I enjoy technical documents, low level code, the em spectrum, being skeptical, stoic quotes & Star Trek
When I was growing up my parents used to say I had a death wish… but I did NOT in fact have this card:
Good music + #retro magazines 😎
Me, any time I try to cook with an oven:

Microsoft… in the year 2025, Sept… has open-sourced its 6502 BASIC interpreter from 1976. This version of BASIC was adapted for the MOS 6502 CPU that powered Apple II, Commodore PET, VIC-20, +. The released asm (version 1.1) consists of nearly 7,000 lines and includes features such as floating-point arithmetic, string handling, array support, and efficient memory use for 8-bit systems 😎
Microsoft licensed this BASIC to Commodore in 1977 for a flat fee of $25,000 …tech business historians will know a bit 😉 about dat.

This was fun to learn, that in Star Trek, NCC stands for “Naval Construction Contract.” This designation is used for commissioned starships in Starfleet, such as the USS Enterprise with registry number NCC-1701. Nx is for experimental or prototype ships.
My gameplaying days are long gone but this new-old style, Heretic in daylight, game looks awesome!
