Since I am on an accidental #nostalgia (naustalgia?) trip in trying to find old #MUD things, this one popped up on my Facebook feed which may amuse the #RetroComputing #VAX #VMS and #History of the #Internet folks.
This was UKNet's office in about 1994-1995
I think there are some #SUN and #SGI machines in there too, there definitely were somewhere.

Since the demise of #Radioarchive and the other #Cheops sites, is there anywhere to get some of that old #BBC #Radio4 stuff?
It's kind of ironic that the BBC calls out to people who have preserved their stuff in the past to fill in programme gaps for stuff that they then sell, and yet do their damndest to stop archivists preserving things that have now ended up lost again.
Ever since I lost my old iPod with the 48 hour version of "This Sceptred Isle" on it, I have been trying to find it again. There are plenty of torrents with 0 seeds and no "last seen" info, and I think even the abridged one is gone from Archive.org so unless someone has copies, it's just on its way to becoming yet another lost show, that I partly paid for.
Grrr.

This one might be interesting to anyone interested in computer gaming history.
I spent the last couple of weeks finally finishing a project I started for Bletchley Park about 20 years ago. Recreating the original MUD and MIST on a mirror of the original Essex University system that finally closed in 1991.
Roy Trubshaw and Richard Bartle wrote the first online multi-user game (MUD) on Essex University's DECSystem-10 in 1978 and it ran till I closed it in 1991. I diligently backed everything up so I could potentially recover it one day, but as far as I can see, all the DECSystem-10's went to the great scrapyard in the sky, my backups were mostly stolen when my first museum was stolen, and I had huge issues recovering the Essex BCPL compiler to compile what I had left when I finally got a decent TOPS-10 emulator running on a VAX for Bletchley Park.
One good thing about being an unemployable whistleblower is free time, so I finally hunkered down to some 90 hour weeks and built a software replica of the Essex system I think reflects it well. It's running on a KS10 not a KL10 but I had to let some things slip.
I put the latest known versions of MUD and MIST on it, and miraculously found ROCK too.
So, to meander to the point, if you want to see and relive exactly what online multi user gaming was like from 1978 to 1991, you can go to:
Or:
telnet telnet.dec10.uknet.net
(Port 2653 is available for ISPs that block 23)
And then follow the terse instructions from there.
In those days, you were generally faced with a "." prompt and left mostly alone, so for authenticity, I will leave it at that.
I should note that although they were, in their day, wildly popular games with a relatively huge community, this is a museum peice in snapshot-form at the moment. But I will leave them up and running to see what happens and as a useful reference. I wasn't going to, but Richard seemed happy to have MUD running, and former MIST players wanted it back, so...
Pop this a share if you know folks who might be interested.
** Update: New web client that works better.
** Another update - I added a telnet client.
Historically, the telnet connection is much more true to the traditional experience, where you were connecting to a working machine that didn't care about the MUD Guests, so there were no pointers at all. Just rumour and hearsay :)
If any of you Unix/Security people notice I messed up something, please tell me. I left "^], !sh" open on the telnet link for about 2 minutes and nearly had a heart-attack once I spotted it :D

"Two more minutes of that and I'd be wearing a MAGA hat" - Jimmy Kimmel on the People's State of the Union.
He's not wrong, the Democrats are begging to lose if that's the best they can do as their alternative. @MeidasTouch@mstdn.social fucked up there big time; it felt like a high school protest without any of the energy and inspiration.

It's not shaming him. The grumpy old dude is dead, and has been for 350 years.
It's merely accepting that history isn't complete, and sometimes new things are found about historical figures, and that sometimes your beloved historical "free speech" is pretty abhorrent when you frame it in modern terms.
It's not rewriting history; it's looking at it with the benefit of a few centuries of learning and medical advances in treating bladder stones. All of which I accept that Andrew Doyle is desperate to roll back and erase as quickly as possible.

Dear Customer.
No, you can't turn on your heat pumps because the internet site connected to the app on the phone in your hand is under maintenance.
If our maintenance goes bad you will have to go out into the snow and try to open the frozen box and turn the thing off and on again and set everything up all over again, which will need the remote control which you haven't seen for about 2 years - WHICH IS WHY YOU ARE USING THE BLOODY PHONE TO CONTROL IT LIKE YOU TOLD US TO.
