Wanna know what the new thing that's sweeping the rural Western school one of my kids attends? It's bad enough that the administration is blocking websites where you can learn about it. Can you guess what scourge is disrupting the academic lives of all these young people?

It's chess...

@SecularJeffrey not mine but I think of it often.

Finding some weird stuff in the garage... Like this Fujitsu COBOL cd for Win95, NT and 3.11. #cobol #programming #retrocomputing

Sci-fi plot: Aliens need carbon. They seed planets with life which concentrates carbon in the atmosphere. Later they come to collect... #scifi

I'd rather keep my head, if it's all the same. 😂

What am I going to make for dinner? I have to feed three teenagers my wife and myself. I'm totally out of ideas (it seems like I cook the same things over and over). Any suggestions appreciated! #cooking #food #dinner #question

I'm cleaning out my office and I found a 30 year old roll of Plus X. I have no idea what's on it. I wonder if I get it developed if there would still be images there? #photography #film

So, I went to #appleii and asked them to talk me out of buying an apple iigs. They didn't try very hard, in fact they did the opposite. Anyway, check out my new system! It's a ROM 01 iigs with a 2mb memory card. I added a microdrive turbo from ReactiveMicro and I just got it booting into GS/OS 6.01. Next step is digging up a serial cable so I can hook up my RS232 wifi modem and see if I can't find some cool BBSs. #retrocomputing #apple2 #retrocomputer #appleiigs

Hey Commodore people. I've been playing around with machine language on my sweet C64 laptop but I'm getting tired of POKEing my programs into memory. Is there a macro assembler that you like? I'm partial to cartridges but disk is ok too. Thanks! #question #c64 #retrocomputing

Are you interested in the Agon Light system but didn't grow up on Z80 BBC Basic? You're in luck! The old Acorn Z80 Basic manual is available over at the Internet Archive! #AgonLight #retrocomputing #Z80 #basic
