No theme, cause I’m nicely spread out this week over topics.
- Historical rediscovery: Zarf’s Old Time Religion search.
- The Shareware Scene series: Part 1: The Pioneers, Part 2: The Question of Games, and Part 3: The id Boys.
- Recruiter Spam. I am quite familiar with this. (via)
- The Adventurer-Dense to Adventurer-Sparse Spectrum: Vance to Tolkien. I have several Vance books out from the library I want to get through.
- Zork 1977 Source Code Released. Linking late to this cause I wanted a good analysis, not just a link like most people had.
- Atom Adventures (1981). Linking cause the screenshots and map make me nostalgic, even though I never had that game or even architecture.
- Feynman videos.
- Ways of Seeing, which I am surprised I have not linked before.
- Bible + D&D.
- Why we at $FAMOUS_COMPANY Switched to $HYPED_TECHNOLOGY. (via multiple)
- A minimal .vimrc.
- The FLOPKEY, possibly the slowest keyboard ever. (via)
- My New Old Apple IIe Computer. Oh, what a lucky guy. (via)
- ReActiveMicro. Found via previous story.
- Regular Expressions for Regular Folk. (via)
- jrnl – the command line journal. (via)
- “gundial“.
Good news in the interactive fiction department, which just so happens to be very topical for me these days. And the “we at famous company” article is hilarious. Good find!
