It’s been a big week here at The Lunduke Journal!
New goodies for your nerdy enjoyment
There are six (count ‘em… six) new exclusives just for subscribers:
Video : 25th Anniversary of FreeDOS -- with the creator of FreeDOS
Video : TRS-80 Model 102 - Hands on with one of the 1st "laptops"
Article : Down the rabbit hole: Making my life private and secure
Article : Ask Lunduke Anything!
Being as you are a full subscriber… enjoy! (Links are to Substsack versions, but all of them are available here on Locals by simply clicking on the "Content" tab in the smartphone app... or "Content" in the web sidebar.)
Update to the weekend schedule
Plus, starting this weekend, we have a small scheduling change:
Normally we’ve published “Linux, Alternative OS, and Retro Computing News” as an article on Saturday… and followed it up with a podcast on the same topic on Sunday.
That was silly.
Starting now, the two are combined together. Just as they always should have been.
Now, every Sunday you will get the same “Linux, Alternative OS, and Retro Computing News” in both article and podcast form… at the exact same time. Which means you can listen to the commentary and read along. Much better.
This opens up Saturday to be — drumroll please — for nerdy comic strips! Huzzah! Because nerdy dad jokes told by pixel art comic strips are good for the soul!
The New-and-Improved Lunduke Journal Weekly Schedule:
Monday - Computer History
Tuesday - Computer & Linux Satire
Wednesday - Podcast (Subscriber Exclusive)
Thursday - Computer History (Subscriber Exclusive)
Friday - Wildcard day! Anything goes!
Saturday - Comics
Sunday - Linux, Alternative OS, & Retro Computer New
Taking classic video requests!
I’m working to publish as many of my past videos as possible — from my back catalog spanning over 15 years — to both Substack and Locals. That way all of you can enjoy them, ad free.
This week, I published three of them (links up top). And next week I plan to publish a couple more.
If you have any requests for past shows of mine that you would particularly like to see made available — just reply to this email (or send me a message over on Lunduke.Locals.com) and I’ll make getting that specific show published a priority. Even if you can’t remember the name of a video… just describe to me the show you remember, that you’d like to see again, and I’ll dig through the archives and get it uploaded!
No more sales! Huzzah!
Thanks to all of you, The Lunduke Journal is in a position where we don’t need to run any more big promotions (read: sales). This is absolutely awesome. And I owe it all to you amazing nerds. Not only for supporting The Lunduke Journal, but for helping to spread the word and to make this such an amazing community.
So… thank you!
On a related note: Even though there are no more sales, you can still subtract the total amount you have spent on Lunduke Journal subscriptions… and apply that towards a Lifetime Subscription. Just seems like the right thing to do, considering how much support all of you have shown!
At some point, I’ll need to stop offering that. But feel free to take advantage of that to save some bucks. If you have any questions (or just need me to look up how much you’ve paid for subscriptions to date), just reply to this email or message me on Locals. I’ll help you out.
Hope you enjoy all the new goodies here at The Lunduke Journal! Because there is a lot more to come!
