Thank you 9front for giving me an Itanium processor. It sped up my amd64 and arm64 processors
just re-watched a video recording of a conference presentation i made in june 2024.

after looking at it again with fresh eyes, i still think i did a good job.
The Dialup Café's marchintosh globaltalk node says goodnight for another year! thank you to all of the goofballs that dumped calling cards in the shared folder.
i sadly was able contribute very little to the festivities this year due to a chain of random illnesses. next year i am very much looking forward to having a lot more fun!
and of course, the globaltalk kiki at https://globaltalk.network will remain up permanently for your contributions. the editing password is marchintosh2025, and welcomes your new pages and macintosh knowledge.
Okay, working day is over. Now I can do coding crimes by programming in BASIC. Plan for today: catch up with trigonometry and make a proper math library in Vintage BASIC.
i simply do not recognize this day of false jesters. you will receive no warning for my pranks. they shall not be confined to a mere day

mass murders, bloodthirsty imperialism
I'm about halfway thru this book The Jakarta Method and while I had some familiarity with the events, learning about the wider context has been really eye-opening in a gut wrenching way
in 1965 a CIA-sponsored coup overthrew the government of Indonesia and installed a right-wing puppet general as president, who went on to purge the country of communists and suspected communists in one of the bloodiest mass murder campaigns of the second half of the 20th century, around a million people were killed and another million imprisoned

For the last couple months I have been working on a server recreation for dead MMO "Dark Sun Online: Crimson Sands" along with assistance from @HunterZ and @Bogusmeatfactory. Today we reached a milestone - the ability to create a character, pass the introductory "cutscene" (narration), and walk around the world talking to NPCs!
Well, at least I COULD walk around the world, if I hadn't badmouthed the soldier at the start and wound up in a jail cell :P
my new article for green left.
i am one of those people--an "election wonk".
as an election approaches, i will be hunched over big wads of paper, spending hours and hours scrolling through tables of seemingly pointless numbers.
please find here a ~500 word article that has some of the most important things to note about the March 8, 2025 WA Parliament election.
i have a couple of documents that go way deeper into all the numbers. if you would like a copy let me know.

Join Friends of Palestine WA for this emergency rally for Palestine.
Israel has unilaterally ended the ceasefire with the backing of the Trump administration. Since Tuesday morning, Israel has killed more than 400 Palestinians in one of the bloodiest bombardments of the Gaza Strip. This is on top of the more than 60,000 killed in the Gaza genocide over the past eighteen months.
Since the January 19 ceasefire, tanks have rolled into the West Bank and over 40, 000 Palestinians have been displaced. In Australia, there has been an offensive against people who have spoken up for Gaza.
Now is the time to stand up and stand strong. Join our next Rally for Palestine - end the bombing of Gaza, immediate and permanent ceasefire now!
