Luxi Mono was my daily driver for a while, with a patched zero (I added a dot at its center).

Reminded me of Sun consoles.

I prefer the original, from the 3270 terminals.

It's fun when we use software (and prodigious amounts of computation) to emulate the things people complained the most about in old hardware.

Cream is a very distinctive font. It’s perfect for Smalltalk. In the 1980s I remade it for the Apple II to be used in a game. Obviously very little text would fit on the screen it was used for.

Sadly, IBM 3270 is missing from the lot. How can I write professional looking code that lasts a lifetime in anything less?

I also remember some nice ones designed to look like a smoothed VT-220 one.

Remote work is a good replacement for commuting.

I heard something like that about the Concorde at the Air and Space Museum. What killed it was not fuel costs, but cheaper long-distance phone calls and fax machines.

But if a country takes the Chinese approach and pushed inexpensive rail as a way to open new economic opportunities, the idea of flying as your daily commute moves from ridiculous to feasible (if you replace the airplane with a train).

We need better emulators to preserve that. I’ve never experienced DGUX from up close.

He was right, then he was wrong, then right again. He’s currently wrong.
