Praeception Rainbowcore

Another microtexture artwork from the same template as the last one.

Geometric pattern of semi-random small circular dots arranged in a grid pattern, with colors ranging from green on the left to blue, then magenta, then red, then orange, then yellow on the right, and a black background

Praeception Mono

Microtexture-based artwork I made a while back. I drew a 4x4 pixel dot template by hand and then tiled before applying it to the base image to get that microtexture.

Behold the revolutionary #Chafa, where 21st-century #tech meets the artistic flair of a 1980s dot matrix printer. 🎨✨ Get ready to squint in awe at "reasonable approximations" of images, because who needs high-res when you have ANSI X3.64? 🙄🤦‍♂️

The sound when you get a program fully working on an 8-bit computer and you really don’t want to lose it!! #c64 #dotmatrix #hardcopy

Android shopping list apps disappointed me too many times, so I went back to writing these lists by hand a while ago.

Here’s what’s more fun: Write them in Vim and then print them on the #dotmatrix printer. 🥳

And, because I can, I use my own font for that, i.e. ImageMagick renders an image file and then a little tool converts that to ESC/P so I can dump it to /dev/usb/lp0.

(I have so much scrap paper from mail spam lying around that I don’t feel too bad about this. All these sheets would go straight to the bin otherwise.)

Dot matrix art display on the bottom of the cantilevered section of the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art

#photo #photography #cornell #buildings #architecture #art #museum #dotmatrix #blinkenlights

A concrete building has a large cantilevered section that juts out from a tower in the back and is supported on two legs, one of which has a big notch visible from the front. At the bottom a door opens onto a patio, the cantilevered part has two layers of window, a big wide one at the bottom and a set of subdivided smaller ones above and the bottom of the cantilevered section is covered by a grid that has numerous lights with a shimmering pattern

I've got this vintage #Centronics to #Atari #SIO connector. The last time I tried it (last year sometime), I could LPRINT a line from BASIC, but line endings weren't correctly interpreted. (Unsurprising; Atari uses $9B as its line ending.)

Coming back to it today to see if the adapter was configured to interpret line endings correctly, I mostly got timeout errors in BASIC and twice only, some garbage, while trying to print.

(Printing via the parallel port on a Thinkpad 760CD running Windows NT4 works perfectly. So it's not the printer.)

Any tips on how to proceed further with troubleshooting this connector?

A sketch of the connections on the SIO connector to the board in the Centronics adapter. All connections are accounted for and are good.

The business side of the little board in the Centronics connector. Three of the chips have stickers on them which I'm loath to remove. The 24-pin DIP chip has a sticker with the text "(c) 1984 WW ATARI20E". The 40-pin DIP has a sticker with the legend "WW 04-1986 Test OK: fp SN 17499".

A close up if a line of garbage printed on green bar paper.

Most of the characters printed are not even in the ATASCII character set. At the end of the line is some valid text "0 DIM A$(80)"

We take so much for granted now. In 1982, you would have to fork over the cost of a new Nissan Sentra just to type the same letters you can type now with any e-waste dumpster laptop made in the last 20 years, a $50 inkjet printer, and an office suite you can download for free. But would you look as cool doing it? I would definitely love that #trs80 and the #dotmatrix printer for my collection. #retrocomputers #retrocomputing #radioshack #8bit #z80 #tandy #scripsit

Continua il recupero delle mie vecchie cassette! Questa copertina l'avrò sicuramente stampata con l'Amiga e probabilmente una stampante Commodore MPS ❤️

I totally just bought a dot matrix printer with intent to bring into my office at work. Can't wait to hear my coworkers' reaction when I print something. Hell, I should bring in my IBM 5155 for bonus effect.

EDIT: Know what else this printer doesn't have? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots

Some typographic close-ups of the Receipt or Ticket de caisse. I couldn’t come by a typeface which I liked, so I created my own, I call it ‘Ottotext’. It is a monospaced dot-matrix font based on a minimum of 6x6pixels. There are different varieties: tall on 12x6 pixels, or bold on 12x12 pixels, large on 12x24 pixels, and so on. The English version is straightforward, but in the French I had to skip some of the accents. This font is ‘handmade’ on a grid by ´drawing in’ the actual pixels and copy-pasting. The image is made on a 421x1194 pixel canvas, using photoshop 6 on System 9.2, G4 Powermac.
Final screen printed size of 120 x 42 cm.
