Hey, I bet you didn't hear that Zork 1, 2, and 3 were open-sourced today!

…Oh, you have heard. Yeah. Way ahead of me. :)

Here's my comments, and some details that you might not have seen.

Zork is now open source
Two years ago, I wrote: Microsoft-the-company does not care about Infocom. But a lot of people in Microsoft must care. Microsoft is heavily populated by greying GenX nerds just like me. Folks who grew...

Happy Birthday to 40 years of non-overlapping #Microsoft #Windows.
introducing power windows Microsoft ® Windows has arrived. Windows gives you a practical way to integrate programs. It radically decreases the time it takes to move from one application to another. Dramatically simplifies the means of consolidating data from many different programs. And, as a graphical extension of the MS-DOS® operating system, it gives you a highly visual way to work and to organize your work. In short, Windows brings efficiency to all those processes of personal computing which have till now been awkward, unwieldy, inconvenient. The joys of job hopping. With the advent of Windows. vou can work with multiple applications. And switch from program to program with ease. Start up with one application, then another, and another. Leap back and forth between applications as your work routine dictates. Then pick up right where you left off. The ability of Windows to change quickly from program to program logically and naturally magnifies the utility and productivity of the personal computer. And is a recognition of the way people who exploit the power of PCs really do their jobs. Breaking the 640K barrier. Just like you, Microsoft Windows can handle several projects at the same time. Juggle assign-ments. Deal with frequent interruptions. And Windows will ignore the 640K limit of your PC, especially if you have a hard disk, the Intel® Above Board, or expanded memory. It will execute the rather neat trick of working with more programs than memory can hold at one time.

Pre-order now: THEA1200 revives the spirit of the early 90s as an astonishingly accurate, faithful replica of one of the most popular home computers of its time, beautifully redesigned with HDMI and USB ports for the modern age.

Why did nobody tell me that the #icon of the A+L Oberon #compiler was inspired by "the dragon book" (Aho, Ullman)?
Back cover of The Principles of Compiler design don quichote on his steed in front of 6 windmills labeled "complexity of compiler design". the horse is labeled "Data flow analyis" the shield "syntax directed translation and the improvised lance LALR Parser generator the tail of the dragon on the front cover is still visible

I managed to totally miss this somehow - the Mac app for Ruffle, the Flash emulator, bundles a Safari extension. If you pop it in /Applications, suddenly Safari can natively play back any webpage with Flash in it. I'm going to the Radiskull website and watching cartoons like it's 2000. ruffle.rs

If you can run #C64 software and want to get into the mood for #Halloween, I recommend heading over to csdb.dk/release/?id=..., watch the demo and maybe play the game at the end (or on disk 4).
The upper half of a rotten skull is floating in the darkness. a candle is propped on top. scrolling text is penetrating the skulls eye sockets and spirals around the candle. A mischievous cat (hiding an axe behind her back) looks at the camera. clouds shroud the superman behind another graveyard. a crow is propped on Santas grave and a spider hangs from an invisible branch above. A scene like in silent era horror movies: semi transparent skeletons dance in front of a spooky graveyard scenery. A cat on a tombstone, gnarly trees and an oversized full moon set the mood. A cauldron and four carved and illuminated pumpkins of various sizes sit on the word Pumpkins - written in large bubbly, shiny, friendly letters.

Not a fan of the new puffy bsky icon. But no reason to be annoyed. It’s still better than many others.
