    They even had the "WebFORCE" branding with the "to author and serve" tagline! I also did a lot of early web work on an Indy, and we hosted on a Challenge! I have a Challenge S righ…

    I believe from Apple officially it would be the dual 1.25ghz MDD G4. I had one new, and still have it running today!

    I have a small scope down there, and it's great! I get a lot more use out of it being permanently setup in a dark sky site, rather than use it at my suburban house. I'm currently d…

    I know I just made it up! I have an 11/23+ and I'm guessing I was thinking of that 3!

    I had access to a VMS system in my BBS days, and I had no idea it wasn't just some hard to use BBS software. When it clicked that it was a real operating system on a giant machine …

    Why does it need to talk to facebook.com, ntp.org, aws.com, cloudflare.com, google.com, and windows.com?

    Thanks, that looks promising!

    I wish it was still supported, but I'm sure I was one of very few that was actually using it! Even then it was just for fun.

    That looks great even now! Do you still have your dotfiles somewhere?

    One easy thing I've been doing for years is just dropping the Applications directory onto my dock. Instant launcher. Otherwise I just use spotlight if I want to launch by typing.

    I usually get stuck about halfway through and give up. Doing it in a Lisp I’ve been writing in Ruby will have me giving up even sooner, but it will be fun!

    I spent so much time updating IRIX and Ultrix systems for Y2K... And it was not fun, but now I play with those systems for fun. So I guess I'm weird!

    I've found it to be very good and accurate at these sort of tasks. I use it all the time to turn some weirdly formatted data into CSV or something else with structure.

    This! I've probably said it here before, but Apple won the Unix workstation wars in the most awesome way possible. You can now buy an insanely powerful RISC Unix workstation at the…

    I recently slimmed down Windows 3.0 to run it from a 1MB SRAM card on a MS-DOS 5.0 palmtop. I just did it by trial and error, and I think I can slim it down further from this guide…

    I had one of their electronics books too, and it was great! That book got me going on a lot of what I still work on today!

    I just did a long mile road trip in my 2023 Model Y LR, and it wasn't a lot of fun. Even in the 30Fs I would get around 200 miles of range. I tried to get to the next charger with …

    Lego has got to be the lowest on the list for me as far as concern about plastic use. Who throws away Lego? Post a couple pounds of Lego on FB marketplace and see how fast it sells…

    From my Model Y manual: "Autosteer is intended for use on controlled-access highways with a fully attentive driver. Do not use Autosteer in construction zones, or in areas where bi…

    I have like messing with server-side Swift, and I asked it at the WWDC Swift table. I was pretty much met with blank stares. Either they just have no interest in it, or I ran into …

    Windows CE in the late-palmtop days was pretty neat. I did a lot with my HP Joranda!

    Nova is worth a try if you're a Mac user! On Sublime, it's a great editor, and being cross platform is really nice. They really do need to update the web site to reflect that it's …

    Is there anything else new or interesting going on in the Moo/Mu* space right now? A while back I wrote a MU*-style system in Ruby, using js as the scripting language. It has a web…
