Btw this was a nice Thanksgiving in Italy:p


That was a nice video. You wouldn't have to make me turkey, don't worry. I get the feeling as soon as I try real Italian food with real spices, it will bring out the fiery side of me spicey food always does. Right now I eat food from a microwave and it isn't the best.

Kids these days. Theyll never know how easy they have it. Back in my day we needed D&D manuals and Magic the Gathering cards, and they didnt even tell you how to actually summon demons. Now they have a book that tells them exactly how? Rubbish!
Kids these days. Back in my day I programmed the boot sequence of an IMSAI 8080 using the front panel switches. And thanks to the internet, this is how it was done

To enter the program follow these instructions:

  1. Turn the machine on by moving the PWR ON / PWR OFF switch to PWR ON. This switch is located at the far-right of the unit.
  2. The machine is now at address 0. To input the first line of the program move the middle set of switches so that positions 3,2,1 are down. This corresponds to binary: 0000 1110 from Address 0 of the program.
  3. Press the DEPOSIT / DEPOSIT NEXT switch into the DEPOST position. This puts the data from the switches set above into memory at the current address, which is currently 0.
  4. Set the middle group of switches so that it corresponds to the binary in the next group of 8 bits of the program.
  5. Press the DEPOST / DEPOSIT NEXT switch into the DEPOSIT NEXT position. This increments the current address, and there it puts the data from the switches just set.
  6. Repeat lines 4 and 5 until the program has been entered.
The program can now be run by moving the RUN / STOP switch into the RUN position.

one of my favorite drinks after coming in out of the cold in the winter is a nice hot cup of Postum. Just discovered it triggers, what I think is, IBS. DANG!!!!
