A day of acquaintance
And then the longer span of custom
But first --
The hour of astonishment.

#MARCHintosh is coming

@paulrickards@mastodon.social Nice surprise waiting on the printer! Looks like the top bar got a bit mangled/overprinted though.

@bebadefabo@mastodon.social Ha! This definitely falls into the technical side of #retrocomputing. @paulrickards@mastodon.social and I are independently working on network print spooler projects. A print spooler basically pretends to be a printer; other machines see it as a printer and can print to it over the network. The goal is to convince other machines that I'm a real LaserWriter by responding appropriately to its queries.

"sit", the modern Unix-based StuffIt archive creation tool, has been updated with a few bug fixes: - better support for special characters, so you can include "Work ƒ" or "Project.π" or "Business®App™" and preserve those names when expanding. - names containing a slash could not be expanded on classic Mac OS - never overwrite an existing file; if "archive.sit" exists then create "archive-1.sit" instead, and so on. github.com/thecloudexpanse/sit #retrocomputing #VintageApple #VintageMac
