Notes

Thanks for all the questions everyone, I was not expecting that many

I've grouped them by category and will be recording my answers today

I'm not a YouTuber and I don't have a podcast anymore, but I thought it might be fun to make one of those Q&A videos

If you have a question about me, my setup, OpenBSD, Pushover, old Macs, whatever, reply with your question here and I'll make a video this week

Please stop spewing ANSI color from your random command-line program

This Mac Plus didn't come with the "programmer's switch", so let's just print one

Using resource forks as a database file was a bad idea :(

current mood

The CRT needed some slight voltage, positioning, and size adjustments

Voltage through the floppy port now at 5.05V and 12V and the screen image measures 7.1" x 4.75"

Welcome, slightly yellowed friend

Here's the hard drive... thank you for your service at Benson Public Schools

I soldered in a diode across CR1 to provide SCSI bus power so I can use a SCSI2SD v5.5 like my development machine instead of this big hard drive enclosure it came with

It already has 4 megabytes of RAM installed

The analog board looks good and none of the caps look swollen, but maybe I'll recap it later just for good measure (it's going to be on 24/7)

And a keyboard and mouse... what are these strange keys with arrows on them?

A new Macintosh Plus arrived that will act as my BBS server once I've implemented enough code (see recent videos at
https://jcs.org/system6c)

It came with its original box and a SCSI hard drive

So we're just going to skip right to Web4, right?

Anytime someone leaves a bad review for @PushoverApp@twitter.com complaining it doesn't have a particular feature, I remind myself that Instagram was bought a decade ago for a billion dollars and they still don't have an iPad app and the iPad still doesn't have a calculator
