I guess we used to fly without @ForeFlight, I can’t live without it in the #tigerbaron
If you’re a pilot in winter this is what it looks like out your office window. #tigerbaron
Oh, one more December project… Getting RedHat 5.2 (1998) on a 486 Monochrome laptop with 4MB of RAM.
Brain, what’s the thing we’re gonna learn in December? FPGAs Pinky. FPGAs.
From the “always be learning department, December’s new tech to learn is FPGAs! I’ll be continuing my quests to become intermediate with Commodore Assembly and writing some simple tools in Rust. Oh, and that Maximite there needs some attention. How do people have time for TV?
I don’t have a portable Commodore and felt like coding in a different room so my MacBook is just gonna have to do for this evening. Do you suppose when they designed the Retina display they considered some yahoo using it for a 40 column display?
On the prowl for Nat’s Christmas Album on Vinyl. I have several of his other albums but missing that one.
Took a little modern electronics wizardry to get it working on an LCD but this is a surprisingly usable writing machine. Plus it has no internet which is its best feature. #commodore 128
Trying to decide which to have in my office setup next. Note that the RedHat 5.2 is from the first time they used that version number. So 1998. I’m leaning Amiga…
We’re being invaded
Several of my friends brought up T-38s as their favorite 60s era jets to look for on eBay. Sometimes I wonder if Alexa is listening to us because over the weekend I counted at least 9 T-38s at the airport. And no, this is not a common occurrence to see them at all here.
