I think in some instances a @bluescsi.com can emulate a scsi Ethernet adapter via the raspi wifi. As far as a guide for #globaltalk check out the one linked here. marchintosh.com/globaltalk.h... Maybe some of the folks who are actively using it can chime in here. They are awesome.

Lovely moon tonight. Jupiter is just beside it.

On this day in 1946, ENIAC - the first general-purpose electronic computer in the US was formally unveiled to the public. It filled an entire room, used 17,468 vacuum tubes, and consumed 150 kW of power. I didn’t quite finish my VR simulation in time for ENIAC day.

I’ve created an MCP Server that will help writing and debugging #6502 assembly by creating a virtual machine (based on VirtualKim). If you dabble in 6502 it might be useful. It works alongside Codex, Claude Code etc. github.com/GrantMeStren...

AI companies getting high on their own supply.

Thanks Kickstarter, but I’m just not sure the world needs another flashlight-pocket knife-wallet combo that can also make espresso up a mountain while charging my phone.

Do you know of FidoNet? In pre-internet days, when using modems to dial long distance was expensive, message boards (BBSs) would call each other up at night and send messages across the country at local rates. Absolute genius.

Classic mode (optional) to reduce shock when the Pocket Universe update rolls out. It’s better though: tap and hold any button to pick the feature that launches.

The Moon, right now.

Wake up and smell the fascism.

Currently testing an update to the original Pocket Universe that will update it to Pocket Universe 2 (with a lifetime subscription). Need to have just one code base for updates, new features etc going forward.

After the crazy success of Trek ‘75 (over 20 downloads!!) I bring you Trek 85. Due to the chronomatic effects of flying too fast and too close to the sun, your starship has returned to 1980. Can you survive? testflight.apple.com/join/f9WJ3jVJ

Rick is the best.

My commit message meant to say “refactor” but I spelt it “refector” which as Northern Irish as a commit could ever be. So it is.

Thank you very much, beta testers! Your feedback has been great! This version: * Improves text formatting * Updates visual appearance of Settings, Explore and Find menus. * Fixes bug with coordinates not updating / reporting wrong values

Given the current price of RAM, I’m sitting on an absolute gold mine with these chips.

They used to "laugh and call him names." Now they're all dead

Pocket Universe 2 for iOS s nearly ready for release. Completely rewritten (Objective-C -> Swift, OpenGl to SceneKit to RealityKit to, finally, Metal) it’s taken literally years. Please have a look and let me know of any bugs so I can ship it this coming week! testflight.apple.com/join/HRdBMHkY

There has been a slow-down in Pocket Universe 2 releases. Turns out Apple scrapped SceneKit, but the replacement RealityKit is just awful (still think it was a bunch of ex-MSFT people who designed it). So I’m rewriting it all AGAIN but this time in Metal.

Lots of work has been done this weekend! Hope you can try the app and report any issues! TestFlight: testflight.apple.com/join/HRdBMHkY

Waiting to resolve two things before publishing my app. 1. The artist to delivery 2. Memory issues causing crashes Not sure which will be resolved first.

Another new Pocket Universe 2 beta release is available for testing via TestFlight. Fixed motion tracking bug, added a Solar Activity view, improved sun rise/set table, fixed button tap bug, reduced app size. testflight.apple.com/join/HRdBMHkY

Pocket Universe 2 beta on TestFlight. New features include: Aurora forecast, satellites view, support for iPad in landscape with menus, Southern Hemisphere highlights, and reduced memory. If you can take a few mins to try it & report issues, that would be awesome! testflight.apple.com/join/HRdBMHkY

Agree #coding

New Pocket Universe 2 beta for testing via TestFlight! testflight.apple.com/join/HRdBMHkY New: Dramatically reduced memory footprint (hopefully works on older iPhones a bit better). Support for Southern Hemisphere users, new user interface around membership, and new constellation boundary outlines.

New landscape option.

New updates to Pocket Universe 2 included support for multiple landscapes, improved constellations, and just less bugs. I hope. Try it! testflight.apple.com/join/HRdBMHkY
