Lots of light topic links this week.

• A 50 Year-old Teletype Powered by a Raspberry Pi.  (via)
• Found via the same link: teletype restoration.
• Also found: the rotary VoIP phone.  I’ve made rotaries work again via ATA, but only for inbound.  This, I would love to do.
• How SimCity came to Unix.  It’s available now as Micropolis.
• Which reminds me: Magnasanti, the biggest SimCity 3000 city ever.  (video)
• The Xerox Alto source code has been released.  There’s a nice history at that page.  (via)
• Google Summer of Code 2015 has been announced.
• The great thing about regular expression languages is that there are so many to choose from!
• Computing is women’s work, in 1967.
• An interview with Tom Limoncelli.  (About LISA)
• Why Hypercard had to die.  I taught a Hypercard class to older students during college; it was surprisingly easy to get people with no computer experience to build things.  I miss the old “computer as tool” approach Apple had back then.
• Shall we fork Debian?  (via)
• Hints for writing Unix tools.  (via)
• Vimswitch.
• curl | sh.  (via)
• PSA: don’t run ‘strings’ on untrusted files (via several places)
• An excellent description of the social ‘littlenets‘ concept.  (via)
• Web frameworks from Wal-Mart.  Not a sentence I thought I’d type.

Your unrelated animation of the week: Karateka.  I remember discovering this, and laughing and laughing…
