OK Friendly fZ80 Computers are now for sale!
I have no ecommerce site of my own and likely never will. I'm intending to use eBay. But I want to offer folks here first shot so I don't want to put the eBay page up.
There are ten units for sale. $90 each. There's no rational way to price these 10 […]

Pet peeve: people who buy things from walk up counter cafe's and do not tip. Not one of those people is adequately paid. If you can afford the luxury of having someone hand you coffee and a tasty treat (truly, one of my favorite things in the world) then you can afford to give them a buck. It's […]

We don't have interesting and one off designs like the Cray, I suspect partly because corporations simply will not invest that much resource into a single person. Insufficient control over over the outcome.

So very many of us had this great idea (a large blob of related ideas really) that we could have an electronic network we could all use. Like the international postal service, a genuine boon.
Ok, why did we go along with everyone using the same few platforms at the same time? It's on it's face […]

Friday night, ordered food. App shows delivery person approaching. I get up, say, "no barking!", as I approach the door the bell rings, all dogs commence intense barking.
I fetch food, etc.

I said I'd have the fZ80 machines done and up for sale by the end of the week, and I failed. But it's pretty close; the machines and documentation is done, but the eBay page is not. I'll do that this weekend.

Huh. The BCPL Wikipedia page says they it was the first "curly brace" language. This seems misleading to me.
This is only literally true in a "bacronym" sort of way.

Hmm, just removed a follow and blocked a user from the big mastodon, with a username punny with 'crisis', 0 followers, 0 posts, bio of "everything is computer!" dark but not quite problematic avatar and image and two follows.

Watching some dumb horror movie, put on the desert ("cabin in the woods" model) and of course there's drugz, and one of the characters talks about 2C-E!

I want an MP/M (Z80) laptop. I have everything needed except a display. So close!
How fast could I2C or SPI display be? Probably not fast enough. Using VGA via DMA now, the VGA is fine for a cabled monitor (via HDMI if necessary).

Dogs spend a lot of time with their faces very close to other dog faces, looking and touching with their whiskers (very sensitive). To people too, if you lay down. It's very funny, except for all the saliva.

While data leaks are relatively few, their effects are so large, it is as if there is on fact no security at all, which is very interesting.
I'd argue, that given the leaks in the last decade, all leaked data should just be made searchable and downloadable by all of us. I'm quite serious.

We're watching the remake or follow on to THE TOXIC AVENGER and I didn't know it would just be contemporary documentary?
