My claim to fame ..I went to the same high school as Kyle.

I never met him .. He graduated a couple years before me.

But I did see Dune in Yakima! He wasn't there either.

I visited Twin Peaks .. or Snoqualmie Falls/North Bend. He wasn't there either.

WHY haven't I ever got to meet you!?!?!

Visions of a Spice Opera.

📺: Dune, Cryo Interactive, 1992
A crt screenie of a towering defence turret shown in profile against a gradient purple sky. A shot of Cryo's vision of a subterranean Fremen sietch with stairs spiralling around brown rocky pillars. Cryo's version of Paul Atreides (very much inspired by the 1984 movie's Kyle Mac Lachlan) seen from the front and head and shoulders perspective against dune sands and gradient blue sky A pool of subterranean water, gathered by windtraps on the surface

Ugh, I'm trying to edit a video while feeling slightly trashy. I got my COVID-19 and Flu shots yesterday, and I think they are catching up with me.

A little hurt now is 100000x better than getting full blown versions of either later.

Time to make some spicy ramen! That always helps!

I'm an old fart .. but I remember the first game I purchased and played on the Commodore 64 was Jumpman! It wasn't even when I first purchased my C64 .. about a month later when I purchased my 1541 drive.

Do you remember the first game you ever played on the C64?

ZORK ... Zork II to be exact .. it was the first game I ever played .. in a college campus class room, when I was supposed to be programming in BASIC .. on an Apple IIe.

A most awesome computer!

I remember my A500 .. sat on TOP of these expansion case in which I could place two A2000 cards. One was 2MB of memory, the other was a SCSI controller with a 30MB hard drive!

That decade, from 5.25 floppies to 3.5" then to a 5.25 hard drive in a span of 5 years.

Retro: Setting up a BBS Using Raspberry Pi Zero 2 and Mystic
In the mid to late 90s, I ran a BBS on a Commodore Amiga 1200.  It started with 2 disk drives, and I eventually saved enough cash to get an IDE hard drive with a massive 520MB of storage. People from around the world would connect to that BBS on a single 36k modem.  About 80 registered users would dial into that BBS on a dedicated phoneline. I ran a Fidonet node that let user of the BBS send electronic messages globally.  This was before email and widespread internet access was available. Users would upload games, utilities, and public domain software.   There were no adverts. User data was not sold or analysed. There was no manufactured outrage. No algorithm to game. No Likes. Thumbs Up. Impressions or other vanity metrics. It ran on an isolated machine.     Screens were designed using ANSI graphics and menu navigation was simple. In this blog post, I document how to setup a BBS in 2024.  You will see how to use a budget Raspberry Pi, free software and services

A minor update to my roguelike - you can now bask in the glow of the dungeon entrance. (but you can't leave, there are ogres outside)
A screenshot of an ascii-graphics roguelike. The adventurer stands in a shaft of light cast by the dungeon entrance - a yellow triangle.

Though always nice to buy them a coffee for all their hard work!

These people still making solid games for the C64 just amaze me!

Going through someone's old saves on our copy of Buck Rogers for Mega Drive and came across these champs, stars of a Red Dwarf-alike space comedy.

Loving the father and son Al duo.
