Got any good games on your phone? #caturday

Love my library card ❤️

Bring back the wedge computer for 2025.

Making music for the Atari 2600 is hard... #chiptune

My goal is to get a Commodore 64 fully resuscitated by the new year. This one has a curious hack off the keyboard to an external DB25 (glued with alien saliva it seems) Wonder if it was an early hack to type on multiple systems at once?

fluxfox can now visualize Amiga floppy disks in flux formats (SCP, Kryoflux, or MFI) This is a representation of the decoded MFM data - but not yet interleaved together as the blitter would do, so the Amiga's interesting odd/even bit encodings make for some cool patterns.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

Also met this little one sleeping away the afternoon #caturday

Met this kitty a few weeks and and visited again today #caturday

Deleted my Twitter accounts a while ago, but just deleted Threads as well (you can now delete your Threads profile without deleting Instagram). Bluesky is just far and away the leader!

When life gives you lemons, make lemon garlic salmon. You’ll need salmon, lemons, garlic and butter. Melt the butter, crush the lemon and garlic through it, pour over the salmon, and grill. Top with parsley and dill.

I sold my original Amiga 500 to get an Amiga 2000, and this was a replacement for my partner we bought in college that I since restored. Surprisingly the hard drive was fine and booted up, and all the installed software and data was intact.

Atari 2600 cartridges #retrotech

An old four switch Atari 2600 with various cartridges sourced over the years #retrotech #atari

Booted my 40 year old DEC VT220 terminal. Many memories of using this (or the more amazing VT320) in college to write Fortran and Pascal programs for classes. #retrotech

Haven't decided everything I am going to post. Probably topics adjacent to cats, rain, retro tech

Hello (again!) Bluesky! It's nice to see a whole lot of familiar folks from Twitter in a better environment. I think this is going to be my main from now on. Finally feels like home again.
