Ellen Rodenberg, Kees Koomen, and Maarten Schepers @ Buro Rotterdam
performances from: Topp&Dubio, Kees Koomen and Frans van Lent

EX-MÊKH is the name for the collaboration of visual artists Ellen Rodenberg, Maarten Schepers and Kees Koomen. These artists all have their individual professional practices as an artist but next to that they show their works in their mutual contexts and they try to develop a relation with the spaces in which exhibitions are held. Point of departure for the making of an exhibition is the physical and social nature of the exhibition space. Since 2006 these artists organized twelve exhibitions under the name EX-MÊKH. The exhibitions varied from an intense happening during one evening to a series of short exhibitions within a month. Depending on the specific nature of the venue and the subject of the exhibition visual artists, musicians, writers and designers were invited to participate. LINK (ex)-Mêkh

Bring Your own Beamer

Bring Your own Beamer
Edinburgh | 2014 31 | 01 | 14

Archive: BYOB meets the First Bos en Lommer DuoDisco in a Church Amsterdam 2013

BYOB, or Bring Your Own Beamer is a one-night exhibition inviting different artists from around the country to transform Edinburgh College of Art’s Sculpture Court into a dynamic and enveloping multi-sensory spectacle of moving image, digital art, performance art, sound art and music. BYOB is a commentary on the modern world which often generates overwhelming situations in which one is surrounded by a multiplicity of undulating, fluctuating, pulsating, digitised visuals and information. The exhibition format has been enacted by Rafaël Rozendaal and has been created worldwide since 2010. LINK byobworldwide

Ivan Klyun

Ivan Vasilyevich Klyun,  (born Aug. 20, [Sept. 1, New Style], 1873, Bolshiye Gorki village, Vladimir province, Russia - died Dec. 13, 1943, Moscow, Russia, U.S.S.R.), Russian artist and art theorist who was noted for his association with Russian Suprematist Kazimir Malevich and for his formulation of a theory of colour in painting. Klyun was born into a peasant family. As a young man he studied drawing on his own accord while he earned a living as a bookkeeper. From 1902 to 1907 he attended the studio of Fyodor Rerberg in Moscow, where he became friends with Malevich. During these years he also attended an artist’s studio and took classes in Anatoly Bolshakov’s art school. From 1908 to 1911 Klyun’s work was influenced by the Lithuanian Symbolist painter Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis, and he was drawn to Art Nouveau. In 1913 he turned to Cubism, and some of his best Cubist work dates from 1914 - 5: Gramophone and Ozonator (both 1914) and the relief Landscape Rushing By (1915). Between 1913 and 1917, he participated in most of the important avant-garde exhibitions. A major landmark for Klyun was the “0,10” exhibition in Petrograd (now St. Petersburg) during the winter of 1915 - 16, where he exhibited Cubist and nonobjective sculpture (including Cubist at Her Dressing Table, 1915, presumed destroyed). Influenced by Malevich, Klyun in 1916 created his first Suprematist compositions, and in 1917 he created a series of one-, two-, and three-coloured Suprematist works. He became a member of Malevich’s Supremus Group. LINK britannica

Sonja Hinrichsen

This large-scale Snow Drawing piece was created by San Francisco-based artist Sonja Hinrichsen with the help of generous assistance of 5 volunteers on Rabbit Ears Pass, Colorado. Her work is like a snow version of Amazing Sand Drawings on California Beaches by Jim Denevan. It’s amazing how many hours were spent creating something so big yet impermanent as these drawings. “I’m not so into making art that lasts,”  “The world is saturated with manmade projects. I don’t think I need to add more things to the planet.” On the other hand, Sonja’s work is not as impermanent as it seems. Eventually the snow will melt, but the pictures are here to stay. LINK

Antje Hanebeck

Antje Hanebeck (born in Braunschweig in 1968), master-class graduate at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts and currently assistant professor at the Chair of Photography, proves to be an unusual chronicler of contemporary urban phenomena. The subject of architectural innovation, encompassing as it does buildings celebrated in our era which at the same time mirror the logistics specific to them, informs on an elemental plane the aesthetic research conducted by the author in that it is the red thread running through her oeuvre. Photographs of architecture are legion and go back to the beginnings of the medium; however, Hanebeck is not concerned with the documentary approach. On the contrary, she uses her motif as the starting-point for complex aesthetic reflection, which is transformed into image through, and by the agency of, photography. LINK antjehanebeck

Katja Mater

Katja Mater's (1979, the Netherlands) work originates from a meta-perspective and confronts the possibilities and impossibilities of photography. Rather than documenting frozen moments in time, she records the numerous ways we can look at and think about photographic images. She turns the medium on itself, and in doing so, disturbs its status of accuracy. Instead of looking through photography as a transparent medium, Mater's work makes you look at photography itself. By visualizing areas in which technique yields images different from human perception she shows the intangible character of the medium, using photography as a creating rather than a documenting medium. LINK

Lawrence Weiner

@ Stedelijk Museum

Islands in the Storm, 1990

Weiner began his career as an artist as a very young man at the height of Abstract Expressionism. His debut public work/exhibition was at the age of 19, with what he called Cratering Piece. An action piece, the work consisted of explosives set to ignite simultaneously in the four corners of a field in Marin County, California. That work, as Weiner later developed his practice as a painter, became an epiphany for the turning point in his career. His work in the early 1960s included six years of making explosions in the landscape of California to create craters as individual sculptures. He is also known during his early work for creating gestures described in simple statements leading to the ambiguity of whether the artwork was the gesture or the statement describing the gesture: e.g."Two minutes of spray paint directly on the floor.." or " A 36" x 36" removal of lathing or support wall..." (both 1968). In 1968, when Sol LeWitt came up with his Paragraphs on Conceptual Art, Weiner formulated his "Declaration of Intent" (1968):
1. The artist may construct the piece. 2. The piece may be fabricated.
3. The piece need not be built.
Weiner created his first book Statements in 1968, a small 64-page paperback with texts describing projects. Published by The Louis Kellner Foundation and Seth Siegelaub, "Statements" is considered one of the seminal conceptual artist's books of the era. Since the early 1970s, wall installations have been Weiner's primary medium, and he has shown at the Leo Castelli gallery. LINK Stedelijk

William Klein

An international jury at Photokina 1963 voted William Klein one of the 30 most important photographers in the medium\'s history. He became famous in Europe immediately upon publication of his strikingly intense book of photographs, Life Is Good for You in New York - William Klein Trance Witness Revels, for which he won the Prix Nadar in 1956. Klein\'s visual language made an asset out of accident, graininess, blur, and distortion. He has described his work as \"a crash course in what was not to be done in photography.\" Klein employed a wide-angle lens, fast film, and novel framing and printing procedures to make images in a fragmented, anarchic mode that emphasized raw immediacy and highlighted the photographer\'s presence in the scene. LINK foam

IBM System/34

File:IBM System34.IsettAcres.jpg
IBM System/34 (model 5340)

The IBM System/34 was an IBM midrange computer introduced in 1977.[1] It was withdrawn from marketing in February, 1984.[1] It was a multi-user, multi-tasking successor to the single-user System/32. Most notably, it included two very different processors, one based on System/32 and the second based on older System/3. Like the System/32 and the System/3, the System/34 was primarily programmed in the RPG II language. One of the machine's interesting features was an off-line storage mechanism that utilized "magazines" - boxes of 8-inch floppies that the machine could load and eject in a nonsequential fashion. Borrowing mainframe features such as programmable job queues and priority levels, the System/34 ran on 64K of memory.

Physical appearance and requirements

The System/34 5340 System Unit resembled a huge washer-dryer in appearance, and was noisy, due to its internal cooling fans. It had several access doors on both sides. Inside, were swing-out assemblies where the circuit boards and memory cards were mounted. It weighed 700 pounds and used standard household 220V power. The system cost US$100,000-plus.

IBM abbreviations

IPL - Initial Program Load

Starting or restarting the system. This acronym was pronounced eye-pee-ell and was used as a verb ("IPL the system") with past tense ("then we IPLed") and present tense ("while we were IPLing") and so forth - as well as a noun ("after the next IPL.")

APAR—Authorized Program Analysis Report

An APAR announced the entry of each new System/34 bug into the IBM process. If it was a genuine problem, the details would be sent for resolution to Rochester (for system problems) or Menlo Park / Rayners Lane (for application problems in MMAS, CMAS or DMAS). Eventually the APAR would be fixed by a corresponding PTF (see below).

PTF - Program Temporary Fix

IBM would distribute bug fixes on diskettes called PTF diskettes. By applying PTFs, the user could address software problems. When the next release was issued (S/34's last release was Release 9 in 1981) the old PTFs were incorporated into the release update diskettes the user received, and the old diskettes became useless. Since PTFs were only temporary in the sense that they were superseded by later releases of SSP, using the name "PTF" was considered odd.

F1, I1, S1-S3, and M1.01 - M2.10

These are proper names given to system equipment.

F1 is the Fixed Disk (the hard drive.) I1 is the Diskette Drive. S1, S2, and S3 are the three single Diskette Slots (if a magazine drive is connected.) M1.01-M1.10 are diskette slots 1 through 10 on Magazine 1. M2.01-M2.10 are diskette slots 1 through 10 on Magazine 2.

SSP, The System/34 Operating System

SSP ("System Support Program") was the only operating system of the S/34. It contained support for multiprogramming, multiple processors, 36 devices, job queues, printer queues, security, indexed file support, and fully installed, it was about 5 MB.

Language compilers

The S/34 had five: RPG II, COBOL, BASIC, FORTRAN, and Assembler. RPG was cheaper, created compact code sizes, and became the best-seller. Cobol was popular in the business community. Fortran is not very practical for data processing purposes, and while Basic was nice, it was implemented as an interactive 40K session. Assembly language is efficient, but it is a little too easy to accidentally create a processor check on the System/34.

One feature of the S/34 was that Basic and Fortran were exclusive. One could not run a Fortran program on the system when running Basic, nor vice versa. Fortran was certainly not a popular language, so one would suppose this microcode level problem was only annoying to academia.

The implementation of Basic on the S/34 is very close to that of the System/36, the System/23, the System/38, and the AS/400 (iSeries.) The implementation of RPG II on the System/34 is similar to the RPG II used on the System/36, the System/370 and the System/390, but not like the RPG III and subsequent RPG compilers for the iSeries.

SDA - Screen Design Aid

This application allows the operator to build screen formats or menus online. Screen formats are very much like what Visual Basic and Access call "forms." Command keys can be enabled/disabled. Input fields, output fields, and constants can be created and conditioned. Conditions (in RPG these are called indicators) can cause fields to disappear, change colors, and so forth.

SORT - The system sort utility

SORT has one to eight input files, which may be of any valid record length. It has one output file, of any stated length, which may contain from zero to 8 million-plus records.

A sort can contain entire records or just 3-byte addresses which point to records in an associated file. This was called an address-out file or ADDROUT. When using an Addrout, the program read in these 3-byte addresses and then fetched associated records from the master file.

A programmer who wanted the benefits of a System/38-style logical file would use an Addrout with a RETAIN-S disposition:

// RUN

After the program finishes, the Addrout file doesn't exist anymore. It has been "scratched," or set to RETAIN-S, meaning the system auto-deletes it.

SEU - Source Entry Utility

This looks like a DOS-era text editor. SEU allows data entry on a line-by-line basis. Special forms are used to assist the operator in keying RPG programs or other types of form-based languages (WSU, Sort, SDA, etc.)

WSU - Work Station Utility

This was an RPG-like language that ran on the S/34. It was focused on data entry type programs. WSU was free, but it wasn't particularly well-received because it was so limited.

Terminals, displays, screens, workstations and monitors

An operator sat in front of a device that vaguely resembles today's PC, except the monitor was small, expensive (US$2,000), low-resolution (24x80) and the available colors were green and bright green. Colour screens (7 colours) arrived later.

For preparing data input diskettes, as a successor to card punches, there was a special workstation called a "dual display" (3742) which employed a system of mirrors to split a horizontally mounted screen into two 12x80 displays. Two users sat on either side of it with two keyboards and two diskette drives.

IBM colors

Before 1984, the 5251 monitor predominated - it was US$2,000 and what IBM called "dual color" (green and bright green). However, by 1984, the IBM 3180 terminal helped usher in the age of IBM Color - seven colors (pink, red, blue, yellow, green, white, and turquoise.) By 1984, the price of the 3180 terminals was under US$2,000, though there was a graphics-capable terminal. By 1986, there was another type of "color" monitor - instead of green, the displayed characters were yellow ("amber," in IBM-speak).

Programming IBM colors

Programming colors did not require a new screen programming language, because the implementation was completely at the hardware level. A protocol called the IBM 5250 Data Stream interpreted field attributes such as blinking, non-display, high intensity, reverse image, underline, and column separators and was used in combination to create colors. Normal text was presented as green on a 3180 color terminal, but high intensity became white. Column separators became yellow. Blinking became red. Underlined text was presented as blue. High intensity blinking became pink. High intensity column separators became turquoise.

The five lights

On a 5251 type terminal, there were five lights to watch for:

(1) System Available light. If lit, this terminal is connected to the S/34 and is receiving information from it.

(2) Message Waiting light. Other users, and the system itself, can send messages to workstations. If lit, there is at least 1 message that has not been seen yet. When a program ends or when the user signs on, the message(s) will be shown.

(3) Insert. The Insert key has been pressed. Characters after the cursor while shift right when text is keyed. Press Insert again to cease Insert Mode.

(4) Caps Lock light. The Caps Lock key has been pressed. All keys pressed will be uppercase. Press Caps Lock again to unlock.

(5) Keyboard Shift light. The Shift key is being pressed. The key pressed simultaneously will be uppercase.

The 5251 and 5291 terminals used an 83-key keyboard with a similar key arrangement to the IBM PC 5150. Later 5250-compatible terminals used a 122-key or 102/103-key keyboard. There was a special terminal and keyboard for Katakana, a syllabary of the Japanese Language

Configuring devices

Printers and workstations had a series of binary switches known as "dipswitches" for configuration. The binary OFF settings, zero ("0") and one ("1") were used to switch back and forth internally. In U.S. English and UK English, the British use the pound sterling ("£") and the Americans use the dollar ("$"). A switch could be set up on printers and monitors where in the zero position the British value would display or print. In the one position the American value would display or print. .

Setting the address

Up to 32 devices could be configured on a System/34, using four lines numbered from 0 to 3. A line was defined as a series of twinaxial cables attached to devices with IN and OUT ports. Eight devices could be configured per line; these were numbered 0 through 7.

Three binary switches on every device were used for the terminal's address (the physical designation of a particular terminal on a particular line.) Sometimes, the switches were numbered 1, 2, and 4. In order to set an address, simple addition was used:

Zero is all settings off. One is the 1 setting on. Two is the 2 setting on. Three is the 2 and 1 settings on. Four is the 4 setting on. Five is the 4 and 1 settings on. Six is the 4 and 2 settings on. Seven is all settings on.

Two devices can never have the same address on one line. Once the addresses were set, the system could be configured to use them.

Configuring using CNFIGSSP

The CNFIGSSP procedure was used to configure the system, including the devices. Each device is assigned a two-character ID. The first letter must be alphabetic; the second must be alphameric. The system also reserved certain IDs; the device can't be called I1 or F1, for example. I1 is the name of the diskette drive; F1 is what the system calls the hard drive (stands for "fixed disk," since it's not a removable disk pack.)

Use CNFIGSSP to place devices on the line/address map; identify the particular IBM printer or terminal model; assign characteristics such as console, alternate console, subconsole; and to name the printer's subconsole.

To apply CNFIGSSP, the system must be dedicated (no other users logged on or programs running.) The system must be IPLed (rebooted.) When IPL finished, the new devices would appear on the status display.

S/34s had two processors, the Control Storage Processor (CSP), and the Main Storage Processor (MSP). The MSP was the workhorse, based on System/3 architecture; it performed the instructions in the computer programs. The CSP was the governor, a different processor with different semi-RISC instruction set, based on System/32 architecture; it performed system functions in the background. Special utility programs were able to make direct calls to the CSP to perform certain functions; these are usually system programs like $CNFIG which was used to configure the computer system. These two processors worked in tandem.

Clock speed of the CPUs inside a System/34 was fixed at 1 MHz for the MSP and 4 MHz for the CSP. In today's PC-based world, the S/34 was the computational equivalent of a 16 to 20 MHz intel 80386 microprocessor.

Memory and disk

The smallest S/34 had 48K of RAM and an 8.6 MB hard drive. The largest configured S/34 could support 256K of RAM and 256MB of disk space. This cost over US$200,000 back in the early 1980s. S/34 hard drives contained a feature called "the extra cylinder," so that bad spots on the drive were detected and dynamically mapped out to good spots on the extra cylinder... so technically while the system did not recognize more than 256MB, slightly more space than this existed.

Typical System/34 offerings would include:

  • IBM 5211 - A band printer rated at somewhere around 160 lines per minute (LPM).
  • IBM 4214 - An early dot-matrix printer rated at 200 or so characters per second (CPS).

System security

There are three types of System/34 security: the badge reader that almost nobody ever bought, so it isn't discussed here; password security; and resource security.

Password security was used to begin a session at a computer terminal. Unless security was inactive, a correct password must be entered to begin.

The System/34 sign on looked like this:

* SIGN ON                                W1
* USER ID......... ________
* PASSWORD........ ____
* MENU (OPTIONAL). ______
* LIBRARY......... ________

The PROF ("Profile") procedure was used to work with User IDs and passwords. The user profile contains a 1-to-8 character alphanumeric User ID, a 4 character alphanumeric password, a code for the user's security rating—M (Master Security Officer), S (Security Officer), O (System Operator), C (Subconsole Operator), or D (Display Station Operator) -- and a number of other default settings.

The PRSRCID ("Profile Resource Security By User ID") procedure was used to establish security ratings for file and library objects. Access levels of O (Owner), G (Change), R (Read), E (Execute) or N (None) could be granted for a user to a particular resource.

The printed disk catalog (VTOC, Volume Table of Contents) displayed all secured objects with the notation 3 as being secured.

Files and libraries

SSP provides for two different data objects called files and libraries. Files contain records, almost always with a fixed record length. Libraries contain programs which can reference and access these files. SSP contained more than 60 different commands that allowed operators to create, delete, copy, edit/change, and secure files and libraries.

Disk space metrics

Disk space on the System/34 was organized by "blocks." One block = 2560 bytes. A high-end system would ship with about 90,000 blocks of disk space available. System objects could be allocated in blocks or records, but internally it was always blocks.

Program sizes

Since the S/34 ran "16-bit" programs, the largest program that could be compiled and run was 64K. Most were not nearly that large. Since memory addresses were stored in 16 bits, a 64K program was often a giant monster RPG screen program with 3,000 lines of code, five or six files, and forty-odd array/table entries.

<<Read this section with caution; much more than 48K RAM was available on S/34; the process to squeeze a program into a smaller executable size was called overlaying.>>

A 64K computer program can run on a S/34 when only 48K of RAM is available by using a process called caching. The system uses a cache or workspace on the hard drive to contain portions of the programs currently running. Loading the whole program into the cache area and then moving it piecemeal in and out of storage was a system function performed by the CSP. The MSP performed the instructions in the computer program. Insufficient memory makes the system run slower, since the disk speed was only about as good in the 1980s as PC drives are today, and modern "burst mode" rates were unheard of.

SPOOL is an acronym for Simultaneous Peripheral Operations On Line.

The need for spooling

Computer printers are slow. On the S/34, computer programs could write data to the printer much faster than the printer can print and there can be more than one program writing to a printer at the same time.

How spooling works

To allow the system to manage the problem, system components called "writers" and "spool files" were developed. A writer is a small system program that reads the spool file, matches a particular printer with a ready-to-print spool object, and begins sending instructions to the printer. It is a two-way process; the printer sends a signal back to the system when it is ready for more work. In order to avoid mixing up data from two spool files, the first report to finish and close is traditionally printed first.

Sometimes the operator requires a dedicated, live printer - for example, when printing receipts for customers in real time, don't use spooling. Use the PRINTER OCL statement to declare the symbolic print job to be unspooled (SPOOL-NO.)

Forms numbers

When the operator prints paychecks, it is important that paycheck information printed on checks forms and not on plain paper; likewise, a regular printout should never print on expensive check forms. Therefore, forms numbers were created. A forms number is a one-to-four-character alphameric field that programs and operators use. Programmers use the PRINTER OCL statement as follows:

When the spool writer is ready to process the checks spool entry, this message appears at the subconsole:

SYS-1404 OPTIONS (012 )

By replying 1 to this message AFTER changing the forms, the operator could be sure that no other reports on standard stock would print on the checks.

Forms alignment

The expensive check forms must be perfectly aligned or all of the numbers won't fit in the little boxes. Therefore, an alignment can be performed using the PRINTER OCL statement:

The subconsole will now get this message when ready to print checks:

SYS-5825 OPTIONS (012 )

By replying this message AFTER aligning the forms, the operator could be sure that the check information didn't print until the forms were properly aligned.

Jobs and job queues

In S/34 parlance, a job is any task the computer has been asked to do. A job has a job number, which for a program is the Workstation ID plus the time in HHMMSS format. For a printout, there's a spool job, which is "SP" and a four-digit suffix which is incremented by 1.

Sometimes a needed report should be run in the background so as not to delay the users. If the parameters of the report are defined, it shouldn't occupy the user's time or occupy that valuable area on the CRT. For this reason, the Job Queue was invented. Imagine the program standing in line waiting to use the computer processor. A job queue has a size (the number of jobs that can be in line) and a value for concurrency (how many lines there are, or, more accurately, job queue jobs that can run at the same time.)

The JOBQ OCL statement causes the job queue job to be initialized, but it won't begin immediately if there's a lineup. This allows some greater control of system resources.

The EVOKE OCL statement also causes the job to run in the background, but EVOKE causes the called module to start immediately as a new job, while the procedure that EVOKEd the called module continues to run. There is no delay as there can be when JOBQ is called.

Program attributes - MRTs, SRTs, NRTs and NEPs

MRT = Multiple Requestor Terminal program. SSP could attach up to 7 terminals to a program at once. Any operator could start the program at their terminal, then other operators' terminals would be attached when they selected the same program. The maximum number of terminals to be serviced was controllable by the programmer.

SRT = Single Requestor Terminal program. Not a MRT.

NRT = No Requestor Terminal program. Started at a terminal, the NRT releases the requesting terminal and continues. This is similar to an MS-DOS TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) program. By definition, any program that was EVOKEd or submitted to the JOBQ was a NRT.

NEP = Never Ending Program. This was typically an interactive MRT program that would wait after all terminals disconnected until some terminal reconnected, avoiding initiation overhead. This was commonly used to allow large programs to be implemented as a chain of small programs that would pass the terminals from one to another while remaining ready to continue processing for other terminals and/or subsequent transactions. NRT programs could also be NEPs if written to loop and wait for some condition indicating there was work to be done. NEP programs normally did not end until system shutdown, unless written to recognize some special terminate condition.

Other object types

Cobol, Fortran, and RPG generated object code (type O). Basic was interpreted only; a compilation utility called BASICS created subroutine code (type R). Basic programs could be saved as sources for compatibility with other computers, but the project's text was preserved in the subroutine (unless the programmer used the LOCK parameter to keep it private.)

Procedures, which use OCL to start programs and assign resources to them, are type P.

Source members for all objects are type S, with the exception of Basic as above-specified.

DFU programs generated subroutine (R) code. So did WSU programs.

Screen formats generated object code.

Menus generated object code. A menu is simply a very specific screen format with a companion message member suffixed with two pound signs ("##") to contain the action to be taken when the associated number was chosen. System/34 menus allowed the operator to choose numbers between 1 and 24. On the System/34, a clever programmer could customize a menu using screen format language, but, caution, calling a customized menu that does not conform to exacting system requirements can cause a program error.

Message members generated object code that could be called by a program using the MEMBER OCL statement:

Passing a four-digit code to an assembler routine returned the associated text. It was also a clever way for the computer programmer to push up to 10,000 74-byte constants out of program space.

Non-programmers use of the computer

The non-programmer could create a short sequence of file and input specifications and store them as a source member. A component called Data File Utility could then be used to generate on-screen displays for creating and edit files and print reports. It was not quite the equal of say, Access 2007, but in twenty minutes a file and a report could be designed Alternatively, define the data files and have the system generate a simple report program, using the Create Auto Report command.

Popular System/34 applications

MAPICS, the Manufacturing and Planning Integrated Control System, was a popular S/34 application, as were CMAS and DMAS II, all developed at IBM's offices in Menlo Park.

The System/34 Text Editor was a precursor to the IBM Office programs of the future System/36 (DisplayWrite, IDDU, Query, and so forth.)

There was a version of POP (Programmer/Operator Productivity) that ran on a System/34. POP became extremely popular on the System/36 because of its browse and search functions for libraries and files and its easy point-and-shoot interface.

There was a games library called FUNLIB that contained games like Star Trek, Football, Hangman, Coffee, Grand Prix, and a status demo program called STDEMO that graphically displayed currently running programs.

The Britz Word Processing System was a general-purpose text editor that had mailmerge, label, and basic file editing capabilities.

System/34 magazines

Programmers read about the System/34 in monthly magazines like DataNetwork and News 34/38. Subscription prices were high (around US$8-US$12 per copy) but most Data Processing departments had a subscription. Issues were highly prized amongst programmers for their programming tips.

Migrating to the System/36

From 1984 until the mid-1990s, businesses began the process of shutting down their S/34s and moving to twice-as-powerful System/36s. The two machines were not object-code compatible; but source code from a System/34 would compile and go on a System/36.

Some System/34 hardware was incompatible with the System/36. An example is the 5252 Dual Display Station, which could not be configured on a S/36

Lincoln and Darwin

[Lincoln and Darwin: “They matter because they wrote so well.”]

Adam Gopnik sees Abraham Lincoln & Charles Darwin as writers.

Angels and Ages: A Short Book about Darwin, Lincoln, and Modern Life by Adam Gopnik. Vintage, 235 pp.

Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin, born on the same day in 1809, changed the world with their actions and their ideas. That they continue to influence our lives and perspectives today proves their historic and even evolutionary importance. And it actually all rests on their writing ability, argues Adam Gopnik: “They matter because they wrote so well.”

Gropnik Angels and Ages

In Angels and Ages, an engrossing history and analysis of Lincoln and Darwin as writers, Gopnik calls Darwin’s On the Origin of Species “a long argument meant for amateur readers.” But the book is “so well written,” he adds, “that we don’t think of it as well written, just as Lincoln’s speeches are so well made that they seem to us as natural as pebbles on a beach.”

Both loners, Lincoln and Darwin cut through the cant of their day with original thought expressed in compelling sentences. This impels Gopnik to define strong prose, maybe nailing its definition, at least for idea-driven nonfiction:

Writing well isn’t just a question of winsome expression, but of having found something big and true to say and having found the right words to say it in, of having seen something large and having found the right words to say it small, small enough to enter an individual mind so that the strong ideas of what the words are saying sound like sweet reason.

We also get to know Lincoln and Darwin as men whose identities seem inseparable from their efforts to communicate. The shrewd Lincoln, who had a “tragic sense of responsibility,” was an unbeliever who evolved during the Civil War toward an “agonized intuitive spirituality.” The hypersensitive Darwin possessed a “calm domestic stoicism,” his own private code, but worried about the effect of his ideas on the faithful—especially on his beloved wife, who was grieving their loss of their daughter.

Lincoln served as an avenging angel who loosed a bloody sword, but his puzzled spirituality in response seems a distilled expression of our species’ very essence—as does the transcendent goal of his tragic bloodletting, justice for all, black and white alike. Darwin also is emblematic, an avatar of our species’ restless spirit to know itself. Darwin’s genius cracked the foundation of the church, as he feared it would. Yet his insights did not destroy religion, broadly defined. He actually deepened religion’s animating mystery, human nature: what is it? where did it come from? why are we mostly good? why does evil exist?

Gopnik fulfills his subtitle’s “about modern life” promise with his own stimulating, hard-won insights about human nature. Take this aside:

Marriages are made of lust, laughter, and loyalty, and though the degree of the compound alters over time, none can survive without a bit of each one. We can usually infer the presence of all three from the presence of one; people are loyal to each other because of remembered pleasures, and they remember social pleasures because they remember sexual ones. All good marriages are different, but they are all alike in having the three elements in some kind of functioning, self-regulating balance.

Adam Gropnik

[Adam Gopnik: author, essayist, journalist]

Well, who’d care to argue?

I knew Gopnik previously only through his New Yorker essays on diverse topics. Angels and Ages and his recent fierce essays on Trump, such as “The Dangerous Acceptance of Donald Trump,” have cemented my admiration of him as a writer, a thinker, and a passionate citizen of our troubled republic. Speaking of which, I’ve lately become a fan, as well, of Amy Davidson, who also contributes brilliantly to the magazine’s election coverage on its web site. Gropnik and Davidson have joined New Yorker film critic Anthony Lane on my short list of favorite nonfiction writers now working. Lane has informed and amused me for years, and though his wit is hard to emulate, his parenthetical asides influence my own syntax.

In its own casual, learned asides, Angels and Ages is evidence of the benefits of lifelong reading that stocks one’s mind and feeds one’s intellect. What remains is what you learned—and what you end up saying or writing. Gopnik’s book also models deep inquiry for the project at hand. And also of just trying to figure out life for oneself from experience. A modest enough task in the wake of Lincoln and Darwin, it’s a task inescapably and essentially human.

[Gopnik excerpted Angels and Ages in an essay for Smithsonian.]

Responding to a question on Charlie Rose’s “Green Room” show, Adam Gopnik listed his five desert island books:

• James Boswell’s Life of Johnson because it’s the “most entertaining biography in the language.”

• Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations because it’s the “most perfect work of art of any novel in the language.”

• J.D. Salinger’s Nine Stories because they are the “most perfectly formed of American stories.”

• James Thurber’s The Thurber Carnival, his anthology of his writing because “it’s the first book I loved, at the age of seven, and it continues to illuminate and inform what I try to do.”

• And the works of Shakespeare because “if you have all of Shakespeare you have all of life.”

  • I really like the way Gropnik went about choosing his desert island books, with especial emphasis on the Shakespeare, with which I would have to concur particularly. His book sounds like a fascinating read. Thanks, as always, Richard, for your insightful “reveal.”

    • Thank you for reading and commenting, Victoria. I like his list too!

      • Funnily enough, perhaps, my mind played tricks on me when I first had your title “Two Titans of Prose” in my mind and first saw the picture. I thought, “Oh, Abraham Lincoln and Walt Whitman–I guess I’m not really familiar with Whitman after all; I can’t easily recall any notable prose he wrote.” Then I did a double take and recognized Charles Darwin, helped by your caption. Two famous white-bearded literary entities somewhat resembling each other. Possibly my mind (and my memory) is being played tricks on by the heat!

  • Megan says:

    Great post. It’s actually Adam Gopnik, not Gropnik.

  • J.V. Wylie says:

    Thanks for another great post Richard. It’s interesting that Gopnik thinks much of Darwin’s impact was due to his writing ability and that Lincoln more “indispensable” because natural selection was “in the air” (cf.:A.R.Wallace) and would have been accepted with time anyway. I totally agree that Gopnik is the most interesting commentator around.

    • Richard says:

      To a minor extent, perhaps, Gopnik was working his journalistic angle. Darwin’s ideas are the thing, right? But his point is that Darwin’s writing ability facilitated the fast and continued spread of his work. Hard to believe how radical he was in his day.

  • owen1936 says:

    Richard, I share your enjoyment of Gopnik and Davidson’s work. I first encountered Gopnik in Paris to the Moon several years ago. I would not have linked Lincoln and Darwin by their writing abilities. Thanks to him and to you for opening my eyes.

Pontifical Low Mass

The Emeritus-bishop of Christchurch NZ, the Most Reverend Basil Meeking, is once again visiting Australia and will be celebrating some of the Rites of the Holy Week Triduum at Saint Aloysius' Church, Caulfield North (Archdiocese of Melbourne).

In the adjacent photographs, His Lordship is depicted offering Pontifical Low Mass at the Caulfield Church, assisted by Fathers Glen Tattersall and Colin Marshall.  These photographs were taken by Dr Chris Steward and are the copyright of the Catholic Community of the Blessed JH Newman.

A chasuble made by the Saint Bede Studio is being worn by the Bishop.  It is in the Saint Philip Neri style and made from purple dupion silk.

A timetable of the Holy Week Liturgies at Caulfield, celebrated in the Extraordinary Form, may be found here.

The Subject was Roses

Twice a year, the Church breaks the tone of its penitential seasons by the use of rose-coloured vestments.  Rose-coloured vestments were never commonplace and they still are not.  Nevertheless, you will find various pronouncements these days (usually on websites) about what the real or authentic shade of rose is which is to be used for vestments.

Newsflash: there is no official shade of Rose designated by the Church, nor has there ever been.  The reason for this is rather simple: only in the last century did the process of dyeing fabric become sufficiently sophisticated to ensure that much the same shade of a colour emerged from one batch of fabric dyeing to another.  Previous to that, dyes were derived from plants etc., made up with a great deal of labour.

Many different colours have been deemed by the Church as acceptable as liturgical rose.  Some of these are a salmon shade; some a silvery-pink, almost mushroom-colour; some close to what we would call Bishop's purple or fuchsia; and some red with overtones of gold.

Another thing is certain: Bubblegum Pink is not Rose, nor has it been a traditional variation for use on these days.   Whilst not intending to get into the argument as to whether the use of a such a vibrant pink is a fitting colour for a man to wear,  "Bubblegum Pink" certainly manifests a lamentable lack of liturgical good taste.  Sadly, pink-coloured vestments, purporting to be Rose, are becoming increasingly commonplace and now even appear at Papal Masses.

At an old post on the Blog, The New Liturgical Movement, we find a number of interesting vestments in that shade of rose commonly found in Italy in centuries past: a reddish colour with overtones of silver.  Go there and take a look.  The same article also shews the considerable variety of older rose-coloured vestments, in use throughout Europe.  Often, embroidered flowers on such vestments was a device used to enhance the "rosiness" of the vestment.

Last week, we featured a vestment of a dark form of Rose  This week, a  new vestment (see above picture) made from a silk damask more in the Baroque tradition.  It is a shade between crimson and copper, but is also interwoven with a subdued gold thread.  As a result, such a vestment looks more rose in some lights, more golden in others.  The orphrey of this chasuble is formed from a dupion silk in a complementary shade of rose.

Rosa Aurora

As Laetare Sunday approaches, we are pleased to feature a new chasuble commissioned of the Studio by a priest of the Archdiocese of Sydney.  This vestment, in a modified form of the Saint Philip Neri style, has been named Rosa Aurora.

It features a variety of complementary colours, reminiscent of the magnificence of the sky at Sunrise.  Thus the base colour is a very dark rose in a silk fabric which has almost a velvety appearance. Unfortunately, the unusual colour of this fabric is not well captured in the photograph.

The chasuble is ornamented with a lighter shade of rose: a dusty pink, outlined with a braid in burgundy and old gold.  A special feature of this chasuble is a vesica or medallion taken from an early twentieth century Belgian Rose-coloured chasuble, which has the words (in Latin): "Rejoice with gladness, be not troubled".

The chasuble is lined in dupion silk the crimson-colour of rose petals.

The Pugin Bicentenary Mass at Ramsgate:
Saint Bede Studio Vestments

A Solemn Mass in the Extraordinary Form was celebrated yesterday 1st March at Saint Augustine's Church, Ramsgate to commemorate the Bicentenary of the birth of Augustus WN Pugin (see previous post). The famed architect is buried in a chantry chapel within the church.

As an offering towards the restoration of Pugin's own church, the Saint Bede Studio presented to Saint Augustine's a chasuble set marking the Bi-centenary. The chasuble (see adjacent pictures) was used for the first time yesterday at the Bicentenary Mass.

This chasuble, dubbed The Saint Austin chasuble, is Puginesque in design and is ornamented with an orphrey in red, green and gold directly derived from Pugin's own designs.  Further information about Saint Augustine's church, Ramsgate and the bicentenary vestments will be the subject of subsequent posts.

In the meantime, we are pleased to include this link to the BBC News' coverage of the Bicentenary Mass.

AWN Pugin 1812 - 2012

Two hundred years ago today was born one of the most important figures in the history of architecture and the decorative arts: Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin.  This is the first in a series of posts about Pugin and his work.

The son of the French émigré Augustus Charles Pugin (who himself was an architectural draughtsman and topographical watercolourist), AWN Pugin is arguably the greatest British architect, designer and writer of the nineteenth century.  Pugin was responsible for an enormous quantity of buildings, and also for countless beautiful designs for tiles, sacred vestments and paraments, metalwork, furniture, wallpaper, stained glass and ceramics.  Some of his best known work includes the magnificent interiors of the Houses of Parliament, the church of St Giles, Cheadle, in Staffordshire, and his own house, The Grange, in Ramsgate (Kent), together with the nearby church of St Augustine, which he built and paid for himself and where he is buried.

Through his buildings, designs, and particularly his forceful and witty writings, such as Contrasts (1836) and the True Principles of Pointed or Christian Architecture (1841), he made people think in a new way about what architecture was.   Pugin taught that only a caring and "good" society can raise buildings that are truly honest and beautiful.  For him, Gothic architecture was the greatest style of building, and therefore the Middle Ages, the period in which these buildings were conceived, must be the closest man can get to a perfect society.  Pugin's beliefs and ideas have implications beyond his own immediate preferences, and so for many reasons he was, and is, therefore, hugely influential, both on other architects and designers of the Gothic Revival throughout the Victorian era and also on many subsequent architects, theorists and writers.

The above paragraphs were adapted from the website of The Pugin Society:

The perfect roti…..

Posted by: frank in News Add comments

If you pass by the gallery on any Saturday and hear moaning, please don’t call the Vice Squad…….  It’s just me, enjoying my Saturday treat of a roti (or two) from Proctors Supermarket.  Wikipedia has mountains of info for those who seek it, but basically a roti is a type of flatbreaad, turned into a sandwich, which came from India to the southern Caribbean.  The roti from Proctors is curried chicken and potato, and is made by a lady from Guyana who brings them in on Saturdays.  Theroti wrap is as close to eating silk as I would imagine possible. Perfectly seasoned, this is a five buck treat not to be missed.

Non-specific mesangial staining with antibodies against cytomegalovirus in immunoglobulin-A nephropathy

Academic Article

  • The glomerular staining of a commercial polyclonal antiserum against cytomegalovirus (CMV) and of a mixture of 13 monoclonal anti-CMV antibodies in twelve patients with immunoglobulin-A (IgA) nephropathy was examined. The polyclonal antiserum stained the mesangium in all patients. The CMV staining coincided only partially with that of IgA in five patients and the staining distributions were discordant in six. The monoclonal antibodies stained mesangium in only one patient. Serum levels of IgA and IgG anti-CMV antibodies did not differ between patients and controls. In western blot analysis, the polyclonal antiserum reacted with three proteins in uninfected human fibroblasts. Absorption of the antiserum with uninfected fibroblasts reduced the reactivity on western blot analysis and eliminated glomerular staining in five of six renal biopsy samples. It is concluded that the previously reported binding of anti-CMV antibodies to glomeruli from patients with IgA nephropathy may be the result of contaminating antibodies to human antigens.

At long last!!!

We're so pleased to write... Michael Melski's thriller THE CHILD REMAINS is set to hit the big screen here in Halifax.

An expectant couple’s intimate weekend turns to psychological terror when they discover their secluded country inn is a haunted maternity home where unwanted infants and mothers were murdered. Inspired by the true horrific story of the infamous ‘Butterbox Babies’ and their macabre chapter in Atlantic history, THE CHILD REMAINS is a twisting supernatural thriller that emphasizes story and suspense over shock and gore. A tribute to great atmospheric horror before the jump-scare cliche, such as The Shining, Rosemary’s Baby, and The Orphanage, the film had its world premiere at the Shanghai International Film Festival in June. Featuring stunning performances from Cannes Best Actress winner Suzanne Clement (Mommy), Allan Hawco (Frontier), Shelley Thompson (Labyrinth) and genre hero Geza Kovacs (Scanners, The Dead Zone). Written, directed and co-produced by award-winning NS filmmaker Michael Melski (Growing Op, Perfume War) and produced by Craig Cameron (The Corridor, Touch and Go).

iOS or Android: Here are the five apps I install first

I do a lot of setting up and resetting of iPhones, iPads, and Android devices. And the other day, I noticed that it’s the same five apps I install on both iOS and Android, in the same order. Spooky, eh?

So, what are the apps? And what alternatives are there that you might want to consider? Let’s take a look.

Password manager

Setting up a new device means entering passwords, and rather than rely in autofill in Google Chrome or the Apple Keychain, I have a separate password manager. I’ve gone with LastPass because this it is packed with features — especially security features that allow me to lock down my LastPass account — and it works on a whole raft of devices.

Alternatives: 1Password, DashLane

Two-factor authentication

Where possible, I like to have two-factor authentication protecting my online accounts, and where hardware 2FA isn’t possible, then an authenticator app is a good alternative.

While many password managers have authenticator apps built in, I went for Authy because it means I keep my passwords separate and get an app that works on pretty much any platform you can think of.

Alternatives: Google Authenticator, andOTP

F-Secure Freedome

I’ve been using this VPN service for years, and while I’ve tried others, I keep coming back to it because it’s easy to use, no-fuss, just works, and the app is one of the best I’ve used (for example, I turn it on, and it stays on, happily running in the background).

The perfect prescription for shady Wi-Fi connections.

Alternatives: NordVPN, ExpressVPN

I have become quite the Tile convert over the past year or so.

I don’t lose things, but I have been known to misplace things for some time, and to prevent that hassle I now have a Tile in my luggage, laptop bag, wallet, and backpack. I love the fact that I can also use a Tile to find my lost smartphone.

Alternatives: Chipolo, MYNT
