I like old hardware and to start projects I'll never finish.
From Paris, with leaded solder.
The original ELIZA was described by Joseph Weizenbaum in Communications of the ACM in January 1966.
ELIZA was one of the first programs that attempted to communicate in natural language.
Send "Hello" to start, and "Bye" to finish

Thanks to oldbytes for letting me abuse their servers
THIS IS FOR FUN ONLY AND OF ZERO MEDICAL USE!
8-bit micros, especially the Speccy and the Beeb, but not prejudiced! Also occasional Linux, Raspberry Pi and Arduino stuff.

I move bits around so that, in turn, they move some other bits around themselves.

I'm just an idiot. Far too much politics, not enough furry stuff and goofery, working on a balance.
Migrated from @nini, eggbug forever!
Vintage computer enthusiast, Linux sysadmin, A/V nerd. Fan of the #Demoscene. Get the damn batteries out!
Works with new computers and plays with old ones. Digs point & click adventures and melodic metal. Fixes old computers wherever possible. Never trust a computer you can't reach over and turn off. Gaming on easy mode is still gaming!

The Future was 8bit, and still is in my house.. C64p, SD2IEC, Penultimate+ Cart, divMMC Future, all sorts. VIC20's rulez. Commodore, Sinclair, BBC, Oric, Dragon
Like a lot of us, I'm new to Mastodon.. So I'm still learning!

No stock photos, SEO, marketing, clickbait, ads, or calls to action. I Just enjoy sharing my geeky interests.
Synths, retrocomputing, space, books.

Norwegian guy into old computers and sound gear. Commodore, ancient PCs, Tandberg and tube amps. I love to solder (might be the fumes). Plus: Comics, Sci-fi, TTRPGs, vintage watches, heavy metal, electronica, classy pop. Bookworm.
TLDR; I sport, code, make stuff, and play adventure games.

My internet claim to fame was livetweeting the Fukushima reactor failures on the Birdsite. I'm pretty chipper for one spending so much time looking at sad melty reactors and sad creaky software.
