Anyone doing anything fun for Halloween? I've been too busy to properly decorate this year but I'm at least hoping to get to go to a party.

Um, I'm supposed to put this post here because apparently no one realized Bells and I were an 'item'.  Despite her artillery barrage of subtle flirting and all.  So yeah.

2025 update: we're married.

Due to the laws of the internet I am unable to find a way to send email directly from our server to another without port 25.
So we NEED a relay.
Open to any suggestions. We send less than 50 emails a month typically so if anyone knows a good one reply.
Free is ideal.
Otherwise I will be looking around on my own for a bit still.

OS-tan Fan-Fics, Comics and Fan-Stuff / Re: Bella's OS-tan Artwork Thr...

Man, Mark I DOES look like a Doctor now that you mention it. G15-tan and -kun have very similar fashion tastes I think. Whirlwind-kun would definitely be the idealized 50s dad who's on a bowling league and loves grilling. Possibly on the heat of the thousands of vacuum tubes.

Glad I managed to make guy SAGE look good. I (perhaps incorrectly) mentally picture SAGE-tan having the aura of a wet cat who can blow up the earth, while SAGE-kun feels like a Dr. Strangelove character. I'm better at drawing one than the other.

WAIT. STEWARTSAGE APPROVED SAGE/IBM 728 KISSING???!!!???!!!??!


SCOPE-tan can be "hip" and "with it"! (Much to KRONOS and NOS/VE's protestations.) VMS-tan is definitely in the top five most suffering DEC-tans which is saying a lot.

Mark I looks like a lost 1970s Doctor from Doctor Who.  I really like G-15's overalls.  Whirlwind-kun looks like he's ready for a really keen bowling tournament, I love it.

SAGE-kun is perfect.  FASTRAND-tan has got to have one heck of a laugh.  728-tan and SAGE should kiss.


SCOPE-sama looks great in that outfit tbh.  Poor VMS-tan, her lot in life is to suffer the slings and arrows of so many other annoying OS-tans....

Coolant kegger!  Wooo!

Quote from: Bella on September 25, 2025, 09:09:40 PMUnfortunately I think the characterizations are going to get exponentially hard with Mks. II - IV. The documentation really falls off a cliff (unsurprising, knowing what I've learned about the isolation of Harvard's early CS program).

Well, I appreciate you making the effort for the rest of the Harvards anyway down the way.

Quote from: Bella on September 25, 2025, 09:09:40 PMGENIAC-chan deserves all the friends. Moreso when it's a big doll girl to look up to. I think Mk. I-tan would be a good role model and GENIAC-chan would help remind Mk. I-tan to have fun.

Is there much IRL reason for Mk. I & Whirlwind to be friends? Not really (besides MITs computer program being the only one Harvard paid much attention to, allegedly), but I'm charmed by the idea of them being fascinated with each other as reflections of who they could have been. Whirlwind-tan, if she'd lived up to her original design as a mechanical computer, and Mk. 1-tan, if fate has aligned in a way where her creator has pursued electronics instead. I do think both are grateful that the didn't turn out like the other, but feel a connection in that sense.

Big Doll!  Very important to have a role model that's so totally confident like Mk. I.  As for Whirlwind, if she's going to interact with GENIAC-tan, I figure it makes story sense for them to also be friends.
