[01:14] Two of my presentations were accepted for Penguicon [01:14] Woo woo! [01:15] And the release party is also on for Penguicon [01:17] \o/ [01:24] nice!! [01:24] congrats on the presentations [01:24] THank you. :) [01:25] What presentations are you doing? [01:26] INtroduction to debugging in Python [01:26] and The Rise and Sudden Fall of the Jupiter ACE Computer [01:28] ah cool [01:29] Yeah, wanted to do something a little more technical this year. [01:29] Plus the Intro to Debugging in Python could also be presented at PyOhio [03:01] nice cmaloney! [03:04] rick_h: Thank you [03:19] wtf is teh jupiter ace? [03:20] heh, more a shooting star I guess [03:25] jrwren: It's a micro computer that ran Forth natively [03:25] done by two ex Sinclair employees [03:27] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_Ace [03:27] ah! i wiki'd it. i was going to say, looks like a sinclair [03:27] It's exceptionally rare. They made 8,000 units of the ACE and around 500 of the follow-up 4000 [03:28] sorry, 800 units of the 4000 [03:29] I remember seeng adverts for it in magazines and it fascinated me [03:29] but of course I never picked one up [03:39] my old man came home with a sinclair from a garage sale... must have been '86, so I played with it a bit, but it was weak compared to the 800XL with which I was accustomed and with no docs... i was pretty stuck. [03:40] sometime in '87 got the Amiga 1000 used, and that ended my time with 8bit ;) [03:43] heh [03:43] Yeah, the Sinclair was definitely underpowered [03:43] especially the ZX 80 / 81 [03:43] the Spectrum is a little better, but still quirky [03:44] And yeah, the Amiga was the true successor to the Atari 800 [03:45] Jay Miner / Joe Decuir are two of my heroes for what they eeked out of silicon [03:48] But sadly Chris Crawford's prediction that the Macintosh would do to Amiga what the Apple II did to the Atari 8-bit came true [03:50] It didn't help that Commodore couldn't find a CEO quite like Jack Tramiel. It also didn't help that they hired a charlatan in Mehdi Ali [04:18] yeah, commodore really messed it up. [15:27] Good day [19:31] it's not bad. :) [19:32] some jerk's left their crap in the washing machine so i can't get my stuff started. >_< [19:47] take it out and throw it on teh floor. :) [20:03] i'm about ready to [20:03] the people in this building are a bunch of jerks [20:04] at least Chelsea won and the wings are ahead 1-0. [23:07] oh crap [23:07] a [23:07] band has moved into the garage across the street [23:07] lol, drums, guitar, and some poorly played green day [23:16] \m/ [23:16] now you gotta join, with your guitar.
