whitequark: For the Russian/Cyrillic-deficient among us (me), are the keywords in this listing essentially a Russian translation of BASIC keywords? https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1341892063638392833
<whitequark>
yep, or even transliterated
<cr1901_modern>
Neat
<whitequark>
like it says СЕЛЕКТ which is just SELECT instead of sth like ВЫБОР

whitequark: just got an email about preordering glasgow; even though it's a bit too late for me for that, congratulations on launch
<whitequark>
andlabs: thanks! we uh, kinda had a split mailing list situation there, so the email went out once the campaign was more than 450% funded
<whitequark>
well, the email to the list where you were subscribed
<andlabs>
huh
<andlabs>
also I bought the cable end you showed me; I'll try cutting and crimping when they arrive
<andlabs>
I should probably buy another floppy cable but I have three now
<andlabs>
(though one of them had a pin filled in so I'm not too sure about that one
<andlabs>
)
<whitequark>
that's intentional i think
<whitequark>
on my floppies, one of the rows is missing a lot of pins
<whitequark>
half the pins to be precise
<cr1901_modern>
Well, half the pins are ground :)
<whitequark>
yeah so it has ... every other ground pin punched out?
<whitequark>
what's up with that
<whitequark>
wait is it a cost reduction measure
<cr1901_modern>
Possibly. I wouldn't recommend it, but you can get away w/ connecting only one of the grounds if you're in a hurry.
<whitequark>
yeah i know, that's how i started out connecting glasgow to floppies
