+jedimatt42 Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 Fest west is only a few weeks away! Looks, like there will be at least a couple prizes! Some good presentations, and hopefully a good time to spin ideas, and share our 4A adventures. -M@ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Speaking of Fest West... Does the Library have WiFi? It would be nice to have our TI's online during the get together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 I know there is wifi, but I wouldn't expect TI devices like esp chips, uds-10, or TIPI to work with terms of service portals typically found on public wifi. But I'm sure we can make something else happen. Worst scenario, we use my phone as a hotspot. -M@ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be able launch lynx from within the TIPI to get satisfy this step. Heck, maybe even from lynx running in a TIPI telnet session? If this doesn't work, you could just ssh in on your Linux laptop with X forwarded back to your display, and run Mozilla to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricLab Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I can test this out at the Hillsboro Library ahead of FestWest if you want because they have the same thing. doing this with TIPI is something I want to be able to do for when I have to travel. The hotel I stay at back east has this sort of WIFI access. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caterpiggle Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Please pardon me for my not update the location on April 28th. So you are not plan to set up at The Lion Hotel in Woodland ? You changed a new location to Vancouver, WA Public Library , is that right ? What is the address at that public library ? Downtown Vancouver or outside somewhere ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You changed a new location to Vancouver, WA Public Library , is that right ? What is the address at that public library ? Downtown Vancouver or outside somewhere ? Correct, as stated in post-#1. We will be at the "Vancouver Community Library" That is the branch location's formal name. But I guess maybe that can be confusing. Here is the address: 901 C St, Vancouver, WA 98660 -M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caterpiggle Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Why move from Lion Hotel to this public library instead ? Any reason why ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Why move from Lion Hotel to this public library instead ? Any reason why ? I'm trying to establish a free, repeatable venue. I'd like the event to be sustainable. Working with a hotel involves making sure they make some money off of us... It wasn't free to the attendees. -M@ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXB Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 This is like Vancouver User Group here in Vancouver Washington. It use a Emergency Rescue Public room. Free is a good price to keep a group going. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caterpiggle Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Thank you for clear up. Just wonder if anyone will bring their prototype 99/8 into our Fest West 2018 ? I know it had been debated before .... (shh...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Omega suggested we have a "Flying Shark" contest at the gathering... so we'll make that happen. -M@ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Bring your own joystick! Your scores could be severely affected using an unfamiliar joystick. I remember back in the 80's I got set up to fail with a bad joystick. I crashed and burned, it wasn't pretty, but Ted never laughed so hard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+jedimatt42 Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 So, I originally thought I'd try and live stream, but I don't think that'll work... I will have my system setup for demo for anyone to demo from if it is compatible. The room has a huge ( HUUUUGGEEE ) projector and screen! And I will video capture any VGA or HDMI output from my system or from your own, if your demo hardware requirements are 'different' My system will consist of: TI-99/4A Speech TIPI PEB { SAMS SidMaster99 TIFDC w/80 track mode { DSK1: gotek hfe (usb thumdrive) DSK2: 3.5" floppy } } I am happy to 'move aside' if you want to demo off your own gear! No worries... we'll call that 'brief intermition' But I cannot capture composite video... so either F18A, my console, or webcam I'll be using a webcam to capture in sync with the video capture during presentations. I don't plan on doing much if any post-production. Just upload to youtube that night. If others want to bring your camera gear (I'm talking to you Omega) and record your own footage, we'll make room! I'm also happy to share my footage for the editing inclined. -M@ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Okay, I can take video and integrate your footage in post production. How is the lighting situation? Should I bring lighting gear too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I bring lighting gear too? I don't know about video lighting... gamble or be prepared... your call. There is natural light in the room to our rear left, but I think that was the north side of the building. -M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega-TI Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Okay, I'm just thinking more to schlep in and out and upstairs. Question: Do you have the ability to record AUDIO at the same time that you are capturing video with the grabber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 Yes, I'm able grab audio. It'll be like my bigfoot play videos on YouTube -M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I have a composite to vga box if you want me to bring it. lmk Yes, I'm able grab audio.It'll be like my bigfoot play videos on YouTube-M@ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jedimatt42 Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 I have a composite to vga box if you want me to bring it. lmk I doubt it is necessary, but better safe than sorry. It would be better than pointing a camera at a composite screen -M@ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to leave early as I've never been there before... if I get there too early, I'll find a place to put on a few extra calories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
