My son says:"You're welcome."
My Annual Verteran's day message.

 

Hello everybody. I know I am posting this message early like I usually do because I want to make sure it gets to everyone in time, especially since things are so chaotic right now.

Nov 11th is Veteran's Day here in the US and Armistice Day in Europe. I was very happy when I realized that the people of the world have been honoring those who stood up in defense of the people of their homelands and kept them as safe as they could, for over 100 years.

For those have stood up for the people of their countries and in some cases the world, I would like to thank you all. You have stood up and help keep us all safe and free and REFUSED to let evil win. Among those I thank for being willing to put their lives at risk to keep us all safe, I include all the members of the military, first responders, like the police and firemen, the National Guard that we have here in the US and other countries may have as well.

I would also like to ask those of you who have family members and friends who have served or are serving now to keep us all as safe as possible, please pass my thanks to them for their willingness to stand up and keep us all as safe as they can.

I hope you and your families have a peaceful and safe Veteran's or Armistice Day.

I gave my original Apple ][ away to a fellow Professor at the U.S. Naval Academy but I still have an Apple ][e that has and a . For some reason, I don't use it near as much as I used to but it's still set up in my computer dungeon along with all my others.

.... and that job will run quite merrily on a PDP-11without the aid of an OS.
An Apple ][, an Enhanced Apple IIe, I think the IIc/IIC+, and the Apple IIGS can do almost the exact same thing with the mini-assembler. No disks needed. Just turn it on and hit CONTROL-RESET to get into BASIC. Then use "CALL -151" to get into the System Monitor.

]CALL -151
*! (F666G on the Apple II)
!300: JMP 300
!303
*300G
Which will apparently cause the system to hang until you hit CONTROL-RESET when in reality it will run the processor.
On ALL Apple II models you can do it in machine code:

]CALL -151
*300:4C 00 03
*300G

I used to work on MicroVax and PDP8 with the big disk platters with 2 8 inch floppy disk drives.? Pretty cool stuff!

I never went too far in programming, but what I can remember is having to start each line command with a number.

Each line represented a step and creating loops was always a bit of fun.

I remember one of the first programs I wrote set the CMD PET 1000 to work for the next three weeks while it compiled every possibility of numbers that could be drawn in the Lotto 6/49, a biweekly draw in Canada.

A looooooong time since I actually wrote any FORTRAN.

Has anyone here come across VERBOSE - it was a variant

of COBOL where everything was written out in full. The example

I can rememmber is:

?

ADD EVERY INSTANCE OF ARRAY !ARRAYNAME;

-? WHERE THE ELEMENT OF !ARRAYNAME IS

-? GREATER THAN $ZERO, IS NOT AN INTEGER

-? AND IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO $FIVE;

-? STORE RESULT AS NUMBER !VARIABLENAME.

?

My wrists ache just remembering seeing the source code.

Yes, numbers were written out in full.

?

Variables were prefixed with a ! and numeric constants with a $

String literals were in single quotes.

Re: Looking for an HP fic #ficsearch

 

Sound like Fool¡¯s Consequences.
Looking for an HP fic #ficsearch

 

I am looking for a Harry/Draco fic. The specifics I can remember are that Draco throws a random ingredient into a cauldron during potions class, but it explodes on himself causing him to change into a girl. After talking with Snape, they find out it is permanent. Harry ends up responsible for Draco, life debt, I think. Harry and Draco get involved. There is a scene in the room of requirement where they are faking getting it on to trap the death eaters coming thru the vanishing cabinet.?
It's driving me crazy that I can't remember the title or author.
Thank you.

FWIW - decks of expired punched cards make excellent "logs" in an open fireplace
- but they do produce one heck of a lot of ash due to the fillers (talcum, kaolin and
marble dust) in the card.

Re: The Dragons Return

 

I used to have an Apple ][. It was serial number A2-S1-2174. I pumped that sucker up to 48k of RAM for $150 when Apple was charging $300 per 16k, put two floppy drives on it at $450 each, and had a hell of a good time with it for years. I even made the circuit modification to have 9 bits in the hi-res graphics bytes so that I could get extra colors in the display. I'd have to search for where I put it, but I still have my big red book that was signed by Randy Wigginton. I belonged to the same computer club that Steve Ciarcia was in, but he was never at any of the meetings I attended (I was in the Navy then, and couldn't get to every meeting).

I actually had money down on an ECD MicroMind, but I managed to get a refund before they went under.

I never had exposure to a PDP-11, but we had a PDP-8 running FOCAL in our hybrid computing lab.
Re: The Dragons Return

 

I actually have a PDP-11/32

no hard drive in it though, just an RX50 twin FDD.
