Just curious if there are any other folks doing any SUBLEQ programming.
I have written an assembler for a version of it and have been playing with it in an emulator.
I was wondering if anyone else plays around with SUBLEQ?
Now I want to build a hardware based 16 bit OISC cpu computer that runs it.

Even though it is dated this is a good tutorial on soldering.

I can't believe it is October 4th and I have not heard one mention of Sputnik anywhere. Not in the news, not on any radio forums, no where. People seem to forget how much panic that first satellite caused. It was 62 years ago today that the USSR launched Sputnik 1 into orbit.

TYPO -- Did the first Astronaut ham radio QSO from space.

I installed sendmail but can't seem to get it to send any emails. Would like to use a gmail or hotmail account. I've been through a few tutorials but nothing has help. When trying to send an email from the commandline, it seem to hang. Any ideas?

Python 2.7 and Python 3.4 are already on the machine. Both were packaged with the distro (Linux Mint). I want to install Python 3.7 and Idle for it and make it the default. I trashed the machine following some guides online and had to restore the machine from an image backup. All is back to where it was but don't want to go though that headache again. Many online guides are dated. When I looked through the software manager, I see a million different things for Python 3.7. Any help would be most appreciated.

Regular FTP works fine. FTPS (SSL/TLS) and SFTP don't.

Linux Mint 17.2 - 64-bit Cinnamon.

I have an FTP server and a FTP client on my phone. When at home and on Wi-Fi both the server and the client work as they should.

When on the phone data network (Verizon) neither the FTP server or the FTP client works.

I've checked every setting I can find to no avail.

Do the phone data networks (Verizon) block the FTP ports?

I'd really like to get the FTP server and the FTP client to work when away from Wi-Fi.

A point in the right direction would be most appreciated.

I have an old Windows XP box that I want to make virtual image of that I can then transfer to a LinuxMint machine and run in a virtual machine. I have no idea of how to do this and what I've found was old and confusing. Might anyone be able to point me in the right direction?
