After spending a few evenings poring over the #vt100 schematics I finally have a rudimentary understanding of how the video output works.

There are still lots of details to work out, such as the specific order and function of a bunch of signals, but now I understand the DMA path from main memory to video line buffer and roughly from there to the character ROM and onto the electron beam.

This is not very complex but this is a first for me, and my brain really enjoys this kind of puzzle.

"Sally er den, der tør give det bort."

"Finder jeg trøst i min kærestes skat"

"Sort [noget?] af kvinden i mit liv"

Som barn syntes jeg, at teksten til Papirsklip var meget sær, og det var en underlig måde, at den kvindelige hovedperson blev sporadisk omtalt og kun ret usammenhængende.

Så er den ældste afleveret på #efterskole, og det tog kun ti timer tur-retur.. men forhåbentlig er det besværet, afsavnet, og pengene værd.

@DavidBFox I am listening to the old TWP podcast, and in one episode the question of doing a game where you didn't own the rights, e.g. a MI sequel. Both Ron and yourself said you didn't want to, but I wonder if this has changed since RtMI - how would you feel about returning to Zak on similar terms?

Hey, want to feel old?

Back in June, Quake came out 30 years ago.

Jeg fandt egentlig et #pindsvin i dag, men nu gjorde jeg ikke alligevel. Buuuhh.

I saw the first #hedgehog of the year today, and I almost hurt it by accident. It was hiding in a pile of leaves behind a plate leaning against my garage, and when I moved the plate I wanted to get rid of the leaves I suddenly noticed spikes!

It stayed in the pile of leaves despite me working and regularly passing by in the narrow passage. Later I carefully picked it up and placed it nearby, and when I checked again after dinner it was gone, so hopefully it found a new spot.
