Look what I just found in a desk drawer. Not as old as it looks, there's a 2007/2008 calendar in the back. Still, too pretty for someone with handwriting like me to be writing in.
Got some help for the heavy lifting, and finally found a home for the Apple //c.
Now what to do about all these desk drawers full of stuff sitting on my bed....
Woo! My MMJ connectors arrived! I replaced the one I "made" on the back of the #VT320 with the real thing. No longer will I have to be concerned about it pulling out due to a lack of a locking tab. If anyone else needs any I'd be happy to share my source.
Are you lazy like me? Open up a text editor with the hashtags for tonight's movie and stick it at the bottom of the screen where it wont interfere with the pinned hashtag or your toot box. Make the editor window Always On Top. You can copy and paste the hashtags, and more specifically when you inevitably accidentally copy something else to the clipboard, it's easy to get it back. (I had this problem last month).
Two quick photos before I turn the accursed lights off and enjoy the sweet darkness.
Behold! The #BattleStation, complete with a nice #VT320 dumb terminal.
I remember way back when my Dad still worked with DEC dumb terminals on a daily basis (and thus VAXen), that they had similar stickers for the front of the key caps for some applications.
I'd be more interested in these VIM stickers if they were designed for the front of the key caps instead of the top (as I'd put them on my terminal keyboard). But modern keyboards aren't built in a way that something like that would be feasible, thus it doesn't likely exist.
I've got to run off for a bit, but the offending characters are in here somewhere, based on what does and does not display on the screen.
My next step is to shut down the console and start feeding the escape sequences to it manually until I reproduce the problem.
Nerd. Radio amateur. Cranky old man. Reformed QBasic addict.
I like to play with computers. I tend to be my own sysadmin. I tinker with electronics. I've been known to use Amateur Radio, and once worked in two-way radio as an occupation. If it has the Motorola name on it, I'd love to collect it. One of my favorite things to do is automate something or make two things work together. Often this involves writing code.
My carousel of interest spins onward, but always revolves around technology.
