How I Found My People
This is the tale of how I finally found my people hiding behind a secure door at an Apple Computer building in Cupertino, CA. (leased by Symantec). At 11 and a half minutes it's my shortest episode to date. Rather than attempt to summarize this funny story, I suggest you give it a listen. I bet you don't see the ending coming!
The image for this episode is a screenshot of code I wrote in response to a CompuServe Turbo Pascal forum question. I'd often respond with some code and then later use the code in an article, or write a unit (Turbo Pascal's way of packaging a library) and upload it to the public domain (the old school original "open source"). I have found samples of code from the early 80s still available online and some of the code went into operating systems and entire generations of products. You'll note my contact info is my CompuServe ID since this back in '88. Like much of my 1980s published code this showed how to interact with systems level stuff from your Turbo Pascal program.
