Hey, Mastodon … I’m trying to track down an #AppleNewton developer named Stephen A. Cronin.

He worked at #AMD and operated a software company called TapTech based out of Austin, Texas in the late 90s. I’ve managed to contact his former software partner, Francis Preve … but Francis lost touch with Stephen years ago.

Together they released a sequencer program for #NewtonOS called NR404 and I’m hoping the source code still exists somewhere.

Boosts appreciated.

Why travelling on Eurostar from the UK is about to become much trickier. Spoiler alert: it's a Brexit bonus!

Yet another airport blocking SSH (and Wireguard) on their WiFi. Thanks for nothing, Stansted.

OK the last 2 episodes of #DoctorWho have been great. I felt the show got off to a pretty rough start with all the singing goblins and talking babies. The Maestro episode was much better (but the random song and dance number at the end - no idea)

But Boom! and 73 Yards were both excellent. Still a lot of questions unanswered, but I assume (hope) that's all part of the big plan!

Use your #Newton to place a call by... putting your phone on the Newton. #TopTips #RetroComputing

Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil...prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon...

I had filed Sunak as fundamentally decent, but occasionally mouthfarting nonsense to appease the brexitty loons. I didn't expect full fat fascism. Fuck this gang. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpddxy9r4mdo

We knew the data protection and digital information bill was getting dropped but still nice to see it reported by BBC after years fighting against it https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd11d37rpw9o #privacy #surveillance #digitalrights

Douglas Adams died way too early 😞
He would have been on Mastodon, you just know it

The first three Ncuti Gatwa episodes of #DoctorWho didn’t do much for me. I was very much “meh”. They were “fine” I guess. But left me kind of flat.

But both #Boom and #73Yards had me locked to my TV. Absolutely excellent. More of that please.
