A time-warp to my room around late 1992, where I show how exhilarating it was to be a game developer. 😆

Box titles have been added to Scriptee! Testing different style and location configurations here. Implementing the RUN command is next on the task list.

If you've ever used, or heard of, the legendary Deluxe Paint ("DPaint") Amiga (and MS-DOS) pixel editor, @PyDPainter is a very accurate, free recreation of it, with some added features.

New video! I'm checking out a really cool new open source RAM Tester, updating the firmware and testing some chips.

TIL about the TRON project, started 1984 in Japan as an architecture for real time operating systems, including a VLSI based CPU. It's some sort of ancestor for todays widely used RTOS real time operating system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRON_project
IEEE Micro issue March/April 1987 has several articles on different aspects of the TRON project. #vintagecomputing #tron #rtos

Scriptee development post part 11 is published which introduces the POKE, BACK, and WAIT commands.
-
Bit more progress on Scriptee. Put an exclusion on the XE box style when inverse is turned on (doesnt draw anywhere near a box). Fixed the ERROR message alignment. Fixed a bug where the script would never end if no EXIT command was given.
Test results:
-
Lunchtime testing of Scriptee's INVerse command. Looks like box styles BLOCK and XE aren't really suitable for inversing.
-
Gotta pour one out for all those goodies at Hard Off that can't come home with you

Another Scriptee test of box drawing with different styles. This time testing text placement within box specifying relative coordinates instead of absolute screen positions.

My workshop at LRC on playing with UNIX V4 was a great success!
Everyone loved the teletype and terminal. In the manner of the day, I gave manuals to teach the system and ed (@ed1conf), and we now have a cohort of new ed users. A few groups solved or got close to solving my challenge of backporting the obfuscated mullender.c program from V7 to V4. Surprisingly with a dozen or so people on at once, UNIX handled the load fantastically.

@Screwtapello Nice! I clearly remember the first Soundtracker, with the distinctive Obarski sounds he used for his Amegas and Crystal Hammer tracks.
Not long after the first Soundtracker was released we released our SIDmon tracker, which was the first tracker to include generated synth sounds.

Today I got an Amstrad Notepad NC100 in original box (has to be the flimsiest excuse for cardboard I ever held in my hands). The computer inside feels like barely used, maybe even good as new. It's the second one I own now, as my old one has some wear and tear and shows a dark spot on its screen that needs some attention. Will try to transfer the files over to this one first. Appreciate those little things for what they are and actually used the other one more or less here and there for some typing since I bought it around 18 years or so ago.

@philcowans This is a fantastic resource for researchers! SHARE is legendary among historians of computing. Thank you for putting the index together.
(I suggest adding the #vintagecomputing tag - that's often used to distinguish early microcomputers from minis and big iron.)

The jankiest DB-25 setup I’ve ever gotten working: Heathkit H19 terminal to null modem jumpers to DB-25 to Ethernet to DE-9 to USB to PiDP-11.
