- masswerk 5y agoWell, it's … mumble … yet another blog post… :-)
- coolgeek 5y agoBut the post wouldn't exist without https://www.masswerk.at/card-readpunch/ https://www.masswerk.at/card-readpunch/ (btw the reader link on that page is 404 https://www.masswerk.at/card-readpunch/cardreader https://www.masswerk.at/card-readpunch/cardreader)
- masswerk 5y agoThanks for reporting this. (The even more severe problem is that I never got to implementing Fortran and/or Cobol. That is, I do have some parts of this, but I would have to start all over to get into that part of the project again.)
- masswerk 5y agoBTW, I found a use case, proposing it's for learning Hollerith code (or EBCD) the "natural way". Like Babble, but for punch cards! – Where's that sweet VC? What, you mean, I need a business plan, as well? ;-)
