[02:17] <_stink_> cmaloney: you get anyone toj oin in your june of learning?
[02:32] <cmaloney> Other than JoDee> Not really.
[02:33] <cmaloney> posting my first blog post about it.
[02:37] <cmaloney> http://decafbad.net/2016/06/02/learning-challenge---6502-assembly:-days-1-2/
[02:49] <_stink_> awesome!
[02:50] <_stink_> may join you.
[02:50] <cmaloney> Feel free. We can spur each other on. :)
[02:52] <mrgoodcat> how often will you post?
[02:59] <cmaloney> Ideally daily
[02:59] <cmaloney> http://zenhabits.net/challenge/
[03:05] <_stink_> cmaloney: you have any ideas of what you'd like to try writing?
[03:10] <cmaloney> Not sure
[03:10] <cmaloney> I'm more just reading along with the book right now
[03:11] <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
[03:13] <_stink_> hah, awesome
[03:17] <_stink_> this book is actually funny.
[03:20] <cmaloney> Yeah, it's a really good book
[03:20] <cmaloney> Will be tackling the assemblers chapter tomorrow
[03:23] <_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. :)
[03:24] <_stink_> i really wanted you to pick lisp
[03:24] <_stink_> but
[03:24] <_stink_> i will survive
[03:24] <cmaloney> hah
[03:24] <cmaloney> Next month

[03:38] <jrwren> awe yeah... first time crossing 11000KB/s since moving inet from 100Mbit nic to 1Gbit nic
[03:39] <jrwren> i guess that is technically only 90Mbit... but still faster than I've ever seen.
[03:43] <jrwren> oh! and that rate isn't even counting the amazon prime video I'm watching ;]
[04:16] <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. ;]
[04:18] <cmaloney> I have NFC
[04:19] <cmaloney> my Atari 400 was goofed up. :)
[04:19] <cmaloney> iirc though it was similar to a Teletype in how it stored data.
[04:20] <cmaloney> http://www.atariarchives.org/dere/chaptC.php
[04:20] <cmaloney> 600 baud
[04:22] <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.
[04:24] <jrwren> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1478120  2MB!
[04:24] <cmaloney> Yeah, not a whole lot. :)
[04:25] <cmaloney> worse: C90 and C120 are pretty much useless for data
[04:25] <jrwren> i vaguely recall that.
[04:26] <jrwren> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Cassette#Data_recording  oh! great article
[04:27] <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
[04:28] <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
[04:29] <cmaloney> Also: Adam cassettes. ;)

[10:04] <cmaloney> morning
[11:20] <rick_h_> morning
[17:00] <_stink_> cmaloney: did you grab a better assembler for linapple?  or just using the mini-assembler?
[17:01] <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.
[17:05] <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
[20:40] <_stink_> cmaloney: i mount demo.dsk, then ctrl-shift-f2, yes?
[20:45] <greg-g> performance reviews... they're good but draining
[20:46] <greg-g> (writing them, that is, as a manager)
[20:48] <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
[20:54] <_stink_> aha, beautiful.  thanks
[22:35] <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?'
[23:15] <cmaloney> ?
