to build a Cardiff Giant computer clone. Put a reaspberry pie in there. That would be so much fun.

    I'd love to find someone who wanted to contribute to a project like that.

  14. Halt and Catch Fire is on Pluto.TV right now. I loved this show for obvious reasons, but haven't been able to watch it since it aired, and like some of my other favorite shows, because it's a universe I want to live in.

  16. That's why it's good to have multiple backups of important data! Not just keep it on a cloud! Apparently, *clouds* can #HaltAndCatchFire! @InfoSecSherpa

  18. Ah, the "Halt and Catch Fire" syllabus—because nothing screams cutting-edge tech education like a TV show from 2014. 📺🚀 Let's face it, if your curriculum is based on binge-watching, maybe you need to reboot your study habits. 😂🎓

  20. Currently watching #HaltAndCatchFire for the third time - I love this series so much and knew few people who have even heard of it.

    I'm at the point in season 4 where Comet is building a Yahoo-like web #directory and Rover is developing a Google-like search algorithm. I remember that time well and how revelatory Google #search was back then.

    In the context of HACF, it's clear that Comet can't scale to the expected size of the Internet.

    It's sad now to be at the stage where it's clear that Google can't (or rather has chosen not to) scale with the predictable volumes of grifters and bad-faith actors now flooding the web.

    We're at the stage where a Comet-like directory is starting to feel like the only viable solution, with some real human curation by people with understanding of what is significant to different audiences for each topic.

  21. With a huge backlog of new shows to watch of course what I decide to do is put "Halt and Catch Fire" into rotation for a watch through again. First episode down, wow I forgot so much of the show. So good! #HaltAndCatchFire #tv
  22. Nearly ripped my heart out

    Depending on how well you know me, you’ll have differing ideas about how much of a “softie” I am. I’ll be clear: I’m a big softie; all bark and no bite.

    Here on the ‘ol blog—3,000 posts is coming up fast—I don’t normally bother even mentioning entertainment—”tv” colloquially… Well, I just finished watching Halt and Catch Fire (originally from AMC, but streaming on Netflix.)

    Now, maybe it’s the fact that I basically lived through what the show is about. Maybe it’s because, you know, I was the Wizard behind the curtain who built those things and lived through those creations and wrote the code and pulled the wires and bent stuff until it caught fire. Maybe it’s because I’m getting up there in years. Maybe it’s because the thing just had to fucking end on Peter Gabriel’s, Solsbury Hill. Maybe because 30 years ago I made some life-long friends listening to that music… Maybe it’s because I still believe I’ve not accomplished anything and absolutely understand the pull… Or maybe it was just Gordon’s words…

    Or maybe I’m not conveying the feeling at all.

    …but perhaps—just maybe—you’ve caught a glimmer of apprehension…

    So.

    What are you gonna’ do with that, Craig?

    And hey, what are you going to do next?
