New inputs, halftrue as ever. Das mit den Mythen in Tüten hört - glaub ich - nie auf Chris LNGR hatte einen Link: Patrick Naughton: The Long Strange Trip to Java Ich hab böse kommentiert ....nicht gegen Chris natürlich, gegen den Autor des Artikels dort. Die richtige Begründung für die coolness und den Erfolg von Java steht hier. Thx Hannes. CT hatte im Heft wieder...

What a PANC is

StefanL, 27.06.02, 11:51

A PANC is an electric computing device that is Personal & Programmable Affordable & Accessible Networkable & Nonfictional It should be usable too, but that is trivial nowadays. Examples: - Xerox Alto: not accessible and not affordable - Apple II: networkability not that good, all else ok - Commodore PET: networkability not that good, all else ok - Commodore 64: networkability not that good, affordability very good - XEROX Star:...

Retrocomputing

StefanL, 01.12.01, 22:05

As people who know me might guess I like retrocomputing. You can get pretty crazy about this like people who put a VAX in their bathroom and heat up their flat with it. I always thought of getting my C64s up or my last left CP/M computer (TA) but then I didn't do it and actually it makes little sense...

CP/M and DOS

StefanL, 28.11.01, 13:47

CP/M, as many people know, was written by Gary Kildall and based on his earlier microcomputer work, GK had done, namely PL/M. CP/M denotes Control Program for Microcomputers, PL/M denotes Programming Language for Microcomputers. The best story I know - about him, CP/M and his company Digital Research - is here. CP/M86, which everybody thought to become the standard OS for...

Working forward through PC history

StefanL, 26.11.01, 16:45

Hopefully I'll be back to now (2001, the year of the space odyssey) soon. While surfing around a bit othis afternoon, I found a very nice page that holds images of Interface Prototype Sketches for the Apple LISA. These pieces are all out there, but often not linked from any easily accessible place and man, more than you can ever read...

StefanL, 27.08.01, 19:24

Looking back is not a goal on its own but a way of connecting snippets into a meaningful chain. The meaningful chain allows for the right conclusions && for the right actions.

Third Bubble [deprecated], 1st snippet

StefanL, 27.08.01, 09:29

No writing on Friday, still lost in balls of mud. No writing on sat and sun, if i can i don't touch this hellish machine on WEs. Took me 7 years and a heavy breakdown to learn it. Move your hands and feet, people! The third bubble is all about losing the empire and really doing so. I was inspired to that...
