Rupert Lane reconstructed the code of Joseph Weizenbaum's Online Programming Language (OPL).Based on a printout of source code found among Weizenbaum's papers archived by MIT Libraries, I have reconstructed the language so it can live again for the first time in nearly sixty years on a IBM 7094 emulator running CTSS.https://timereshared.com/reconstructing-joseph-weizenbaums-opl#eliza #ProgLang #retrocomputing

Been playing Sim City 2000 the past few days. Such a refreshing experience. No gigabytes of updates to download before I can play. No ads for other games to click through.

https://linktr.ee/quazarsamcoupeA quick post to my new LinkTree for links to everything #retrocomputing I do - my main website for all my SAM Coupe development, the two smaller sites for ZX Spectrum hardware and peripherals for RC2014 & compatibles. My other social media accounts and my Tindie and eBay stores.#samcoupe #zxspectrum #rc2014 #retrogaming #demoscene #indiedev #gamedev #z80

Jay Hoffmann @Jayhoffmann on the origins of permalinks for blog posts. Decades later some sites with blog or news items still don't provide permalinks.https://thehistoryoftheweb.com/did-you-want-that-link-to-be-permanent#blogging #web #retrocomputing
@dianea She was also the one who would pick if the printer and SB card would attempt to share IRQ7 and cause conflicts, or be more reasonable and kick the SB to IRQ5.
@skyfaller @TheLancashireman sometimes updated in debian stable fix bugs that aren't security bugs but functional ones, so maybe it can be worth connecting it to the internet yourself now and then for updates?or maybe only if those bugs are actually relevant
