ASCII by Jason Scott / Javascript Hero: Change Computer History Forever
But on the whole I am primarily dealing with artifacts and not experience. A number of people have done some good work to bring in experience of computer history, most notably the Emulator People. In fact, if you don’t go too crazy on the rococo specifics of the accuracy of emulators, they do really really well to take you from “I wonder what it was like to play Choplifter” to “Wow, I am playing Choplifter“. And as someone sitting in the channels of several emulation projects, I will tell you they are all getting better, every single day – improvements in speed, accuracy, flexibility and expandability.
So here is what I’d like to do.
I want to help port the MESS and MAME emulators to Javascript.
Bonjour le boulot pour émuler correctement les systèmes multi-processeurs ou à co-processeurs, et encore plus pour les systèmes sans horloge (pas que la gestion des timings en Javascript soit boulversante...)

ASCII by Jason Scott / Floppy Disks: It’s Too Late
I am telling you this because I am grabbing you by the fucking collar and shaking very hard because it is obvious you need to be shaken very hard and told that this is it. This is the endgame for floppies. We went over the hump, and the chances of rescue are slim to none now, but there are still chances. It’s a chance that needs to be taken now.

Facebook now stands as taking over a decade and a half of the dream of the World Wide Web and turning it into a miserable IT cube farm of pseudo human interaction, a bastardized form of e-mail, of mailing lists, of photo albums, of friendship.
ASCII by Jason Scott / FaceFacts
Well, first, let’s start with Facebook itself.
Facebook is the third of what is probably a quartet (or quintet) of the destruction of the innocence of computing. First was viruses, second was malware, third is facebook. I suspect fourth will be related to control of networking itself, and fifth will be licensing of high level computer ability. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

MIME and the Web from Larry Masinter on 2010-05-30 (www-tag@w3.org from May 2010)
and threadMIME was invented originally for email, based on general principles of 'messaging', foundational architecture. The role of MIME was to extend Internet messaging from ASCII-only plain text (other character sets, images, rich documents, etc.) The basic architecture of complex content messaging is:

how hard is it to make it easy?Sending a properly encoded email that contains non-ASCII characters is not as trivial as it should be.
