| _stink_ | cmaloney: you have any ideas of what you'd like to try writing? | 03:05 |
| cmaloney | Not sure | 03:10 |
| cmaloney | I'm more just reading along with the book right now | 03:10 |
| cmaloney | although I want to get into playing a bit with player missile graphics on the Atari | 03:11 |
| cmaloney | that's 10 y/o me talking | 03:11 |
| cmaloney | Wanting to be Chris Crawford | 03:11 |
| _stink_ | hah, awesome | 03:13 |
| _stink_ | this book is actually funny. | 03:17 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, it's a really good book | 03:20 |
| cmaloney | Will be tackling the assemblers chapter tomorrow | 03:20 |
| _stink_ | cool, i'll zip through the monitor chapter tonight | 03:23 |
| _stink_ | riding your coattails | 03:23 |
| cmaloney | heh | 03:23 |
| cmaloney | Thank you. :) | 03:23 |
| _stink_ | i really wanted you to pick lisp | 03:24 |

| jrwren | awe yeah... first time crossing 11000KB/s since moving inet from 100Mbit nic to 1Gbit nic | 03:38 |
| jrwren | i guess that is technically only 90Mbit... but still faster than I've ever seen. | 03:39 |
| jrwren | oh! and that rate isn't even counting the amazon prime video I'm watching ;] | 03:43 |
| jrwren | retro peeps: how much data fit onto a 20min, 30min, 60min, 90min audio cassette when the cassette was used to store data on a C64 or Atari system? | 04:16 |
| jrwren | really, i just mean cmaloney. ;] | 04:16 |
| cmaloney | I have NFC | 04:18 |
| cmaloney | my Atari 400 was goofed up. :) | 04:19 |
| cmaloney | iirc though it was similar to a Teletype in how it stored data. | 04:19 |
| cmaloney | http://www.atariarchives.org/dere/chaptC.php | 04:20 |
| cmaloney | 600 baud | 04:20 |
| jrwren | yeah, I knew it was a modem. but HOW MUCH?!?! | 04:22 |
| jrwren | I must find out! | 04:22 |
| jrwren | i cannot sleep now. | 04:22 |
| jrwren | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478120 2MB! | 04:24 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, not a whole lot. :) | 04:24 |
| cmaloney | worse: C90 and C120 are pretty much useless for data | 04:25 |
| jrwren | i vaguely recall that. | 04:25 |
| jrwren | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Cassette#Data_recording oh! great article | 04:26 |
| jrwren | and it says EVEN WORSE! 660KB / side of a 90min tape | 04:27 |
| jrwren | ok, I can sleep now. | 04:27 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, because they're not taking data frame markers into account | 04:27 |
| cmaloney | and checksums | 04:27 |
| cmaloney | also depends on baud | 04:27 |
| jrwren | yup | 04:27 |
| jrwren | these days, i wonder what you could do. | 04:28 |
| cmaloney | Apparently the Atari was hamstrung on the SIO bus because of the FCC regs in place | 04:28 |
| cmaloney | which was why you couldn't get true 19.2 kbps out of it | 04:28 |
| jrwren | qam256, error correction and maybe you could fit a few CDs worth of mp3 onto a cassette ;] | 04:28 |
| cmaloney | even though it theoretically could do that | 04:28 |
| jrwren | ok, enough. good night ;] | 04:28 |
| cmaloney | l8r | 04:28 |
| cmaloney | DCC | 04:28 |
| cmaloney | Also: Adam cassettes. ;) | 04:29 |

| cmaloney | morning | 10:04 |
| rick_h_ | morning | 11:20 |
| _stink_ | cmaloney: did you grab a better assembler for linapple? or just using the mini-assembler? | 17:00 |
| cmaloney | I grabbed Merlin | 17:01 |
| cmaloney | but had fun trying to create a "blank disk" | 17:01 |
| _stink_ | hah | 17:01 |
| _stink_ | any links or advice? | 17:01 |
| cmaloney | finally just grabbed a "demo" disk image | 17:01 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, one sec. | 17:01 |
| cmaloney | https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dlmwmyh5qc2pn6g/AAAeXbQ-3RoEMgIRZwZg2GTCa?dl=0 | 17:05 |
| cmaloney | if you want a few minutes a manual might show up in there | 17:05 |
| _stink_ | awesome, thanks! | 17:05 |
| cmaloney | np | 17:05 |
| _stink_ | cmaloney: i mount demo.dsk, then ctrl-shift-f2, yes? | 20:40 |
| greg-g | performance reviews... they're good but draining | 20:45 |
| greg-g | (writing them, that is, as a manager) | 20:46 |
| cmaloney | _stink_: You'll want to use f4 to put demo.dsk on the second drive | 20:48 |
| cmaloney | and f3 to put Merlin on drive 1 | 20:48 |
| _stink_ | aha, beautiful. thanks | 20:54 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: :/ at the instagram | 22:35 |
| rick_h_ | been there... | 22:35 |
| rick_h_ | 'hi family, back from a sprint. ummm...why isthe wall blue?' | 22:35 |
| cmaloney | ? | 23:15 |
