Drunken mages engaging in a magical fight while trying not to spill drinks... Now that’s literature! #NaNoWriMo
395 words is not how I wanted day 1 of #NaNoWriMo to go.
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...

After finally figuring out some direct video access, I've posted my modifications to Lua (based on 5.3.5) for the #rainbow 100 computer.
Most interesting is probably the Rainbow-specific library that is compiled in by default:

Episode 81 of the Jeff Reads His Book #podcast is out now! There's a sandwich in this episode! I feel like that was a major theme in Bringing Balance. There were a lot of magic sandwiches in that book...

My 8088-powered #Rainbow running MS-DOS feels orders of magnitude faster than the i5-powered Mac running Catalina sitting next to it...
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."
