Million Perfect Letters: a shifty word game for the Apple ][ archive.org/details/Millio… Thanks to الساحر, @antoine_vignau, xot for testing

@[email protected] الساحر @antoine_vignau xot I managed to complete the game! And I wrote a review: blog.reiterate.app/misc/2022/03/2…

I enjoy the fact that modern computers allow you to run many programs all at once. That is what makes possible the fun game of chance that arises from invoking a keyboard shortcut at a time when you were mistaken about which application was frontmost.

Ticketmaster emailed me today to alert me of forthcoming nearby tour stops for Dead Kennedys and Bauhaus. I'm somewhat astonished that Ticketmaster could know that 1980s me would have gone to those. But also: The past 35 years did actually happen, right?

Apparently I dozed off in the middle of posting this. Must sleep more.

Ordered a Macbook Air for delivery today. It's being delivered to me by Uber Eats. I guess it is an Apple, potentially algorithmically considered to be edible.

Oops we found 3 different versions of Sierra On-Line's 1982 release of Ultima II for Apple II. At least one of them seems unpreserved in any form. Yes they're all real. 😂

Hm. Listening back to this one, the editing is a bit bumpy on it. Little skips, and a few echoes I missed on my travel laptop. Oh well. Sorry about that, should be more normal next time.

The Twitter robots, scoring high on the artificial half but poorly on the intelligent half, have made an error locking @[email protected]'s account. If me tagging @TwitterSupport helps cause a less artificial and more intelligent look to be taken at this, then tag @TwitterSupport I shall.

Someone disassembled and recreated an Apple /// demo that I wrote in early 1980, the colorful "Running Horses" demo that was used as part of the launch. It used images originally created by Eadweard Muybridge in 1878. robjapple.blogspot.com/2020/05/apple-…

Greetings Mac Using #Apple ][ Enthusiasts. Good news is I've repackaged the Windows only CiderPress v4.1.0 to run on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. I've tested this on a 2017 i5-MBA, 2020 M1-Mini, and a 2022 M2-MBA all running Monterey. retrocomputingaustralia.com/rca-downloads/

For some reason, Sheldon’s mother is typing her novel on a Lisa keyboard. (S06E03) Kind of dirty, missing a key, and inexplicably connected to a PC it seems. Still, caught my attention.
