#introduction (repost and edit from my old profile)

Hi, I'm Allie! I'm a queer transfeminine nonbinary person in the PDX area. I live with my nesting partner, our kiddo, and two cats.

I'm into #retrocomputing/ #permacomputing, reading, teaching, amateur radio, gardening, cooking, baking, making electronic music, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

The Interim Computer Festival is this Saturday and Sunday at 3100 Airport Way S in Seattle from 10am-6pm. Come see the many PDP-8 systems and other vintage computers. https://sdf.org/icf #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #community

You all still remember these?

Working in an Acorn RISC PC600 which Had battery damage.
Looking lime this without VRAM module ... so the error must be around the onboard VRAM or it's logic.
Any hints?

Translating infrared signals into concentrated heat near thermal paper is advanced heat-bending.

Since I’m currently fiddling with SuSE 6.4 which I have running in a VM (and soon on hardware again, I hope), here are some screenshots from #GIMP 1.1 on SuSE Linux 6.4. Around 25 years old.

How many PDP-8 systems will be at Interim Computer Festival? So far we believe 5 to celebrate 60 years of the coolest minicomputer you never heard of.

New video! Trying to fix a really badly broken Commodore 16, taking numerous wrong turns along the way.

There are already over a hundred videos uploaded. If these haven't federated to your server yet, you can browse them all at https://makertube.net/a/morefunmakingit/videos

And then sometimes back in the 1950s, Grace Hopper invented the compiler: https://spectrum.ieee.org/from-punch-cards-to-python #vintagecomputring #retrocomputing #techhistory

Yay! The replay of today's stream is on the tube.

Patching someone in via Discord worked great, we even shared screens without my internet connection dying.

Few tweaks for next week's stream and I'm probably going to invite anyone to call in and chat during the stream.
