#RetroTech

Been looking for a new browser for ages I stumbled across Vivaldi (ok, it was recommended by Gemini) and I really like it. In my opinion, the secret to good software is that I shouldn't have to read a book or watch a video to figure out how to use it.

I’ve been in a bit of an "out with the old, in with the new" mood this year. I finally dumped Adobe. They just pressed too many of my buttons. The final straw was the price hike on Photoshop I’ve used it since V4. I dread to think how much money I gave that company over the decades. I replaced it with the new Affinity (by Canva). I used the old Affinity on and off, but this version is just so easy to use and actually fun.

This afternoon I am going to reinstall all my local AI tools onto my new PC I just built. No doubt this will cause hours of headaches as I seem doomed to always have code errors (I then have to battle my AI advisors to help me fix them). I am not a coder; I had a Commodore 64 growing up and that put me off code for life!

Don't worry I’m not here to debate the pros and cons of AI. I use it and love it, but I appreciate many people on here will absolutely hate it.

Anyway, that’s my rambling first post, I’ve never been the person to just say "Hi" hence why most of my friends are robots 😂

📻 Radio ou talkie walkie ?!

Avouez que ce petit Tenor FM P 907 des années 80 ressemble bien plus à un talkie jouet pour enfants qu'à un récepteur radio FM !

I loved connecting to a BBS and being greeted with some colorful ANSI art!

I don't know... I think I could get a job maintaining legacy ColdFusion sites lol 😂

Screenshot of Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 on a Windows XP–style desktop editing index.cfm. The code includes a small CSS block and a <cfoutput> section that prints the server name/software, ColdFusion version, and current time. On the right, the Files panel shows an FTP site (“Dev Server”) with folders like cfdocs and CFIDE plus index.cfm. An Internet Explorer window in the foreground displays the rendered page: “Hello, world!” followed by the ColdFusion server details (IIS/6.0 on 10.0.0.10, ColdFusion Server 7) and a timestamp.

Do you miss connecting to a BBS (or ANSI art)? You can find many still running today (via telnet instead of dial-up) at telnetbbsguide.com

I'm using an iPod classic on my old HiFi amp, and I have the impression that it has a pretty good DAC 👌

I install a 10" IPS panel in one of my projects. But since it is a device in a retro look, I would like to re-enact the curvature of a CRT with an acrylic glass.

Do you have any ideas how I could do that?
Has anyone done that before?
Any ideas?
