Yesterday I used uuencode and uudecode for the first time in ages. It worked!
Before I discovered that I had uudecode available, I tried to use xxd to encode and awk to decode.
But my awk one-liner did everything right except never outputting any zero bytes.
This was on BSD 2.11 on a PDP 11/84... it's a machine called snake and you can use it too, just go to

Anyhow, I successfully computed 100 digits of Pi using BBC Basic!

Hi, I'm Scott, or Fivetoedsloth, or sdl. I've been here for a few years but never really used the account. I suppose its as good a time as any to get started. I'm interested in computing, bicycles, motorcycles, photography with film and chemicals and darkrooms (oh my). There's a turntable and a pile of vinyl to my right. A tuba to my left.

I encountered several server downtime events at previous account, so I plan to use this new account more, and make the old one an alt.

My first hobby was electronics, but then in 1982 I got my first computer - a Commodore 64 - and since then I've been playing with computers for fun almost every day. This also includes messing with hardware projects using e.g. Raspberry Pi or Arduino boards.

If only I were as good at using music gear as I am at acquiring it.
