Hopefully I have some time and energy to set up my MSX and play some retrogames tomorrow for #MaySiXth before I have to go to work. :)

I wish I had taken more photos of my computers back in the interesting time before PCs and Macs took over. I went through so many.
I so wish that.
Edit: A small gallery of photos I did happen to take of some of my systems from long past = https://www.flickr.com/photos/blakespot/albums/72157669919294028/

Just published: The chapter from Melanie Fritsch and me about the historical ways to (de)scribe #videogame music and sounds. I contributed a part about sound generation and description wiht #BASIC for the #Atari #8-Bit #HomeComputers

IS BASIC from the #Enterprise128 is the foremost advanced #BASIC dialects for #8Bit #HomeComputers. But it is very(!) slow. The "Creative Computing Benchmark" took nearly 5 minutes to run (comparable to the #SinclairZXSpectrum and the #TRS80 Model 100) but produced excellent results: "accuracy" is quite good (comparable with #BBCMicro) and "random" is the best of all computers measured in the contest from 1984:

POLL: 👋 Hey—Just curious… For *your* personal computer at home, do you have and *routinely* update a complete backup copy of everything on it that you then store somewhere else offsite that is safe and secure?
(Please boost for reach. Thanks!)
Tips and suggestions welcome.

Why #HomeComputers Were Not Affected By #GlobalMicrosoftOutage
#CrowdStrike's products are predominantly used by major organisations needing robust #cyberattack protection
Rarely found on #homePCs.

The conference “Commodore 64. Past, Present, and Future of a Home Computer“ is starting right now! Even 40 years after the release, the C64 is still the best selling home computer of all times, and it has induced numerous digital cultural movements since then. Join us online to learn more about this so fancy computer: https://www.medienwissenschaft.uni-bonn.de/tagungen/commodore-64-past-present-and-future-of-a-home-computer #retrocomputing #c64 #homecomputers Many thanks to @stefanhoeltgen for the organization!

Wait, isn't there something like a summer break for this guy ever?!
Nope. 'cuz summer 🌞 time is…
Radio Irrtum! SPECIAL time!
↓↓↓ German version far below the English one ↓↓↓
Precisely said, the next issue of #RadioIrrtum! will be on air this Saturday, 2024/07/06, 8:00pm UTC+2/Berlin time, sharp. Over at Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz and DAB+ K7D around Berlin and worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio/15-live-auf-91.0 .
#Radio Irrtum! is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground to raise your attention for new unheard #music. So it's fine to ignore that German language aspect - 'cuz it's all about the music!
And this time there is a Special rolling in! The…
Chiptune PuNk Special!!
Up to date helluva #phunky #demoscene #chiptunes running on old rusty #homeComputers from the 80s like the #zxSpectrum, #C16/#Plus4, #AtariST, #C64 and of course the #Amiga.
No additional effects, no extra synths, no added drums. Just pure chippy bless!
Music full of #bitrot sample aliasing & strange chirps on brutally tackled chips like the #TED, #YM2149, #SID, and of course #Paula. No worries, I'll explain it all (however in German – as my station demands it).
With super cool music hackers like…
- @[email protected]
- Shiru
- @[email protected]
- STU (didn't know him when I produced this show 4 weeks ago – just found his music excellent. However this weekend I was performing next to him on stage in La Chaux-de-Fonds (not kidding - life is sometimes full of surprises) - AND WHAT A SET HE DID, LIVE on his 2 original Atari STs!!)
- LMan
- Jammer
- @[email protected]
- Groo
- Xale or
- Psych858o
I've always wanted to produce THIS FEATURE and now it's right there, already uploaded to the station and ready 2 hit the aether. I'm totally happy how it came out and can't wait to have it in public. That is why I'll attach my in depth explanation trailer instead of just the animated Radio Irrtum! logo. This one: https://video.ploud.fr/w/iDTikV3q7y5YqeY2LBdLwn
I'll post playlist + manuscript later here (provided I’m home, else it will come up the day after). And if you have questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask!
CU all on Saturday! :)

Radio Irrtum! Chiptune Special
Diesen Samstag, 06.07.2024, 20 Uhr auf Alex Berlin, in/um Berlin auf FM 91.0 MHz und DAB+ K7D + weltweit im Stream (s.o.).
Brandaktuelle echte unverfälschte Chiptunes (kein Hall, keine extra Drums, keine extra Samples) auf alter Hardware der 80er, die auf deart absurde Weise durchgehacked wird (code only!), dass sie jetzt definitiv nicht mehr so klingt, wie ursprünglich gedacht – dafür aber major phunky! ;)
Details auf englisch oben, Playlist + Sendemanuskript nach der Sendung hier drunter und wenn ich mir was wünschen darf: Euch als Zuhörer:innen obendrauf. Danke Euch und vielleicht bis zum Samstag Abend… -

May 6th aka #MaySiXth is #MSXDay. ;)
If you have an #MSX, be sure to give it some love today!
Maybe join the celebrations by sharing a photo of your setup?
This is the #Philips #NMS8250 #MSX2 from my childhood, for example, running a Korean bootleg of #Nemesis3, the #EveOfDestruction.#MaySix #homecomputer #homecomputers #retroComputing #retroGaming

Some days ago I wrote an article for the RETURN #RetroComputing magazine about abbreviation methods in different #BASIC dialects. The Pecom 32 and Galaksija #HomeComputers hold two new forms: PR for PRINT (Pecom 32) and # for DATA (Galaksijan):

FRAK ("List Fakultetskog Racunardskog Kluba Fakulteta Graditeljskih Znanosti Sveucilista u Rijeci") was the first jugoslawian Computer Fanzine - made by students of engineering at the University in Rijeka in 1982 (until at leat 1985) for mostly HP and TI Calculators, #ZXSpectrum, #SharpMZ and other #HomeComputers with a built-in #BASIC. It is not digitazed and archived online yet ... 13 issues are stored in PEEK&POKE's magazine archive as #PaperWare.

Lovely collection.
"Recently, a collector named Brian Green showed off his vintage computer collection on Twitter, and we thought it would be fun to ask him about why and how he set up his at-home computer lab."

Today: Searching for more #BASIC #BreakOut listings in #PaperWare from Italy, Spain, Portugal, and the USA for #MSX and #TI99 #homecomputers
Most interesting find: a listing entitled "Demolidor" for the #AppleII printed as an example for practical game programming in the portuguese 5-volume "Enciclopedia pratica de informatica".
