Re: Happy 30th birthday linux!!

And amazing how many OSes I've worked on over the years that have fallen to the wayside of mainstream use: HPUX, AIX, SunOS, Solaris, Ultrix, DEC OSF/1, Digital Unix, TOPS-20 (there's an emulator online!) Irix, ConvexOS, and others I'm sure I've forgotten. Oh wait, ConvexOS (which morphed into HPUX when they bough Convex), Cray's Unicos. All systems I've supported and worked on over the years. With Linux in various flavors and distributions being the core of my work for the past 15 years I would say. Though Solaris has lasted the longest of the mainstream vendors, even though Oracle has pretty much killed it off now.

Happy 30th birthday linux!!

by Tim Keller

It was 30 years ago today Linus sent out his fateful email about his os he didn't think was going to turn into a "big thing." This is an amazing group full of quirky, smart and enthusiast linux users! I hope in some way we've helped to make linux a success! Stay safe and I hope to see you at the next meeting! Later, Tim.

I'm going to try to get in using my Linux laptop. That didn't work so well last time, but I found some headphpones that seem to work. If it doesn't work out, I will switch to a Windows machine that workied, mostly. Thank you for your patience, if any. -- Keith

Re: Anagramarama

by Dennis Payne

It is on the website under "Additional Programmer". I suppose I could list the web site design as well. Although it occurs to me I didn't add me to the readme. I've already started working on getting another program up and running. It is a clone of Thrust an old C64 game. It supported svgalib and X11 is 256 psuedo color neither of which I can run. I've got it running in SDL but it has really complex autoconf/automake setup. I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to generate the right result. I did manually edit the Makefile and get it compiling but obviously that isn't a great solution. https://github.com/dulsi/thrust On Wed, 2021-08-11 at 09:57 -0400, Jon "maddog" Hall wrote: > Nice job, Dennis! > > You should add your name to the website, since you (re)created it. > > Credit where credit is due. > > md > > On Wed, Aug 11, 2021 at 8:10 AM Dennis Payne via WLUG > <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > > Anagramarama is a game I found on the libre game wiki.

Nice job, Dennis! You should add your name to the website, since you (re)created it. Credit where credit is due. md On Wed, Aug 11, 2021 at 8:10 AM Dennis Payne via WLUG <wlug(a)lists.wlug.org> wrote: > Anagramarama is a game I found on the libre game wiki.

Anagramarama

by Dennis Payne

Anagramarama is a game I found on the libre game wiki. I decided to add game achievements to Anagramarama. Since the old website is gone, I've created a new website. I'm currently in the process of adding the package to Fedora. http://identicalsoftware.com/anagramarama/ You can see the achievements at my test site: http://108.49.106.217/game/dulsi/anagramarama -- Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@dulsi

Meeting reminder! August 12th 2021, NOTE: Meeting will be Virtual!

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang! We've got a meeting on Thursday August 12th! I'm going to up front say that this is going to be a virtual meeting. As great as having an in person meeting was, I think we should go back to virtual meetings until the whole Delta variant situation shakes out. Feel free to argue, this is wlug after all! Topic: Nothing decided yet. Feel free to step up to the plate if you've got something interesting. Otherwise, expect the usual nerd banter! Time: 7pm Location: The usual Jitsi location: https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".
