Since I can't use Faircamp static album site generator I started building out my own website alternative. I have a million other projects to finish first, but I thought why not hack around #DecemberAdventure style for an hour. I think I got the landing page about 90% of the way there and the album pages I got a nice audio player going. Hopefully can finish it up later this month.

I joined a climbing gym for the month because they have a killer deal. I'm enjoying climbing but my arms are getting so sore. I have to work on my technique and get my feet to push me up.
@eli_oat@tenforward.social Hi hi, loved your last blog post on The Seed Beneath the Snow! Even though I don't think I'll jump to reading the original software company discussions I enjoyed your discussion, and I'm picking up some Colin Ward (somehow i haven't read before). And really enjoyed your references to Landsmanshaft! Parallels some of the experiences I've had in unions, but more specifically in explicitly anarchist and non-hierarchical communities i'm part of.
By the way, Molly Crabapple's new book is all about the history of the Bund. Comes out this month.
@yaxu This is so cool.
One question, in the article here: https://talesfromthecollection.com/nintendos-nes-knitting-machine-system-a-closer-look-at-the-strange-history-oddware/ the quote at the bottom says:
One fellow at the Nintendo Booth says the machine can crank out a custom sweater in about four hours. While that may be an exaggerated, this device is a runaway hit in Japan, and Nintendo hopes it will take off here. I’m convinced this knitting software will help reintroduce the home computer to the public. John Dvorak Jan. 11, 1987 – via Howard Phillips
Maybe a mis-print because i'd assume we'd have heard about a japanese famicom one, especially if it was a 'runaway hit'?

Remember the days when you had to hook up a telephone line to a modem to be able to access the Internet (I did not have the chance to live in those days, but well...)? Welcome back. This makes use of two simple reversible data channels that connect computers together: 3.5mm audio cables. The client sends a webpage request, and the server answers this request by sending the compressed HTML code of this webpage over... sound.
