In the 1970s, I ran one of these beauties: an IBM Mag Card Typewriter System. Basically an IBM Selectric typewriter connected to a console into which you inserted a magnetic card the size of a paper punch card. Held 50 lines of type per card.

@KyleMitBTV @tesselproject @DKundel @CascadiaJS @Espruino @particle @nodebots @neonious @twilio It seems so, unfortunately. Slack is there but no messages. I still have a Tessel that has been running nicely for years now. However the Node version was updated to 6 at least I think.

@tesselproject @DKundel @CascadiaJS @Espruino @particle @nodebots @neonious @twilio Is this project still live? Last tweet ... 2019 Last blog post ... 2018 Node Version ... 4 (2015) StackOverflow Posts ... 7 Slack ... down Forums ... down 🪦🪦🪦

@orbeon Good news. is there still the possibility to listen to the events on each uploaded file? "Start", "done" "cancel"
