02:03 sivoais I came across this show called "The Computer Chronicles". Some really funny stuff in here..
02:04 sivoais for example, researchers trying get dolphins to communicate with humans via an Atari ST
02:04 sivoais <https://archive.org/details/computerchronicles>
02:24 pdurbin wow. stuff about the Amiga in there
02:24 * pdurbin had an Amiga 1000
02:24 pdurbin I recently learned that vim was originally developed on an Amiga.
02:38 sivoais yes! And it was based on Stevie for the Atari ST, made by Tim Thompson, who worked at Bell Labs :-) <http://nosuch.com/tjt/>
02:39 sivoais I actually learned that *after* I played with Tim's KeyKit programming language for music <http://nosuch.com/keykit/>

12:32 pdurbin sivoais: http://nosuch.com/tjt/stevie/ has a nice story: "When I recently discovered that VIM is the great-great-great-great-...-grandson of STEVIE, I was quite suprised and of course very pleased to know that my initial seed was so fruitful."
12:32 pdurbin I feel like I try to do this a lot... plant an acorn... see what happens. :)
13:39 sivoais -)
13:40 pdurbin I added a Vagrant file to our project a while back and got a pull request for it yesterday. That kind of stuff.
