Pyramidas, my new Amiga ASCII/ANSI thing! Watch it in full in the Impure#90 art pack: 16colo.rs/pack/impure90

Weolkum bachkk!

The origins of DEL (0x7F) and its Legacy in Amiga ASCII art A micro-history of the character DEL (0x7F) as it appears in Amiga's Topaz font, and explorations on its use in Amiga ASCII art.

Fascinating read on the DEL-key's supposed nothingness, how it's been visualized through history, and why the Amiga does it differently. Or does it...? blog.glyphdrawing.club/the-origins-...

Svåridentifierat, men jag gissar att han heter Ian Durken och jobbar som controller idag. '__'

Henge+Goto80 @ Musikens Hus, Göteborg | GOTO8O Once again I'm warming up for Henge, this time at Musikens Hus in Göteborg, 10 May. I'll do my own visuals (for the first time!) so you can expect a good dose of textmode wilderness. The music in the video is my remix of their song Wanderlust.

I'll do my own visuals for the first time, next weekend, warming up for Henge at Musikens Hus in Göteborg. Let's see how that works.. :+) www.goto80.com/hengegoto80-...

One of the old classics!

Thanks!

I won a demoscene music compo! Haven't done that for years, and I was surprised by how happy it made me.

Competing in music is obviously a silly and problematic idea, but then you win and... 😎 https://youtu.be/NQrDLJvtzxE?si=DWGmzva4KvY2IGdX

* | Goto80 7 track album

10-15 years ago I tried to release music in the worst ways possible. My mini album * is one example, only available by burning a DVD in the wall of MOMI. A project by Aram Bartholl and Kim Asendorf. Anyway, now it's on Bandcamp! https://goto8o.bandcamp.com/album/--2

Hellooooo!

So no control character for changing the colour, maybe? So... C/G was a relevant term in the Atari/C64 BBS world, since they were compatible (in lower case) except for the colour? Hm, something to dig into..

Still wouldn't make sense tho, since the charsets aren't fully compatible, I suppose, since C64 uses the old ASCII 1963 encoding. Hmm.. Yeah, just thinking aloud. :)..

Ha, that could be fun! Btw, are ATASCII animations always monochrome? I haven't really understood why C/G would be called color graphics, since it's always in color on C64, so maybe it was in relation to ATASCII?

Thanks! It's been quite a lot of work, and still struggling with some files, but it feels important to get these things out there. Today I managed to display what turned out to be a silly Atari vs Commodore war animation. 😃

The host of the Computer Chronicles tv show and a quote: "Just about everyone agrees that today's traditional Internet search engines don't do a very good job."

Big search was pretty crap in 2000, and now it's pretty crap again? I've been trying qwant.com as the browser default for a while, and I like it. (Image via never-obsolete on Tumblr)

The whole demoscene, no? 😃

STORIES

Got some old disks with PETSCII graphics, probably late 1980's. I wonder if Snoopy started Snoopy's Doghouse BBS and then was convinced by his co-sysop Heavy Metal to rebrand it to something cooler, like DICTATORS OF DEATH.

YouTube video by gruwtchenko Goto80 & Raquel Meyers bei "Uwe Schenk trifft..." 1/4

12 years ago today, we released this performance on Upitup. Free download, Kopimi lincense! Raquel Meyers, the Uwe Schenk band, and me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQEw...

Screens from my new ANSI collection, released at @inercia.bsky.social. Full thing available at goto80.com/hmm.

The biggest win of getting a new phone, is that the Tumblr app allows me to save images on my phone again. (This one from lookcaitlin)

Early morning to read the manual of a synth I bought 3 years ago, and haven't used yet. Applause, please.

46 Years of PETSCII in 21minutes by Goto 80 (Transmission64 talk)

My PETSCII-talk from Transmission64 yesterday! https://youtu.be/0eTCAUDB4tA?si=eaxxT8nbh9rEGUcB

Haha, super! I made a fake demonstration video of a music software in teletext, which quite a few fell for. But yeah, Japanese teletext had sound, iirc.

Excellent, thanks! Will add these. Antiope was so cool, and it hasn't really received enough <3 imho.
