Made three #Pride variations!
- freesvg.org/black-trans-pride-
- freesvg.org/pride-cripplepunk
- freesvg.org/trans-pride-crippl

and its a good day to remember us Aldercones are all #trans and Aldercone one of the ways we are visible! And that like many trans folks of color, are struggling mastodon.art/@aldercone/114230

The ZX Spectrum was launched 1983 as #Timex Sinclair 2068 computer on the US market. With a #Z80A CPU running on 3.5 MHz this beautiful #homecomputer was capable to draw electric images on a regular telly. With a resolution of 256×192 #pixels even limited to 15 colours it was great for the budget.

Print'n'Plotter sold their #graphics software under the same product name #Paintbox like #Quantel, but for #Sinclair #homecomputers. While #colourClash was a serious limitation in the 80s, it's a #8bit #cgi #glitch effect today available in smartphone camera apps.

Our #vector #graphic #illustration of this legendary #retrocomputer is a form of #digital #lithography. #IT's made in #svg tech and created with #Inkscape, not #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai

Okay, there -- first pass done. github.com/scottlaird/nel-coll is a #NEL (Network Error Log) collector that can listen on HTTP for NEL messages from Chrome, etc and log them to a DB.

It should be at least somewhat DB-agnostic, although I've only tested it with #clickhouse so far.

It also includes otel tracing, which is uglier than I'd like in Go, but seems to be working. I still need to get trace propagation through it to the DB backend working, but I think that's a problem with the backend config, not my code. Probably.

I'm still using #vector for this at home right now; I'll probably cut over tomorrow.

The first Apple Watch was introduced 1995.
It's #contemporary #design is standing out after 30 years, still. While it was deeply integrated into #MacOS System 7.5, it's not one of their digital #gadgets. This #anniversary seems to be perfect to revisit and redraw some shacky lines and seconds in corporate #history of #AppleComputers.

#Apple lost me as #proUser when they rejected my third warranty case in a row.
To rebuild the #AppleWatch from scratch in #vectorgraphics I prefer #Inkscape #SVG #copyleft on #Linux #FOSS over #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai #IP #copyright #software.

Go get the best #vector #designer #app

and you can draw freely #retrocomputer #illustrations like we do.

This cute girl is our colorful interpretation of the first comic drawn on a computer, ever. We've found her in #IvanSutherland's #MIT thesis about #CAD. The #illustration was made 1963 with #Sketchpad in outlines only.
