Pondering if I dare to put #Fortran into my CV.

I can do some Fortran, partly because it keeps coming up in all sorts of #retrocomputing contexts, but, even with Ratfor enhancements, I don't consider it a well-designed or pleasant language, and I'm not sure I can see myself working at a place that deals in new Fortran code now that nice, human-friendly languages such as NumPy and APL have been invented. Besides, 21st century Fortran is a really weird language that doesn't even know what it wants to be when it grows up.

This is an image probably never seen outside of #microsoft and probably not since 1994.

Check it out. Tranparent case Apple Newton Messagepad 110. #retrocomputing #vintagecomputers #apple #newton

The X1 is an incredibly interesting computer, one of the few that truly feel designed around a tape deck (the cassette versions naturally) lots of automatic stuff happening - The Sharp X1 starting to load BASIC from Cassette #RetroComputing

Yes, in the 1980s we downloaded games from the radio

Couldn’t leave the X1 alone, everything is back together - just one screw left over and I know where that goes, it’s an absolute pain to do - so I’m very glad this happened #RetroComputing

Today I finally replaced the drive belt of my new CPC 664. Half of the old belt fell out before I had opened the drive. The other half was still in the drive and a tiny bit was stuck to the metal. I had to scrape it off with a knife. But now the drive works perfectly. Hooray! Also all keys work without any problems.
The CPC is pretty dirty. I cleaned three keys for reference. I guess it will look quite okay when I'm done with it.

Managed to compile an MD5 program with cc65 on the #AppleII and it actually works! It takes forever to calculate, but what matters is it gets the hash right.

Program was found here: https://gunkies.org/wiki/Md5.c

(Also I hate that cc65 programs aren't re-entrant and have to be loaded from disk again.)
