It started out in bizarro world: Ian skipped this one, and Tony worked
on Atari, Commodore, and Tandy gear (no Apple II!). :)....
Jeff S. tested some of our Tandy hardware.
Anthony and Jason worked on getting a Counterpoint system up. Refresher:
Counterpoint built a few hundred Unix workstations on contract to AT&T
in 1986, AT&T canceled the project, and so these were never released.
The ones we have may be the last ones around. It took some brainstorming
(and some trial-and-error), but this morning one of the workstations
came to life!
Drom stopped by, unexpected, and worked on the Univac.
There was a Don Casselli sighting, but I didn't have a chance to talk to
him (was busy withe museum visitors).
I worked on the museum info kiosks. Big accomplishment: I installed
Apache as our intranet server. Never installed that before, so I learned
something new. Jason provided tech support for a few of my questions.
Jameel donated two micro-form-factor PCs for powering the kiosks. I
wiped them (they had Windows 10) and put on Linux, of course. :) I
installed OpenKiosk on them.
Tony's projects were for the VCF East Software Store.
Jeff S. worked on his MOBIDIC replica which will someday power our
life-size replica.
I'm not sure what Dean did.
Jeff B. helped out with a little of everything.
