Unduly pleased that in the last few-ish weeks I've managed to steal time (mostly from sleeping) to get a few things done: (Well, if not done done, at least further along.)
(Someday I'll have some screenshots... of VGA text consoles...)

Why do I feel compelled to write assembly lately? Why am I scouring the Internet and downloading all these old assemblers? What is happening to me?...

spankmeister posted:i;m thinking of starting a new project for myself. A clone of the Adlib Gold surround module. Since I have an adlib god I might as well. Some german person already did one last year but they're selling it for way too much money and I wanna see if I can design a PCB and whatnot. Nowadays PCB manufacturing is so cheap and easy that I can afford to gently caress up a couple times. Just need to source some vintage Yamaha chips. There was another similar thing too, but I forget the details; I wanna say it was a GUS remake but I doubt I have that right; probably some other card. Anyway, similar story: German (I think) guy anounces the project, gets a bunch of interest, lays out plans, goes dark forever, pops back up, makes some claims about progress and maybe starts getting feedback, ignores/dismisses/rants at most feedback, disappears again, others volunteer to make pieces of things for him to help get the thing out, OG guy more or less walks out in a huff. I'm sure I have most of that wrong -- like I said, I didn't pay close attention -- but it seemed sad and yet all too predictable.

Apparently a thing I get the urge to do every now and then is write implementations of Deadfish in rando programming languages I'm looking at, or playing with (or sometimes actually *using*....). Yesterday the itch struck again and I wrote two more: https://esolangs.org/wiki/Deadfish#Umka https://esolangs.org/wiki/Deadfish#ICI

Speaking tangentially of Borland... this is a fuckin' long shot, and probably the wrong thread as well (but what would be the right one?), but just in case anyone else here shares some of my particular weirdnesses: anyone got a line on the patches for I have the latest version Embarcadero sold (and maybe still sells?) -- 7.5 -- as of not all that long ago, but it's basically patch level 3 (e.g., 7.5.3) instead of patch level 5 (e.g., 7.5.5). Every now and again, I go looking for archives in The Wayback Machine, etc. or stashed away versions of the patch installers, but no dice so far. I've even attempted emailing folks who posted 10+ years ago or more on various fora about the patches/about CodeWright, but nothing has yet worked out there either. I'm hoping someone has the patch installers squirreled away somewhere, and that I can find that person. For a while, I thought I was gonna be out of luck on tracking down the CodeWright 7.5 SDK installer too, but luckily I did manage to dredge that up via some creative sleuthing & spelunking. Maybe I still haven't spent enough calories on the patch installers, but I haven't repeated the success there yet. At least for Windows, patch installers were typically named something like "xcw753_4.exe", which would update an existing version 7.5.3 to version 7.5.4. Likewise xcw754_5.exe would update 7.5.4 to 7.5.5.

Internet Janitor posted:i currently upload each set of new binaries manually. the old binaries are hidden from download (since otherwise it gets extremely cluttered and confusing), but i have them all archived locally and on itch.io so i can observe download counts per version/os. i also mark releases with tags on github Speaking of, re: the itch.io Windows builds/binaries, are you building those with VS/MSVC? They also seem to embed at least compile timestamp info, so I'm assuming the sources & build scripts, etc. are not currently designed to generate bit-identical artifacts (not that I'm expecting they are, just looking for confirmation). Is this correct? I've got your latest tip of main (ba14ca7) able to build with SDL2, SDL2_image, and Mingw-w64 via w64devkit (https://github.com/skeeto/w64devkit), but I basically ignored the Makefile, did things manually, and had to make some changes to decker.c and decker.js just to avoid a function name collision with a Mingw-w64 header (setmode).

some kinda jackal posted:So I think I dodged a bullet here because literally every problem except one with this typewriter had been fixed over the past two nights by just liberally spraying lacquer thinner into various rods and pivots. And to be honest I think the other one problem I'm having is just because I haven't figured out where to spray more thinner. And, I should maybe hasten to add (for others reading along, not for you some kinda jackal), while Selectrics expect and take more oil than like every other typewriter (which typically need to run dry with only specific places oiled, and sparingly), by no means can you get away long term with the classic amateur fix-it-all solution of hosing down everything with more oil. I saw that a lot during my brief apprenticeship at the local shop, they see it all the time, every day. It seems every random typewriter put up on eBay or Etsy is more likely than not to either be or have been greased to the gills or bathed in oil within an inch of its life, probably in order to get it "working" to someone who didn't know what they were doing well enough to be sold. Enjoy the Selectric! Type on it! Let me know if you want some free typeballs! At the risk of repeating more stuff you've likely already heard a hundred times, Selectrics need to be run regularly to stay running, so if you're not gonna type on it regularly, turn it on at least once a month and type a page on it, then turn it back off. If you use it regularly or do that, it'll only need its typically scheduled yearly maintenance (yay IBM service contracts) to stay in good shape. Otherwise it'll revert to being a brick if left unused for too long. While you're in there, how's your tab pulley lookin'? The plastic on those is typically gonna crack/snap and give way soon enough, it was one of the things that always got replaced with a better aftermarket third-party metal pulley assembly anytime a Selectric came in for service. Soon I'll get to pick up my Selectric I from the shop and get to go ham on it!
