Without meaning to, I’ve broken into full-on computer nostalgia this week.  Don’t know how it happened, but at least the links are interesting.

• Tiling by squares.  I hope you like math.  (via)
• “whatever it is, it’s already over“, which led me to “The planned unplanned outage“.
• The NMFECC Cray Time-Sharing System (1985) [pdf]  (via)
• Programming Languages in 2014.  (via)
• A history of the Amiga – The demo scene (2013)  (via)  The links in the source article are best.
• 8088 MPH: We Break All Your Emulators.  (via)
• BeOS Demo Video (1998)  (via)  I miss BeOS.
• The Full History of Board Games.  (via)
• Turning the Arduino Uno into an Apple II.  (via)  Notes how awesome the 6502 processor was.
• The Apple ][ Watch.  Holy crap, this is cool.  It wouldn’t be easy to duplicate, but so very worth doing.  (via)
• An object of infinite length but finite volume.  (via)
• Modern alternatives to PuTTY?
• Dealing with key-based authentication on Windows with Putty
• How the Computer Got Its Revenge on the Soviet Union.  The source for this story has more interesting link material.
• Can someone explain containers to me?
• Glass Hands (Violent Motion, 2).  “(I’m still holding out for a director’s cut of Iron Man where Tony Stark struggles for an hour to place a screen protector on his faceplate without trapping any dust under the plastic, but I’m not holding my breath.)“
• What Part of “No, Totally” Don’t You Understand?  For the readers that don’t have English as their first language.  Or maybe those that do.  (via)
• The Task Continuity Model.  Incidentally describes my method of building up articles for this very Digest.  (via)

Your unrelated tea link of the week: The man who drank too much iced tea.  He wasn’t drinking that much, which makes me a bit worried about my own hot tea consumption.  (via)

Your unrelated psychedelic rock video of the week: Lightning Bolt’s The Metal East.  If you find the art interesting, start looking for Fort Thunder comics.  (via)
