The Pixello-Dynamotronic Computational Engine

Via [livejournal.com profile] jwz:

"Datamancer" making a personal computer "the way it should have been" with the aesthetic of c. 1910 - 1925.

Very cool.

Why can't I buy something like this mass produced?

I want to connect to the Memex with an Attwater-Kent Orthophonic AE.

Clearly something is wrong with this segment of the space time continum.

21st Century Frog

I am posting from my new (oooh, shiny!) Mac G4 Powerbook.

Your Cyber-Pal has somehow gotten along without a portable computer previously. This will make some things much easier.

This is also my very first piece of 21st century technology.

I am not posting this from home on my phone line... I am posting WIRELESSLY from the tea shop down the street!

My new gadget does other nifty things as well. It even plays "DVDs". "DVDs" are like one of those new-fangled "CD" music discs, except instead of playing an album worth of music, it plays a video! How cool and ultramodern is that!

21st century technololgy now joins the 19th century and 20th century devises in my home in making an ever better futuristic life!

Y2003 Bug

I'm Froggy. I'm Back.

I'd been putting off lots of non-essential internet stuff for a while while I got an issue of the jazz magazine ready-- and shortly after I got it to the printer, Peztium Chimp (my home compooter) suffered the dreaded Hard Disc Crash. And it wouldn't have done me much good to get Bozo the Clone (my old 8088 Dos Box) out of the attic now that no local providers I know provide shell accounts anymore...

Well, now I'm back with a new (from used pieces & parts) Pentium 233. Any suggestions for naming my new machine?

Damned Spammers Episode VII, or 1992 Dos-Box-D00d Suddenly Thrown Forward 10 Years

ADVICE WANTED!

My ISP was bought out by Airmail.net a while back.
They say they're going to be phasing out Shell accounts (whaa), and want everybody to switch to their web-based email.
Well, I may be looking for another ISP, but still I'd rather like to keep my neosoft email addresses since I've been using it since 1994.
Thing is, I've been using procmail to filter out spam. It's 3ll|+3!
I ask the guy who passes for "tech support" about programs or clients with similar capacities-- filters things out according to my specifications as soon as the messages arrive, without them taking up space on their machine or me having to download everything to mine. He claimed there's no such thing.
That's such a damned usefull function that I have trouble believing noone has created something equivilent for this ultra-futuristic web based email.
So, reccomendations?

P.S.: I see I recieved Nigerian Money Scam emails from someone calling themselves "Dr. Banjo Peters". IHNJH, I just like the name "Dr. Banjo Peters".
