It's Sunday morning 11.44am here in Dunedin City. Been a wet and cool night. I think our high today is 10c
Just washed the dog (I get all the good jobs) and have now escaped other chores to do some bbsing :)
How's things with you?
You have a fan in Wellington :)
Thanks Al, appreciate the kind feedback. I'll try and keep up some of the on-air shifts.. it's a bit easier to do in lockdown to be fair :)
I've done two nights in a row interviewing for B2BBS, last night was Purple Motion and Skaven from the demoscene group, Future Crew, and tonight was a great fan of the channel talking about his BBS experiences. I also have a great interview with Jim Leonard (trixter Mobygames). Gonna be great if you are into demoscene / music tracker scene.
Cheers,
Al
wow thats awesome! i cant wait to see it! The cool thing about Back to
the BBS, is its not just history, we are riding the BBS2.0 wave now. :-) its awesome to be here for that. Back in 2008 when i first started doing research into BBSing, the only thing i could find on BBSs was how it was used in the 80s, and now the only BBSs were hosted in the Phillipine Islands, due to lack of good interenet connections. Im glad the BBS is making a comeback. we seem to see new faces and BBSs everyday.
very exciting times :-)
If you have a schedule that you're on air, let me know, I'd love to tune in then since I'm at home I can listen in most of the time.
Hi all.
Wondering who's about on this Sunday morning here in NZ?

Hi, lol still saturday evening here in Oklahoma City. :-) 6:42 pm
Wondering who's about on this Sunday morning here in NZ?
8:30pm here in Ontario, Canada. Just set up a projector in the living room for no particular reason to watch a movie on a bigger screen. Not sure what we're watching just yet, but have Dr. Strange on to test out
the settings, focus & brightness.
The cats are busy inspecting our work now, I'll let you know what they decide.

I usually linger around on it after I get out of bed... which on Sundays can vary wildly ;)
Requests welcome :)
At the moment I'm playing radio DJ on Total FM which is kinda fun, streaming on totalfm.nz
Play that kiwi band - Babysitters something, and I think the song was
"Its going to be alright?"... :)
Good tunes! =) *snapping fingers* lol

On it.
Love it!
I'm streaming through the house - and nobody even noticed you introduce the song :(
(But I did - thanks :)
I'll give BBSing a shout out soon.
They noticed that time! "Dad that was your name!".
Who would have imagined that a BBS could be used to field song requests for the radio, live?
We're rolling around to 2.26pm Sun now. Lunch was a couple of pies (I
know super unhealthy) and they were yummy.
What sort of projector are you using? just curious..

After washing a dog today. I'll take the cats anytime :)

That does sound yummy, what kind of pies? For savoury I do like a ground beef pie with peppercorn gravy, for sweet it's a tie between lemon meringue or pumpkin (with way too much whipped cream).
It wasn't as bright as I would have liked, had to turn off all the lights to see the movie at all, and even then dark scenes weren't that great. Reading some suggestions mention moving the projector closer to the screen and/or getting a better screen that isn't just white, but also reflective.
can vary wildly ;)Awesome. Listening now at Grab Creek Farms in the USA!

I picked up a Synology NAS chassis at a junk shoppe and have been like a kid in a candy store. Thought it was just a RAID enclosure, turns out there's a torrent client, web proxy, DNS/Radius/Directory/SSO servers, and a ton more
to play with. Time to move all of my linux shares off of CIFS and onto NFS.

The Air Quality Index is creeping higher due to a couple of big fires - thankfully nothing near us this year. Here on the California coast it's not too bad, but over the hill in Silicon Valley the AQI was creeping
near 175. It might be time to break out my crude-but-effective air
cleaner - a 20 inch box fan with a MERV 13 furnace filter cable-tied to the front.

You may be able to throw FreeNAS on it, then you get all the benefits
that freebsd provides. (I did that to my QNAP.)
I'm prob going to head away soon, gotta make a cup of tea for my wife
and get ready for bed. But have voice tracked a bunch of breaks for tomorrow morning during the breakfast show.
I had a chance to see the latest "Back 2 the BBS" awesome episode :-) i also checked out your video on IBM and the 8088 processor. very interesting.

That's not a bad idea; it appears that it's limited to an older version
of the OS. No complaints for $130. :)
I found a tweak to let the DS1010+ download the newer OS updates.
Besides the LAN1 and LAN2 lights being reversed, no ill effects so far.
Dude I really like your station and the show was great. Great balance of music and the station plays like the sort of radio I listened to when I was a teenager and loved radio.
You have a fan in Wellington :)

Thanks dude. I will be making a video at some point on how Gary Kildall, the man behind CP/M and Digital Research Limited lost out to Microsoft
and DOS for the IBM, it will be presented in a similar vein to the IBM/8088 one.
