[753.22 --> 756.54] The very first game, I think there's two that come to mind.
[756.58 --> 759.60] The very first games I ever played, there was Stunt Car Racer.
[760.42 --> 765.50] My nan had a computer with a five and a quarter inch floppy bay in it.
[766.10 --> 769.04] That was on a, I can't even remember what the OS was.
[769.04 --> 770.78] There you go, it was that long ago.
[771.12 --> 778.12] But then the next one, the first game that I ever had really of my own besides Lemmings at school was Monster Truck Madness.
[778.12 --> 779.86] Oh, okay.
[779.86 --> 783.92] The first game I really saw take off.
[784.76 --> 785.46] Oh, my God.
[785.46 --> 786.26] I'm doing it again.
[786.36 --> 787.14] This is your fault.
[787.46 --> 788.56] It was Oregon Trail.
[789.08 --> 791.42] Oregon Trail was really big when I was in school.
[791.42 --> 797.24] And, you know, we had just green screens, green and white monochrome type screens, but it was green.
[798.10 --> 807.52] And I remember playing Oregon Trail on that to the point where, and it was a buddy and me and we'd play on it and then we'd leave it on and it burned in on the school screen.
[807.94 --> 810.42] The CRT guy Oregon Trail burned in on it.
[810.42 --> 811.02] Oops.
[811.38 --> 811.74] Oops.
[811.94 --> 817.34] I remember seeing that like betting screens in the UK used to have like CFAX pages.
[817.56 --> 823.20] I don't know if you know what CFAX was, but it was like a version of the internet before the internet, but it came through the TV.
[824.04 --> 826.02] I don't know a better way to describe it than that.
[826.10 --> 826.86] It was kind of fun.
[826.96 --> 829.18] Like everybody knew their favorite page number.
[829.42 --> 834.36] Like 606 for me, for example, was like now and next on the TV channels.
[834.36 --> 837.42] Like it came out with a little like end curses style display.
[837.56 --> 838.50] It was pretty cool.
[838.58 --> 839.32] Now I think about it.
[839.58 --> 840.92] Yeah, that sounds really rad.
[841.16 --> 845.30] Anyway, all the betting shops, they used to be like sports scores on CFAX as a whole section.
[845.76 --> 850.68] And, you know, they used to have these CRTs burned in with these CFAX logos and stuff.
[851.22 --> 851.64] Oh, yeah.
[852.12 --> 852.32] Yeah.
[852.32 --> 855.44] The CRT burning thing was real in the library in the school, too.
[856.14 --> 862.46] And, of course, the other game that was a hit back in the day was Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego.
[862.76 --> 863.26] It's coming out on.
[863.26 --> 863.62] Yes.
[863.62 --> 864.80] Oh, I do remember that one.
[865.14 --> 866.64] Played that on DOS all the way into Windows.
[866.76 --> 870.02] I played that from the text era into the graphical era.
[870.30 --> 871.12] I was so young, though.
[871.12 --> 876.64] I didn't really know where any of the places were or how to even pronounce like Budapest.
[876.74 --> 878.22] I remember I was like, where is that?
[878.24 --> 879.02] That's miles away.
[879.08 --> 879.46] It's hungry.
[879.64 --> 880.14] Goodness me.
[881.28 --> 883.40] You know, it'd be fun to fire that up again, though.
[883.60 --> 888.12] The nostalgia factor helps make up for the lackluster graphics.
[888.12 --> 897.54] I don't mind a game with low graphics because I can play it on a computer and the computer won't turn into a ball of liquid metal on my lap.
[897.88 --> 898.38] That's nice.
[898.50 --> 898.68] True.
[899.22 --> 899.48] Yeah.
[899.72 --> 900.20] Very true.
[900.20 --> 904.32] Linode.com slash SSH.
[904.38 --> 907.54] Go there to get $100 in 60-day credit on a new account.
[907.76 --> 909.50] And you go there to support the show.
[909.72 --> 910.86] Just think of it like this.
[910.96 --> 912.92] Linode is fast, reliable cloud hosting.
[913.16 --> 914.78] You just you got to go try it.
[914.78 --> 918.32] And that's why they're giving you $100 to really go kick the tires.
[918.36 --> 926.76] That's like Linode just showing you that they're confident that when you go try it and you really get a chance to use it for a bit, you're going to stick around.
[927.24 --> 928.86] And I think you'll like it.
[928.92 --> 930.24] They have a good mix of performance.
[930.34 --> 931.98] They have 11 data centers around the world.
[932.14 --> 935.00] They have customer support that's going to help you when you need it.
[935.04 --> 936.00] They're available 365.
[937.30 --> 939.20] They've been upgrading their infrastructure.
[939.20 --> 942.72] So a little bit ago, they started rolling out bare metal systems.
[942.72 --> 947.38] Of course, they have invested heavily in their networking over the years.
[947.46 --> 948.54] So they are their own ISP.
[949.06 --> 952.78] And most recently, they're rolling out PCIe and Beame storage on some of their systems.
[953.22 --> 958.14] And not too long ago, they upgraded their Optron processors and some of their high-end CPU rigs.
[958.24 --> 962.20] I mean, they're just they're constantly trying to make sure you get the best performance for your buck.
[962.68 --> 963.60] They got a great UI.
[963.88 --> 969.60] And if you're ready to kind of get fancy, they also have an API that is pretty straightforward to use.
[969.64 --> 970.42] It's well documented.
[970.42 --> 976.46] And they have a command line client that you can get on any OS I have installed on my systems.
[976.66 --> 979.42] And you can do simple things like take snapshots and reboot.
[979.58 --> 980.80] You can create systems.
[980.96 --> 983.82] You can upload files to the object storage all from the command line.
[984.04 --> 986.80] And that's kind of like a power way to use Linode.
[987.10 --> 995.44] We have just about every critical system we've built, with the exception of a rig here at the studio that runs a few things in the last couple of years.
[995.44 --> 1000.26] We look at it as a balance of like some things we decide to self-host.
[1000.26 --> 1005.52] And a lot of things we decide to manage ourselves on Linode's cloud.
[1005.92 --> 1010.76] Because it strikes the balance of security, performance, and ownership and control.
[1010.76 --> 1012.54] I love all of that.
[1012.68 --> 1016.20] Plus, I also like taking advantage of the backup options.
[1016.40 --> 1020.70] Before we go make a big change on a server that's in production, I'll go take a backup on Linode.
[1020.80 --> 1022.36] And I have automatic backup set too.
[1022.52 --> 1028.96] And the thing that's great about it is you can easily review where they're at, when the last backup was, and all that kind of stuff.
[1028.96 --> 1033.98] And you can also use that command line client to initiate a quick backup if you want to go that route as well.
[1034.52 --> 1043.38] And having those kinds of tools there, plus things like S3-compatible object storage, they've brought a small businesses game up to like a next level that we couldn't have achieved otherwise.
[1043.62 --> 1050.30] And the pricing is 30% to 50% lower than the big hyperscalers that just want to lock you into their crazy complex platforms.
[1050.82 --> 1055.70] So go try it out and support the show and see what 19 years of working on something is built.
[1055.70 --> 1061.26] That's Linode, and you can get it for 60 days and $100 and support the show.
[1061.46 --> 1062.92] That's like a trifecta of awesome.
[1063.04 --> 1065.28] Linode.com slash SSH.
[1067.22 --> 1067.92] All right.
[1067.98 --> 1073.60] So our very own, the orange one, is going to be hosting this weekend a Matrix setup party.
[1073.80 --> 1084.28] So for those of you who aren't quite sure what Matrix is, we're talking about the messaging system, not bullet time, bullet dodging, dodgy reboot matrices.
[1084.28 --> 1084.68] Matrixes.
