My networking gear has always celebrated ... #PrideMonth #Retrocomputing

@jcs.org Do you have a preferred method of contact regarding your DaynaPort changes to BlueSCSI earlier this year? I maintain a packet driver for DOS systems that supports this, and I'm trying to understand if your changes require changes in the packet driver.

In case you have been missing out on the photo album from last weekend's VCF PNW, you can (for now) find it here: photos.app.goo.gl/HZZrQnD7rcbB...

I am going to *try* and get this ready by Saturday morning and frankly butcher this down to under 40 minutes but if nobody hears from me for a few days, I'm locked in the Edit Room trying to splice together a masterpiece. :P

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

VCF PNW 2026 is one week away! Three talks and 25+ exhibits including original machines, replicas, and upgrades. And best of all, the conversations! vcfpnw.org May 2nd and 3rd, Tukwila, WA (just south of Seattle near the SEATAC airport). Sponsored by the Interim Computer Museum. #retrocomputing

(Warning: Blatant spam about an event I care about) Come join us for Vintage Computer Festival Pacific Northwest 2026 in Tukwila, WA on May 2nd and May 3rd! Details at vcfpnw.org. #retrocomputing #seattle

Every year, hundreds of people walk silently through the streets of Minneapolis… looking at the windows of the houses. It's the Wedge Cat Tour: the residents put the cats in the window and the crowd stops to admire them. Yes. This exists. 😹

VCF Pacific Northwest 2026 is just a month away! vcfpnw.org Join us May 2nd and 3rd in Tukwila, WA just south of Seattle near the SEATAC airport. We have 25+ exhibits, 3 talks, and you get to hang-out with some great people! Sponsored by the Interim Computer Museum (icm.museum). #retrocomputing

"I don't say this lightly: when we escape this trump hell there needs to be a Presidential Crimes Commission. It should be made up of independent prosecutors who look at those who enabled a corrupt president." Eric Swalwell

Here's your moment of zen: A "holy" cat named Coco stands at the entrance of a church in Mexico, seemingly blessing everyone who walks in 🐱

Jesse Jackson was always present somewhere for many things, but the thing I remember him best for was reading Dr. Seuss on Saturday Night Live. 30+ years later it is amazing to watch - he never breaks character.

Bonus: people who voted for Trump won't even get the joke.

VCF PNW is back! We're looking for exhibitors and presentations. See more details at vcfpnw.org . #retrocomputing

I'm still trying to understand what Renee Nicole Good did to deserve what is effectively a summary execution. Needless and senseless violence. That served no interest.

Take a break from the usual insanity for a different kind of insanity: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMGb... #retrocomputing #chiptunes

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

The Northern Lights were visible a few minutes ago just north of Seattle! #aurora

I'm finally old enough to understand why Hotblack Desiato had to be dead for a year for tax reasons. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...)

Trying to coax good output from a 40+ year old, low-end thermal printer. The thumbnail is bad - expand it to see the full image. This started as a color JPG that was made grayscale, resized, dithered, then converted to the printer codes. (I wrote everything except the rescaling.) #retrocomputing

#pinball My kids got me this T-shirt. I feel seen..

Meanwhile in Minneapolis: "Show us your cats!"

#nature #pinball My wife keeps telling me there is a pinball place right after the next mile. I think I've been duped.

when do we stop blaming everything on “generations” and accept that all kinds of people are born all the time... “Gen X are the new boomers” “Millennials are the new boomers” “Gen Z are the new boomers” this isn’t useful. it’s just ragebait taking advantage of intergenerational trauma.

Gen X is about listening to Duran Duran while paying your bills online.

Event alert! If you are in Seattle Mar 22-23 then come hang out with us at the Interim Computer Festival! (sdf.org/icf/) I'll be showing DOS networking with mTCP and helping people debug networking on their machines or get setup for the first time. It's an exhibit and a clinic! #retrocomputing

Regarding the Palisades fires ... this was a very good read about the fire danger history of the area. mikeindustries.com/blog/archive...

Pinball used to be seen as a game of chance, like slot machines. In 1976 Roger Sharpe called a shot on a pinball machine during a hearing in Manhattan, New York City. After that the council unanimously approved lifting a ban on pinball. I had no idea ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_S...

This creature was not amused by my attention to it.

It's time to dust this classic off ... hepwori.github.io/execorder/ Enjoy!
