Old Computer Challenge 2023 day 1
Today I'm starting Solene's Old Computer Challenge V3. This is the 3rd year she's run it, but the first time I'm participating. The main idea the first year was to use an actual old computer, and she gave some specs. The second year she limited her internet. This year she suggested if you use a modern computer to limit the cores, speed, etc.
I got STOIC running under CP/M using the RunCPM emulator!
Ok, I've got STOIC.COM built with the basic and miscellaneous words loaded. To do this, I assembled KERNEL.ASM to produce KERNEL.COM, ran KERNEL.COM, loaded the STOICBAS.STC and STOICMIS.STC files for the basic and miscellaneous words, used the SZSTOIC command to find out the number of 256 byte pages used by STOIC, exited STOIC with the RETCPM command, and then used the CP/M SAVE command to save the memory that STOIC was using to STOIC.COM, and then ran STOIC.COM to issue some STOIC commands. The "[" and "]" words are from the miscellaneous words from STOICMIS.STC, and count the number of items that are pushed on the stack between them.
Old Computer Challenge v3: day 1
Hi! Today, I started the 3rd edition of the Old Computer Challenge. And it's not going well, I didn't prepare a computer before, because I wanted to see how easy it would be.
2023-W28: Capsule Of Yoshiyahu
“Capsule Of Yoshiyahu” is a creative capsule with an interesting mix of content. It has both a Gemlog and a Microlog, which means that if you like occasional polished posts you can follow just the Gemlog, but if you want more frequent posts you can follow both the Gemlog and the Microlog.
* 2001: A Space Odyssey / Kids and Technology * Korean Corn Dogs and Cultural Authenticity
Thanks to a fellow Gemini user (~kelbot), I rediscovered my love for Palm OS devices. Today I fired up an old IDE and started coding for them.
As a kid, I somehow came into possession of a Palm Pilot m150 (at least I think that was the model number). I also had a folding Palm keyboard, that communicated with the device via infrared. I of course used the device for games (Kyle's Quest and DragonBane II were amazing), but I also found numerous on-device IDEs that utilized the BASIC and C programming languages.
