Advent of Computing

It's me, Sean, a podcaster exploring the history of computers. Support the show:

Just saw that text search is back on @internetarchive ! Huge thanks to everyone over there for all the hard work!

[Advent of Computing @adventofcomp]

@7r4p3z01d @CleverPodcast @amydevers I'll add that to my listening list. I know scant few details about Olivetti

[John Romero 🤘🏽 @romero]

I found the 6502 episode of the @adventofcomp podcast quite interesting: https://t.co/8UdSL2Q7Fy

@romero Thanks John! The whole sage of MOS is such a wild story, I really enjoyed the chance to talk about it.

[Advent of Computing @adventofcomp]

Like, seriously, request a PDF from whom?

[Advent of Computing @adventofcomp]

I really love how some publishers are still trying to sell access to papers from the 1940s! On what planet does that makes sense!?

[Advent of Computing @adventofcomp]

This one is about probably the strangest game I've yet to encounter.

I'm hitting the mountains this weekend, so I recorded a little earlier than usual. Here's the next episode up extra early for Patrons:

VCF spoils: a front panel for a Raytheon RDS500. Incidentally, does anyone have some docs on the machine?

[Advent of Computing @adventofcomp]

@eu_magpie Zuse has been on my list for a while... I should probably make myself get to him

[Advent of Computing @adventofcomp]

Who all is hitting up VCF West next week? And, would anyone be interested in an impromptu get together on Friday the 2nd after the fest closes for the day? Was thinking something like a group dinner over in Mountain View.

[Advent of Computing @adventofcomp]

A video of the panel I ran at VCF SoCal was just posted! Check it out if you missed it. It's a discussion on the importance and struggles of preserving computer history.

This episode I'm going back to a language I trash talked. I'm reassessing TRAC, perhaps one of the more unique languages I've ever learned.

[Advent of Computing @adventofcomp]

@nickshanks_ @vxunderground Yes! EZPZ!

[Advent of Computing @adventofcomp]

I'm issuing a challenge. Here's a processor for the TRAC programming language. Can anyone write Fizz Buzz in it?

[Advent of Computing @adventofcomp]

As you may have heard, I'm speaking at VCF West on August 2nd. Because of that my schedule is going to be a little weird for the next episode. My plan is to put together a mini-episode to hold the feed over. Maybe something on the Songs of IBM? idk. I'll try to make it weird.

@jimmyhmiller @bcantrill @ahl Am I being summoned?

[Advent of Computing @adventofcomp]

@Paninodesu I might try, but I have my doubts that Gates would ever respond.
