All set up. Tomorrow comes. Also come try out @polpo.org’s amazing PicoIDE! With the web interface pulled up on an iPad! It’s Pretty Neat™.
If the latest FIRIS perimeter for #WoodsideFire is accurate, this would be one of the stranger fire footprints & trajectories I've seen. Under strong NWly winds parallel to coastline, it appears fire has spotted *over oceanic coves* & into downwind forest...twice!! Whoa.

New video! This time I look at the underrated Macintosh LC III and see what kind of stupid shenanigans I can get up to with it! youtu.be/31CICgxqoCE
On Saturday's noon EDT stream, we're going to play with @polpo.org 's latest invention: the PicoIDE (a Raspberry Pi-based IDE emulator). The goal is to add this to my wood / glass /enameled wire single board 486. Let's see how easy / hard it is to set up and use! youtube.com/live/AFylWhS...

Quote posting to add that hey, if you want to come see a live PicoIDE, I’m gonna be at the end of the grand hall, where the blue arrow is pointing. Also a reminder to bring your #3DS, if you have them! Myself and a few others will have Streetpass going.
Xodium@xodium.net · 2w agoSo, it did arrive and now I can say for certain that thanks to @polpo.org being just an amazing human being and graciously letting me loan a unit pre-release…I’ll have a PicoIDE Deluxe unit on demo in my Windows 98 build for #VCFWest! Very, very stoked about this and can’t wait to get it rolling.

The mid-90s did not treat Apple well, and the company released some pretty, well, mid products. But was a seemingly mediocre model actually all that bad? Let’s find out! youtu.be/hC0z7rMZ33E
This was supposed to be Apple's WORST computer...but isn't?

On Saturday's noon EDT stream, we're going to see if we can get any acceleration out of a Macintosh Display Card 8•24 GC that is missing cache chips (and has other issues). I'll also be showing off a new trick that BlueSCSI can do- functioning as a video card! youtube.com/live/r5RdXcx...

Does anyone happen to have v 7.0 control panel for the Macintosh Display Card 8-24 GC? I'm trying to get this one working, but it is missing two impossible to find cache chips. V 7.0 supposedly doesn't use the cache as opposed to v 7.0.1 which is more easy to find savagetaylor.com/TIL/TIL10405...
