  1. Anyone have a favorite desktop publishing app for DOS or win31 with inline jpg support?

    A word processor with inline jpg support is also acceptable. Especially if it saves RTF natively.

    I'm trying to make the #zinestation a little more of a standalone publishing rig.

  6. I've been spending a lot more time away from my home lately (and I'm several years removed from my last full time Computer-Touching gig) and I now feel like it's time to Omnibook once more.

    The #zinestation lives.

  11. For a long time, it was my primary "not at the house" machine.

    I wrote nearly every episode of #expeditionSasquatch on my #zinestation, I produced a few dozen zines, too.

    I've never been happier with a computer.

  16. Okay, that's out of the way.

    Issue one has three articles: one about my HP Omnibook (#zinestation) one about my DIY replacement for the Sony Portapak, and one about DIY Convertible Computing hardware.

    I published this one a few years ago. I intended to do a followup, but last year was not a good year for me.

    This year is a better year, it's time to write a followup.

    But ... well, I haven't done much wacky computer bullshit in the last year beyond #NewEllijayTelevision and the things that Sundog and I are working on.

    And I haven't written much about computers in the last year.

    So uhhhhhhhhh now I need to figure out what the next issue is going to be about.

  26. There are certain kinds of creation, consumption, and communication that are wholly modern, that only work in a fully graphical environment with low latency, high bandwidth broadband.

    I can't really edit photos on my #zinestation because it's a 386 (or occasionally a 486) with a monochrome screen and 4MB or 8MB of RAM.

    Video production is right out! The thing doesn't even have a sound card, for me to attempt working with audio.

    On the other hand, I use it to write nearly every episode of Expedition Sasquatch. I send most of my personal emails from that box, and I have (through various tricks) gotten it on the fediverse. I don't post much from the zinestation anymore, but I used to read and post from it and my palm pilots often enough (with tricks! It's all tricks! We'll get there.)

  31. It has been brought to my attention that I haven't talked about Jupiter's Ghost recently enough for even people who know me well to know what the hell I am talking about so

    It's time to talk about my pet project.

    Not #newellijaytelevision

    Not #expeditionsasquatch

    Not the #zinestation or the #zinestation486

    and not the #spacelarpcafe (although very nearly the space larp cafe)

    Today, right now, and for the foreseeable future, I'm talking about #jupitersghost or #jg, what it is, what I want it to be, and how you can get involved.

  36. CW: Computing (finally getting to the point)

    I want a computer that runs on AA batteries, has an SD Card reader or microSD card reader, standard I/O (USB, HDMI or Display Port, wifi)

    I currently keep my omnibook 300 in my Media Bag because it is the perfect machine for writing. It runs for weeks on 4 rechargeable AA batteries, it's blazing fast (as a writing machine and literally nothing else) and it has standard, if outdated, I/O making it easy to integrate in to the rest of my setup.

    I use it to write scripts, make zines (#zinestation) and publish web pages.

    But it certainly can't edit video, or audio, and can *barely* edit photos with a lot of patience.

  41. (Yes, I own a computer that runs windows.

    Three, actually. Well, no. Five.

    One for printers and other Windows Only hardware at the maker space.

    One for Win98.

    One is my #zinestation running win31.

    One is my wife's old laptop that we keep around in case I need old documents or whatever, that got pulled in to double duty as our media server.

    And the last one is a GPD WIN 3 that I use for playing games.

    I love the zinestation, and the GPD Win (although I'll probably install SteamOS on it, because Windows is pretty shit Outside of Steam on that formfactor), but otherwise, I am physically repulsed every time I have to touch one of these boxes.

    Nothing works. Everything is broken and hidden and unfixable.

  44. I think during the next show, we'll do a radio show read in front of the stage while the bands are tearing down between sets.

    Something in the style of The Thrilling Adventure Hour.

    Which means I need to write that, and also Flo's monolog.

    I guess I'll be dusting off the #zinestation tomorrow.

  46. I use my Omnibook as a wordprocessor, or specifically as a #zinestation connected to a dot matrix printer.

    I use my mac plus as a development box in hypercard, I was previously using it as an email box.

    I've used my c64 to connect to BBSs.

    I have an amiga that I'm hoping to use as part of a video editing rig.
