Can't tell if my bread is burned, or just very whole wheat. We'll find out in the morning.

"Hey, look!" She said trying to not doomscroll or get into CNN News Junkie Mode.

I got the Atari 800XL up and running! Just seeing it boot up and the keys register was good. Getting software to run from a flashcard was a little dicier, but I got most of it working.

I'm not sure if I can stream from it, though. The real-time video encoder I use does NOT like the video signal, showing it as a black and white semi-scrambled video signal (almost like composite video over component). But it does show it live making it easy to play games.
My elgato shows it fine, but there's a 1 second delay between what the Atari outputs and when it shows on screen making it impossible to play action games.

I think I did this before with my VCR and pumping a signal through composite to an encode AND coax to a TV. I'll figure something out.

Now...well, can't put off CNN News Junkie mode forever....

[Music Before Bed]

I am many different musical songs at any given time. This is one I wish I was more often: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3BhWXi5lzo

[Thoughts Before Bed]

Suddenly thinking about the early 2000s, driving around a very quiet Hyde Park in Austin at 3AM.

Those were good times, with good people, and good vibes. And I miss that very much.
