Gluten free is easier when dairy and eggs are allowed.

Moment of truth… did developing film with coffee work?

Terrible scanning job on a flatbed scanner using an iPad as the backlight. But here we are. Coffee-developed photos. 📸

I mean, it’s not *good*, but that worked! I didn’t have vitamin C, which most recipes called for. Huh!

Hello, old friend. It’s been a very long time since I’ve put 35mm film through a 35mm camera.

Flash cubes! 📸

And there was some vague talk of PageMaker and doing my work on an old machine.

So here’s PageMaker 1.2 running over LocalTalk on a Mac 512.

512k ram. 400k floppy drive. No hard drive.

Oooof, just saw the first Apple //c monitor I've seen for sale in a while. £130 + £40 shipping from Egypt, and doesn't have the stand >.<

@mac84tv I tried out a fair few a while back and eventually settled on Ivory. It gives a pretty decent experience across both iOS and Mac, too.

@thomasfuchs @amyhoy !!!! That's spectacular!

Beeps and boops.

Speaking of having computers run the wrong operating system… think we can get a Mac SE from 1987 to emulate a PC? #RetroComputing

Feels like a nice evening to have computers running the wrong operating systems. #hackintosh #dell

The answer is yes! An 8mhz processor and 4mb of RAM is more than enough to support emulation. And it’s every bit as zippy as you could dream 🥰 #RetroComputing

I’m even running it from the server over LocalTalk for added bonus slowness. #LiveLaughLocalTalk

My first GWBASIC program was not a success. Warning: horrible beeping sound ⚠️

There’s an eBay listing for 52 old Macs as one job lot in Illinois. It’s kind of intense. I hope it all finds a good home! #RetroComputing https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276078935767
