The art of computers

Computers have evolved a lot since I got my first Commodore C=64 for Christmas 1987. Back then you had it plugged in to a TV and could either write some Hello World programs in Basic or spend 20 minutes loading a game that hopefully would start from a cassette player.

Fast forward to today where I can ask my locally hosted LLM and AI Agent to do or fix whatever comes to mind, including itself.

For a few years in between there I was very much into modding computer cases so all the old worklogs from 20 years ago are kept for nostalgical reasons. The Y2k-bug did get this site slashdotted back in the day and the server did hardly break sweat to everyones great dissappointment. Udat set the standard for how commercial NAS enclosures have looked ever since. Anemone was the 2002 CPL C3 competition winner in Dallas, Texas netting me a tidy $7500 in prizes. In 2006 my modding career ended as the global interest for it died out and I got involved in the game EVE-Online for the following decade. The only exception was Udat2010 that happened while the game was in a lull due to bad decisions by the developers.
