Notes

I never noticed this Mac Plus on Seinfeld before

By this season (S5) Jerry's apartment had replaced his SE/30 with a PowerBook Duo Dock (and later a TAM)

Ten years ago today I "pooped out a better version of HN in [my] spare time" as @tqbf@twitter.com eloquently put it

It didn't really mature into the thing I hoped it would and I don't use it much anymore, but I'm happy some people are still finding it a nice place to be

Heads up junior developers - hacking on SerenityOS and writing C on a 36-year old computer are really hot right now

Some extra screen real estate might be helpful here...

How to connect to OpenBSD developers

Dolch used this rad teal color in their logo and accents on their machines

The keyboard on the PAC 586 is from a ThinkPad, but the alt function labels, TrackPoint buttons, and "cat's tongue" cap are teal instead of gray or red

Even the motherboard jumpers are teal

It's a 935 kind of day

I added DaynaPORT SCSI/Link network device emulation to the PCE emulator so it can use the internet just like my real Mac Pluses (which have real DaynaPORT SCSI/Link-3s)

"Specifically, dev/pci/drm/amd contains 3.33M lines and 273.93M bytes. 71% of the OpenBSD kernel by size is support for modern (and semi-modern) Radeon graphics."

Yeah printf debugging is cool but what about
1. change one line of code
2. compile app
3. upload to App Store Connect
4. wait for it to process and become available in TestFlight
5. install on phone and watch from TestFlight
6. test change, goto 1
Now on the 8th iteration today

I cut some vinyl stickers for it

My wife bought a giant iPod shuffle
