So many big events coming up around The Lunduke Journal — across all three sites (Lunduke.Locals.com, NerdyEntertainment.Locals.com, & ConservativeNerds.Locals.com).
Big live streams and shows. Themed weeks. Live chats. The works. So rad.
Below are all the details.
The Official Calendars
Every site in The Lunduke Journal family now has an official calendar of events that has the most up-to-date details (available on website, or in the App):
Live Chats
"Live Chat w/Lunduke" - August 3rd (Thursday) at 2pm Central Time
[Live Streamed at Lunduke.Locals.com]
Hang out in a live text chat… accompanied by Lunduke on a live video stream. Right from Locals — either on the website, or in the iOS / Android App.
The Big Shows
We’ve got some mighty big shows scheduled across all three sites in The Lunduke Journal family. The kind of events nerds talk about for a long time to come. Shows like “Linux Sucks”, “Programmers are Evil”, and “macOS Sucks”.
Each of these shows will live stream (with a live chat) on the dates below — and be available, on-demand, immediately after the live-stream.
"The Great Myths of Computer History" - August 12th (Saturday) at 9am Central Time
[Live Streamed & On-Demand at Lunduke.Locals.com]
The world of computing is filled to the brim with myths and legends. Some of them true. Many of them... not. Lunduke spends the full hour telling you which is which… guaranteed, some of this will surprise you.
"Star Trek Sucks" - August 12th (Saturday) at 10am Central Time
[Live Streamed & On-Demand at NerdyEntertainment.Locals.com]
Watch as a life-long fan rants and raves about Star Trek - old and new - for a solid hour. Because, sometimes, a nerd just needs to vent.
“A.I., Smartphones, IoT, & App Stores (The Four Horsemen of the Digital Apocalypse)” - August 26th (Saturday) at 9am Central Time
[Live Streamed & On-Demand at Lunduke.Locals.com]
The end is nigh, the digital apocalypse is at hand. When I am finished, you will be a believer.
“Straight, White, & Nerdy (and darn proud of it)” - August 26th (Saturday) at 10am Central Time
[Live Streamed & On-Demand at ConservativeNerds.Locals.com]
A joyful celebration. While the title may make some bristle… there will not be a single mean-spirited word here. About anyone.
“Linux Sucks 2023” - Date to Be Announced
[Live Streamed & On-Demand at Lunduke.Locals.com]
The 2023 edition of Linux Sucks is going to be one heck of a show. The date and time will be announced in the coming days.
Lunduke.Locals.com Themed Weeks
Roughly once per month, we do a themed week at Lunduke.Locals.com. A chance to focus on one particular aspect of computing.
Linux From Scratch Week - Aug 23rd - Aug 30th
Ever want to build a complete Linux system… from scratch? That’s exactly what we’ll be doing all week long. Join the rest of the nerds in The Lunduke Journal community as we embark on this epic quest. Because doing a challenge like this is always best with some support around.
Windows 3.1 Week - Sep 20th - Sep 27th
Re-live the glory days of the early 1990s as we celebrate Windows 3.1. The good, the bad, & the ugly. How it came into existence, highlights from the time, and how (exactly) it can still be used (and learned from) today.
Text Adventure Week - Oct 18th - Oct 25th
Interactive Fiction (read: text adventures like “Zork”) is a mainstay of computer gaming. Every year, during October, the entries for the Interactive Fiction Competition are made publicly available for judging. During “Text Adventure Week”, The Lunduke Journal will — as a community — be participating in that judging process. Want to spend a week playing text adventure games, sharing them with other nerds, and judging them? This week is for you. Oh, and we’ll also be talking about the history of text adventures as well. Naturally.
Amiga Week - Dec 6th - Dec 13th
AmigaOS. MorphOS. AROS. A full week focused on the Amiga… and everything Amiga-adjacent. The history and the modern day usage. The hardware, the software, emulation, and more.
