36 years ago today, the #LomaPrieta earthquake rocked Santa Cruz County and the SF Bay Area. There’s a twisted redwood grove near the epicenter at the Forest of Nisene Mark. #SanAndreasFault

Resurrecting old tech at VCF Midwest
I've just posted a video that *tries* to document the overwhelming nature of the event (overwhelming in a good way, of course).
And I think I only covered like 1/3 of the show floor!

We have the NOAA system parsing data on the SpectraGen! GitHub update soon.
In future, I'll have a script to take external data automatically.
Thanks to purple horse (they know who they are) for the final bit of information I needed to get this parsing correctly.
It was this. $$

a spectragen and its brand new page editor application side by side, showing that data made on the page editor shows up properly on the spectragen
also, a millennium falcon using block graphics
Did you know that the Texscan MSI Compuvid Spectragen 4B can make a picture of a Millennium Falcon?
On an unrelated note: I created this screen on a PC with a Python script and sent it over serial.
The page editor works. YAY!
Still some rough edges, but we're getting there.

Whoa, I found another floppy from original Macintosh team member Joanna Hoffman! 😳
It contains the earliest version of ResEdit I’ve seen, v1.0 D4 - from 1985! 💾
