@gloriouscow I only got internet access in early '96, and by then I already had Windows 95. I did see Trumpet at a friend a few months earlier, but never used it personally.
@jernej__s before Trumpet Winsock we were all just sitting around on our butts in text mode terminal emulators using Lynx to read gopher sites about trains

okay hold the fuck up
Peter Tattam, the author of Trumpet Winsock, has a SOUNDCLOUD
and you can listen to him PLAYING THE TRUMPET
@gloriouscow ROTFL we need to play that on @underscore

@vampiress i could see that if they had the 25Mhz version and didn't install any L2 cache. otherwise a 486 should run circles around a 386.

@gloriouscow Sorry, I went with OS/2 Warp! instead.

@christopherkunz and don't forget mIRC
@gloriouscow Ohhhh, mIRC! Used the heck out of that until I switched to irssi on a bouncer somewhere. Good times!
I wonder what's going on in IRCNet nowadays... -

@ra6bit I was only vaguely aware of OS/2 at the time
I just assumed it was Businessy Software

@christopherkunz the latest thing is just a group called SuperNETS being racist with botnets instead of doing anything clever

@gloriouscow For some reason I thought Peter Tattam passed away a few years ago... guess not :o.
Anyways, Trumpet Winsock is weird to me- you start it as a DOS TSR and afterwords it "does the right thing" once you start Win 3.x without Windows destroying its data structures. I wonder how that's managed (if I had infinite time, I'd disassemble it to find out)?

@cr1901 Hm, looks like there was an earlier "Trumpet TCP" that was a TSR. I don't recall a TSR element to Trumpet Winsock, but I could be wrong.

@gloriouscow My memory isn't infallible (as much as I wish it was). I would need to look at files I haven't touched in 15 years to check, but I still have them.
IIRC, I ran Trumpet in a HAL-9000 build of DOSBOX w/ NE2000 and Win 3.x (I know that's not supported, but I didn't care at the time lmao). And to get Trumpet to work, I had to start a TSR before starting Win 3.x.

Wikipedia is telling me that Trumpet Winsock 1.0A was released in February of 1994. Windows 95 came out in late August of 1995.
18 months. I would have sworn I spent years exploring the internet on Windows 3.1. Memory is a funny thing.
@gloriouscow neural years

@gloriouscow WAIT. Is it called Trumpet Winsock because he played a trumpet back then, or did he start playing the trumpet AFTER Winsock?

@gnomon@mastodon I'd already seen this and shared it IMMEDIATELY with my online gaming friends.
I forgot I'm the oldest one. 😮💨

ok that's a new one. the documentation section of the SVN project page tells you to go buy a manual (or consult an out dated excessively verbose online book)
https://subversion.apache.org/docs/i thought ok maybe they're just selling books to fund the project~~NO the "purchase" link just points to i shit you not a google search for "site:amazon.com Subversion version control"

A brevissimo apriamo le iscrizioni per Cotoletta8Bit.
Evento gratuito a NABA Milano, con oltre 80 giochi indie, un sacco di talk, occasioni di incontro e tantissimo altro, tutto pensato per rendere al meglio questa terza festa dell'indie gaming milanese ❤️
E lasciatemi aggiungere che sono doppiamente orgoglioso perché ormai l'evento è quasi interamente portato avanti da dei miei ex tesisti, bravissimi, a cui io mi limito a dare un po' di supporto

@Gina
I thought for a moment there that you were referring to the recent sighting of sunshine over Amsterdam.

@feorag @cstross flashbacks of train toilets where you would see the tracks through the hole… terrifying as a young kid 🤣

Demos without strong accents, that is sharp enough to see the screen, and slow enough to be able to catch where the pointer goes, without extrainious pointer moves, the pointer equivalent of ums, er's, and uh'a.
Bonus points for chapters and time indexes.

@feorag (was a super-modern, 300kph train) Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ewZFQIq9As about the composing system smell on SBB. Not exactly the right video.
