MS-DOS 7.10

Now this is a good time! In case FreeDOS wasn’t cool enough for you, now you can get back to the original. I’m digging the 9MB bootable CD w/extra enhancements and a full installer.

Year-Old Birthdays

1yr. birthday parties are fun, despite what you might think about them. They’re more for family and friends than for the babies, of course. As such, it’s a good time to go and see your friends with their babies and catch up on whatever you haven’t caught up on lately. For me, it was a… Continue reading Year-Old Birthdays

Social Innovation Forum

In follow-up to my previous post, I found some relevant information on the voter’s lottery idea. I don’t recall the name of the person credited on NPR for the idea, but I’m thinking Alan Kay was not the guy. At any rate, his article was interesting to skim.

I’m so intrigued with the critters that are showing up in this competition. Basically, it’s a large group of combatant, bipedal, robotic machines (not all humanoid) that duke it… Continue reading Kickboxing Robots Draw Crowds in Japan

MSI 3.0 (Update)

I finished the class Microsoft presented on MSI 3.0. It’s interesting stuff, but if you’re used to such things as RPM, it’s just catching up. Microsoft does have a nice feature coming out that is targeted to assist the gaming community. This new feature allows the original MSI installer to apply a certificate to the… Continue reading MSI 3.0 (Update)
