    March 14, 1984, Susan Kare demonstrates the Macintosh user interface on an episode of The Computer Chronicles. I love how she says “Mac,” not “the Mac.” #vintageMac #classicMac #Apple #Macintosh

    Excerpts from Bill Atkinson’s last interview, with David Pogue. The bit about “loser-friendly” software made me laugh. What a brilliant and kind soul he was. #vintageMac #classicMac #Macintosh #Apple

    Working on UI tweaks to my VOID adventure game. I’ve been adjusting some icons based on feedback and would love to hear your opinions on a few variations!

    It's #MARCHintosh, so I decided to post an update on my interactive fiction #HyperCard project.

    Because I always have multiple projects in development, progress has been slow but steady—including the user interface, text parser, and other foundational under-the-hood development. The proof-of-concept UI is attached!

    Please help with this project by offering your feedback, suggestions, and support:

    #Netatalk experts: any idea why, as of late, my AFP #GlobalTalk shares have been showing up with generic document icons on Mac OS 7.x? But the icons look just fine on Mac OS 9?

    This started happening around the time I migrated my shares from my NAS over to a Raspberry Pi, and upgraded to Netatalk 4.3.2.

    I've confirmed that the share folder permissions are the same on both systems, as well as the permissions on the hidden “.Icon$\r” files at the root of the shares. However the Finder does not allow me to change the icons via the Get Info screen (on both Mac OS 7 and 9), which seems to imply that there _is_ a permissions issue of some kind. Yet, folks can read and write to the shares just fine.

    I tried deleting the hidden icon files, which made no difference (other than causing the default Netatalk icon to show on Mac OS 9, since I removed the custom icon). Changing the "legacy icon" option in the Netatalk config also makes no difference, other than making a different Netatalk icon show on Mac OS 9.

    #Macstodon now runs in the latest bleeding-edge build of the Snow emulator! And if you use Snow's built-in HTTPS stripping, then you don't have to configure WebOne or another proxy, just install Macstodon and start using it 😎

    Thanks @twvd for the FPU fixes and all the other hard work you put into Snow! This is the kick-in-the-pants I need to get the next version of Macstodon out the door 🙂
