I think screenshots from my scope desktop software is better than a photo of the scope screen. I’m going to start with pinouts of a Longboard 64 NTSC and organize the github repo. This would be much easier with two people in person. One to probe, the other to record. #commodore

I want to see scope pinouts of every pin on every chip on a VIC-20, C64 (long and short) and 128. If it doesn’t exist, I may create this as a resource. Just power on and pin out, screenshot scope. Nothing running. #commodore

I will never take list/array slicing in my day job for granted again. Doable, but so messy. #commodore #crypto

Don’t get impatient. Silly mistake. #commodore

Another 128 today. I’m not sure I understand this yet, but a wonky 8563 (80 column chip) was causing an issue on the CIA at U1. Took a while to figure this one out for a friend. When did I become my local 128 repair shop? I barely know what I’m doing #commodore

Out of all the vendors I deal with @futurewas8bit is one of the best. Consistent and great products. Penultimate+ and a 6502 this time. #commodore

10 min lunchtime progress: Running all rotors with 26 possible starting positions on a 3 Rotor Enigma with 5 rotors to choose from (I want this to finish in my lifetime). So 1,054,560 combinations in 71 seconds(BASIC takes 2+ hours). Not bad. #commodore #c64 #crypto #enigma

Least important applicance

Our dishwasher quit last night. We quickly determined it to be the least important appliance in our house which led to a family ranking of MOST important: 1. Well Pump 2. Hot water heater 3. Washing machine-All luxuries sure, but I find the well pump particularly important to me

On the couch so no screen capture. I’m sure there are efficiencies to do but it works. Moving to the next step: 3 rotor Enigma, 5 rotors to choose from First need all possible combinations. Tomorrow we’ll add 26 starting points to each and crunch numbers #enigma #commodore #c64

Forming a new club. I’m calling it “Folks who run calculations on all combinations of a 3 rotor Engima at 1.022727 MHz durning lunch breaks”. Membership will be limited, so sign up early. #commodore
