The red paper tape warning was left there by yours truly, after plugging a Kill-A-Watt into the outlet. This is why I *always* test outlets on location before plugging equipment into them. https://digipres.club/system/media_attachments/files/112/958/104/395/673/123/original/6ec0bcf8de9d421d.jpg npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton My wife in her violent, 3½” floppy years. https://digipres.club/system/media_attachments/files/112/935/123/001/365/716/original/bf70590cf2f8db41.jpg npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1rv4…ft5j Wow.

That’s why I block them. npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1rv4…ft5j That I can believe! 😂 npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton FFS I hate when this happens 😂 https://digipres.club/system/media_attachments/files/112/748/684/390/662/703/original/427fcb12cd1144b1.jpg npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1rv4…ft5j This sounds like the PCB needs to be updated to “three problems” 😂 npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1rv4…ft5j 😂 npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1rv4…ft5j Sounds like its time for a Stream Deck. npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1rv4…ft5j That’s legitimately hilarious. 😂 npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton Cute User Agent, kid. Here’s 5¢, go buy yourself a real scripting language. https://digipres.club/system/media_attachments/files/112/543/758/190/203/728/original/035a53b6d0f498e1.jpg npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton It’s too bad that no one over at Google does any long term strategic thinking. I mean, when your corporate strategy encompasses stealing from everyone on the web, to redirecting search traffic away from paying clients to Google themselves, using that very same stolen content… you’re definitely gonna need a long term strategy, and sooner than you realize. npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1rv4…ft5j This is a pretty solid idea. Very Portal (1986)-esque. npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton There are few things that say ‘this is a cultural product of The South’ more than a promotional photograph of the women employed by a business, who are all wearing white blouses (or in more recent years, white polo shirts). It’s one of those things that becomes weird, when you realize it’s something that only people in certain areas do… but it’s not clear why. npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton Ahhh… when the future was just “1990 - 2010.” https://digipres.club/system/media_attachments/files/112/465/229/058/056/219/original/36abb9c81136460f.jpg npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton Ahhh… when the future was just “1990 - 2010.” https://digipres.club/system/media_attachments/files/112/465/229/058/056/219/original/36abb9c81136460f.jpg npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1rv4…ft5j Looking good! npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1rv4…ft5j Nice! npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1rv4…ft5j Looks like it might be possible to put two - and possibly three - small cameras on the chute. npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1rv4…ft5j We’ve done that with CFAST cards, basically the same principle. (It can work for limited periods, after which the controller on the cards needed to cool down.) npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1rv4…ft5j Maybe. Probably depends on the depth. I’ve seen reports on the local news in which people apparently called 911 after landing in bodies of water. npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1rv4…ft5j I’ve seen this before and would really like to know. On some of those machines, I’ve suspected it might have been the paint coating on the casing bubbling off, but…. npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1rv4…ft5j You have been chosen! Congratulations!! 😂 npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1rv4…ft5j “Soft Foam Kneeling Pad” from Home Depot. The only time I remember that this product exists is when I’m already in pain, and forgot to buy one after the last time. npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1rv4…ft5j Appreciate you sharing the link!! npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton RogerEbert dot com: “Why Deleting and Destroying Finished Movies Like Coyote vs Acme Should Be a Crime” Yet another example of why applying the logic of other businesses (e.g. real estate) to show business is causing the entire entertainment industry to implode. https://www.rogerebert.com/mzs/coyote-vs-acme-canceled npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton What?

Probably for “clip” / promo usage. When I was doing field Video Engineer work, on multicam shoots, I only ever had one request to record the director’s comms. Always wondered where that whole workflow originated from. npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1qz2…nlrg This is unusual. Kinda surprised to see a quad split with TC and director’s comms, especially from this time period. Looks like this quad was created after the fact (see playback issues at 16 & 17 minutes [YT clip time] on cams 1 and 4). Generally, this sort of record-the-director thing is done when they expect to complete the final edit in post - i.e. there isn’t a line cut. Seems to be a lower budget production overall. npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1qz2…nlrg What are your plans for the machine when finished? npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1up2…k6en Oh wow! Did not know that!! npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1up2…k6en Have SCSI and Parallel ZIP drives in storage in the Northeast. Although I wasn’t able to test the SCSI version, I did use the Parallel unit to transfer all of my father-in-law’s discs, using an old 386 I’d found in the basement. I kinda feel fortunate that we didn’t have any issues with these. npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1qz2…nlrg So sorry to hear this - hope you can recover everything quickly npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1qz2…nlrg YT knows their (uploading) audience. Put differently, they seem to assume by default that their contributors are infringers. 😂 Maybe that’s a good legal position for them. What has been interesting to see is the shifting sands of the cottage industry that developed around those content IDs. On one particular clip that a friend had uploaded a dozen+ years ago, there were apparently six or seven different groups that claimed the content over that time period. npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1qz2…nlrg Can you clarify what this is about? npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton For the #retrocomputing folks out there… “IBM Independent Study Program: OS JCL Coding for Programmers U-Matic Tape 1 (1973)” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xkp_w6iygEs Looks like an IBM 360 / Model 50 at ~ 12:14. npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1qz2…nlrg I appreciate the answer. Thank you. npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1qz2…nlrg Thanks for the insight. Good Morning America should have been accompanied with TEXT - an information service for the deaf and hard-of-hearing - transmitted via the Closed Captioning system. (It was a huge initiative of the ABC network, the National Captioning Institute, and the Federal Government.) I would be very surprised if that didn’t have caption data. P.S. This caught my eye because GMA started to be captioned around/after the summer of ’84. npub1gw6zu5t0csg4z6aj58urm7h9q529ehnav3zp3nplq8j6fhcj6lzsuhfu48 Denis Warburton @npub1qz2…nlrg I’ve seen you post photos like these for a while now, and wasn’t certain if these are being digitized for a private collection, or for upload to the IA. If it’s the latter, are the captions included? No pressure either way. I ask because they could be very helpful for my historical work with Closed Captioning, if they do include the caption data.
