Some of the links this week go pretty in-depth.  Enjoy!

• This short story from 1954 might serve as a reason to avoid single system image computing… (via Sascha Wildner)
• Vim and Ctags tips and tricks.  (via)
• Psygnosis game box designs.  Nostalgia for some, neat art for anyone else.  (via)
• 50 years of ASCII, and here’s the table it comes from.  Some other neat links there, too.  (via)
• Richard Feynman and The Connection Machine.  If you like stories about Feynman, who was a very interesting person, you may want to read Feynman, the comic book.  I met the writer, Jim Ottaviani, years ago, and he was very energetic about both science and comics.  Look up his other work if that sounds interesting – which it should.  Here’s a sample from the Feynman book.  (via)

• Back to the Future: Preserving the History of Video Games.  This is right around the corner from me.  The game museum is as neat as it sounds (yes, they have games out to play), but the article doesn’t mention that it’s attached to a fantastic and huge kid’s museum.

• Building a Cray at home.  Similar to this previously-linked idea.  (via)

Your unrelated link(s) of the week: Candy Box and A Dark Room.  Both are text-only games, but they use HTML5 for animation.  They start minimal, and build up – be patient; there’s a lot of gameplay in there.  These minimal  games fascinate me.  It’s like reading a book, where it goes from just static text to an entire world being built.  (somewhat via)

Your bonus unrelated comics link of the week: Jack Kirby double-page spreads.  It’s not an exaggeration to say this artwork crackles.  (via I forget)
