The Story of the Computer. A Technical and Business History. An Apple for the Teacher. I saw in the news a couple of days ago that another Apple-1 microcomputer was sold at auction last week for $815,000. This was less than the record amount of $905,000 paid for an Apple-1 in October 2014 but is still an impressive figure given the downward trend in prices fetched for these rare early microcomputers (as reported in my previous posts on this subject). Help inspire young people. And tagged Apple I. Of Univ...

The Babbage Files: Emacs and (synchronised) org-mode on Android
http://babbagefiles.blogspot.com/2014/12/emacs-and-synchronised-org-mode-on.html
Tips, hacks, and musings. Sunday, December 21, 2014. Emacs and (synchronised) org-mode on Android. Running emacs and org-mode under Android. I’m doing this on my Android tablet - it’s not perhaps as useful on a phone, though it’s not unmanageable. There used to be an Emacs app. For Android in the Google Play store - in fact it’s still there, but the server it used to download its files from is no longer working - and the app was always a bit fiddly to get to work properly. Here’s the fix:. Loads load-his...

Tips, hacks, and musings. Monday, April 23, 2012. History as revealed by Google Ngrams, I: UNIX.

http://babbagefiles.blogspot.com/2014/12/in-praise-of-dejavu-sans-mono.html
Tips, hacks, and musings. Saturday, December 20, 2014. In praise of DejaVu (Sans Mono). After trying many different fonts, at different sizes and so forth, I’ve found that DejaVu. Mono is really the only font which meets all of these criteria. It is really a good-looking font too. Here it is in a few different applications:. DejaVu Sans Mono in mu4e mail. DejaVu Sans Mono in LaTeX doc. DejaVu Sans Mono displaying some Unicode. And…it appears to be the same font used in the terminal in Tron: Legacy. Emacs...
