Apologies for terrible picture. my INTV1 with composite mod has a bad power board. My only working INTV is a II with RF. #intellivision #FujiNet. First successful transaction. #retrogaming #retrocomputing
lesser seen observations of late neoliberal economics: The fact that the version of House M.D. on Amazon is the international version, which doesn't have the "Teardrop" theme, due to expired rights, and the increased willingness to ship the same data regardless of region.
The result of a compromised X account, and the resulting investigation has resulted in my X account being permanently suspended. This puts a big hole in my ability to promote #FujiNet.
A little polish on the ls shell builtin. It now shows sizes of files.
My #CommodoreAmiga running DKBTrace. CHESS.DAT (Ville Sari, March 1991), scene took two days to render on my 7.14MHz 68000 based Amiga 1000. Rendered as HAM6 320x400. #raytracing #pixelart #retrocomputing
Multitasking and #commodoreAmiga. It brought a workstation environment into the personal computing realm. DKBTrace doing a #raytrace while painting a picture in Aegis images. Workbench in the back. #retrocomputing #pixelart
I have no idea where I fit. My co-workers and I don't relate whatsoever. The people who attend my talks never engage beyond the most basic of questions. Academics disengage with me the moment they learn I don't have a degree.
Chuck Norris is dead. Yet still making commercials.
This song randomly pops in my head, both the original, and this cover. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqrQ...

Oh, it's brilliant. Did you see the Amiga narrator one? There is a Steamed Hams for every occasion.
good lord, Steamed Hams, but it's a Critically Acclaimed Feature Film...Seeing Steamed Hams framed as "My Dinner With Andre" has to be peak meme creation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk-O...

I need a tiny zen sand garden for my desk, with a rake; with the sand made out of crushed Xanax and Haldol.
"lily1.dat" rendered in DKBTrace 2.12, in HAM6 mode on a #CommodoreAmiga 1000. #raytracing #retrocomputing. Render time: 22 hours.
The 12" mix of this song left a profound first impression. The video made another one. Cabaret Voltaire "Sensoria (7" Mix)" (1984) www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2vC...

Boards of Canada - "Olson" (Music has a Right to Children) (1998) Rendered on #Atari8bit #pokey #chiptune ROM: github.com/tschak909/ol... GitHub: github.com/tschak909/ol...
I just transcribed boards of Canada's "Olson" in #C, playing back on an #Atari8bit #pokey, writing my own score and player. Meanwhile my day job has me doing support and code cleanup. I do not feel valued whatsoever.
Our society places peak achievement on being able to sell yourself, in order to sell products for someone else. Even though I have grown up understanding this intrinsically; It still breaks my heart.
#FujiNet Patreon donations go towards artifacts like FujiNet Go Desktop, combining Fujinet+emulator in one desktop app for #linux (#gnome and #kde!) #windows or #macos: github.com/FujiNetWIFI/... Patreon: patreon.com/fujinet
If anyone needs a #CommodoreAmiga IFF ILBM image viewer for their #Wayland desktop (I use #Hyprland), I put one together as a nice self-contained #C application. It also has #nautilus and #XDG integration. github.com/tschak909/il...
