@aka_pugs@nluug we definitely need more real original architects from the early days of UNIX and the likes to share their views like Tom did!
If you are a crossbow developer, a webserver (or even gopher) architect or a Solaris kernel-dev, please submit a talk for the Fall conference, or let me know here, right now, so I can try to strong arm you into it using just words and incentives from your peers. 😇😇 #opensource#computerhistory#insights#unix#nluug
I am astounded at how advanced a game Elite was on the BBC Micro. This video does a great exploration of the mechanics of it, how it was written, the history around it, and its influences to this day. He also gave a big shout out to others who have thoroughly documented the game as well. #RetroComputing#RetroGaming#ComputerHistory Elite: "The game that couldn't be written"
🛠️🍏 Next week, our volunteer Andrés will begin assembling a museum replica of the Apple I computer. It's an "open lab," so feel free to get hands-on, as it will take place in the classroom on the 1st floor. All are welcome!
Would you like to hear what the radio transmission of the game sounds like? 📻 Here's a recording for those who missed it. 🎙️ PS. You can also record the game from this video. 📹

📻 We are broadcasting a ZX Spectrum game over the air in collaboration with Radio Student! This week marks Radio Student's 55th anniversary, and they were among the European stations broadcasting computer programs over the radio in the 1980s, a tradition we are reviving.

Hi! Does somebody maybe know US or EU based individual/site/company where I can order punching data to cards (standard, 12-row/80-column punched cards)? So I send them data to be punched (no cards) and they would send me the punch cards by post? Have in mind Im asking about punch cards, not tapes.
Get ready to tune in your tape recorders! On May 8th at 9:30 pm, we'll be airing computer programs over the airwaves! Tune in to the frequency 89.3 FM to catch a broadcast of a ZX Spectrum game. After tuning in to the radio, you'll have the opportunity to record the game onto your tape. Then, you can play it on your Spectrum and dive right into the gaming experience!
