More specifically, I despise my #NeXT cube, and my patience for my #Atari TT030 has basically run out. Also, the power supply on this big, 'ol VAX 4000 is screwed up and the #Alpha is just useless. I feel like putting them all on the curb would make me happier.
And no, you can't have them for free...
I inquired about a used, first-run, caseless #firebee #atari clone on a forum that was for sale. USD 550 seems a bit steep, basically their price new, but the forum wouldn't allow me to reply anyway, so I couldn't tell him/her "no."
I have to keep reminding myself to stay away from the #atari stuff. I'm not a fan of a large portion of the "community."
Some thoughts on my #Atari TT030

On a whim, I tried popping my old Bt848 PCI capture card in my semi-modern i5 desktop. Lovely to see that it still works! #atari
Damn cool demo of an #atari Hotz system:
Well, CMake didn’t even configure on the #atari, so it is losing its spot on the desk for a while. Back to storage!
The only reason I'm trying to build CMake (which I despise) on my #atari was so that I could build json-c on my #atari so that I might try building the nanotodon Mastodon client on my #atari.
If all that worked, a GEM Mastodon client based on nanotodon would be neat to try, but I'm not even close at this point.
I'm trying to build CMake on the #atari TT030 overnight, and I'm not hopeful. I've had nothing work on it lately (broken GNU Fortran, problems building IRC clients, a freakin' mess of a network config, etc.), so I'm probably going to break it down and throw it back in the closet when this inevitably fails too.
Once I forget about these problems in a year or two, maybe it'll get some precious desk space again.
But CMake might build...
Fixed a minor, irritating drawing issue on my silly #atari Worm game that caused the left and bottom of the window to draw blank. Not ideal, but better.
Also, I'm mirroring the repo locally too!
