Jeg bliver aldrig træt af at læse artikler om, høre radio/podcasts om, eller se udsendelser om Ruja Ignatova, den forsvundne kryptodronning. DW har lavet en god dokumentar på 50mins penge: https://piped.video/watch?v=5hiPF558-vc Kan anbefales. Ellers kan man kaste sig over BBCs podcast, The Missing Cryptoqueen: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p07nkd84

Matt Webb har lavet et smart katalog over alle episoder af et af verdens bedste radioprogrammer, BBCs In Our Time med Melvin Bragg, https://genmon.github.io/braggoscope/. Der gøres brug af sexede ting som Dewey Decimal og GPT-3. Det er sgu smart.

ITVs Database - 1984

1 min read

I like everything about this episode of ITV's information technology program, hosted by Tony Bastable.

  • Aired in 1984
  • The program features a transmission of data for owners of home computers, specifically owners of home micros, at the end of each episode
  • Features the reply "I haven't been caught yet" by Pete Perkins, to the question on whether it's legal to copy the functionality of the Apple II and IBM. He also refuses to have copied it, btw, rather they are compatible
  • Talks about amateur radio enthusiasts, one of the first generation of hackers
  • Cold war references to Afghanistan resistence buying Z80A Central Processing Unit chip in Tokyo, while you can't even buy Sinclair computers in the duty free section in Heathrow, out of fear that it falls into the wrong hands
  • A request for british high street computer retailers to not only sell the hardware, but also offer classes on how to use it, in their retail buildings, because that's what the Japanese do.
