Advent of Computing

New episode! This time we are talking assembly language adventofcomputing.libsyn.com/episode-140-as…

Just saw that text search is back on @internetarchive ! Huge thanks to everyone over there for all the hard work!

@7r4p3z01d @CleverPodcast @amydevers I'll add that to my listening list. I know scant few details about Olivetti

Hi @adventofcomp! Check out this episode of the @CleverPodcast from the insightful @amydevers, Olivetti and the Race to Create the First Personal Computer: cleverpodcast.com/clever-confide…

I found the 6502 episode of the @adventofcomp podcast quite interesting: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/adv…

@romero Thanks John! The whole sage of MOS is such a wild story, I really enjoyed the chance to talk about it.

Like, seriously, request a PDF from whom?

I really love how some publishers are still trying to sell access to papers from the 1940s! On what planet does that makes sense!?

This one is about probably the strangest game I've yet to encounter.

I'm hitting the mountains this weekend, so I recorded a little earlier than usual. Here's the next episode up extra early for Patrons: patreon.com/posts/112026410

VCF spoils: a front panel for a Raytheon RDS500. Incidentally, does anyone have some docs on the machine?

@eu_magpie Zuse has been on my list for a while... I should probably make myself get to him

@adventofcomp thanks for your wonderful show! I can't express the amount of joy I get from listening to each episode. BTW will you please consider converting Konrad Zuse's work?

Who all is hitting up VCF West next week? And, would anyone be interested in an impromptu get together on Friday the 2nd after the fest closes for the day? Was thinking something like a group dinner over in Mountain View.

A video of the panel I ran at VCF SoCal was just posted! Check it out if you missed it. It's a discussion on the importance and struggles of preserving computer history. youtube.com/watch?v=f9V99m…

This episode I'm going back to a language I trash talked. I'm reassessing TRAC, perhaps one of the more unique languages I've ever learned. adventofcomputing.libsyn.com/episode-136-ge…

@nickshanks_ @vxunderground Yes! EZPZ!

@adventofcomp @vxunderground free((void *)0x0); Just to be safe.

Logging into Xitter and seeing thousands upon thousands of people, who have never written a single line of code their entire life and can barely use a computer, giving their expert input into kernel-mode programming

I'm issuing a challenge. Here's a processor for the TRAC programming language. Can anyone write Fizz Buzz in it? github.com/gmilmei/trac64

As you may have heard, I'm speaking at VCF West on August 2nd. Because of that my schedule is going to be a little weird for the next episode. My plan is to put together a mini-episode to hold the feed over. Maybe something on the Songs of IBM? idk. I'll try to make it weird.

@jimmyhmiller @bcantrill @ahl Am I being summoned?

@bcantrill @ahl I’d love to see a cross over with @adventofcomp Feels very on brand

Well, I think we know the subject for Monday's Oxide and Friends! Any thoughts on who @ahl and I should ask to have on as a guest?

@Paninodesu I might try, but I have my doubts that Gates would ever respond.

@adventofcomp Instead of coming up with plausible theories and effectively "rewriting history", did you ever tried to contact Bill Gates and ask for an interview so he could answer to all those "mysteries"? If he is still alive he can talk.
