Pintaguay is one of the 6 programs included in this course :). There was also "Letraguay" a word processor, "Ordenata" a databese program, "Calculata" an excel-like program, "Multimedia" a program like PowerPoint for presentations and also (A few years later) "Webguay" for creating your own website :D. It also included other programs like: Lotus Approach, Lotus 1-2-3, Lotus Organizer, Lotus WordPro and Photofinish.

I just found again a paint program I loved when I was a whippersnapper :). After so many years searching for it, like, I didn't imagine this little program would be so rare! It's called "Pintaguay" and it was a part of a weekly course called "Curso IBM de informática junior" :). So I've installed a VM and here's what I made with it :D.

FTP is a friendly transfer protocol that just happens to also transfer files.

When an FTP client connects to an FTP server, they exchange pleasantries, then sit down with each other have rousing discussions about their lives.

Once they're caught up, the client takes the stack of books it was handed by the user and proceeds to have an hour-long discussion about their contents.

The user is later upset because they've discovered those books were actually ZIP archives that were transferred in ASCII mode.

Okay. I should do an #introductions post.

I'm jackyalciné. I work with software a lot. I run often. I cook. I also track a lot of my life digitally. I have more information at jacky.wtf/press/.

I give talks in tech + social justice + Black history (and intersections thereof). I'm from New York, chilling out West now.

I have a habit for breaking things and putting them back together with a test harness. I'm open to banter but only if it's peaceful and for growth.

Hi.
