I suppose I should "pin a comment" like the cool kids do with all of the places to support me. My new Ko-Fi account: ko-fi.com/veronicaexplains Patreon: patreon.com/VeronicaExplains Merch store: vkc.sh/merch Most of the nerdy shirts I wear on the channel you can buy from my merch store. Thanks all!
I really love your channel. I discovered it recently and its become as my favorite tech channel on youtube. Keep doing this great job, Veronica. Greetings from Brazil.
Hi Veronica! I understand. 😉 BTW: I like descriptions below the videos. I read them all. 😀 Have found your channel by searching for new videos about GrapheneOS. I wish you and your family only the best.
Great to see you back, Veronica! I'm looking forward to videos from the new space about fun and quirky old operating systems and programming languages. Plus more Linux tips! I understand.
Glad your better. Did not know about your background until now. I was a COBOL programmer years ago, around the time of Windows 286! Worked for a casino in Las Vegas writting software for the office and gambling functions. Also worked for a furniture company in Las Vegas where I modified COBOL code to include rack and bin warehousing to interface with office accounting, sales and cashier functions. I am retired now and living in Arkansas.
Welcome back and thanks for your informative and fun videos! Hope everyone at home is feeling much better. For now, focus on what is really important, and then you can slowly speed it up from there.
Amazing job Veronica. You are an inspiration! I hope to grow up to explain tech as well as you do someday. Kudos for the amazing job, hope you get all the support you deserve -- which, in my opinion, is a lot!
I really enjoy Public Service Announcement shirts! I look forward to all the future content, perhaps even an episode of Veronica Explains about testing backups?? Thank you for your time!
Sometimes I don't feel like watching a long video but if there are chapters available I will still watch the "most interesting" parts. If there are more people who do this that means you could be getting more views because of them.
During the Premiere you asked who is building what, and what was your first computer, or something like that. My first computer was a CoCo and BASIC was the love of my programming.This extended briefly to my Atari ST, but have not programmed since the early 90s. I have programmed COBOL for large companies in the 90s as part of my real job, then selling/repairing Apple computers, parts and peripherals for the past 25 years. I'd like to get out my CoCo and get back into BASIC programming, but I have to find her first... thanks for listening.
if we can make requests, I would love a COBOL tutorial, I'm curious how you can set up a local environment that could mimic the old/legacy mainframes and what compiler can be used? is it even possible (ie simple/painless) on widows?
Hey, nice to see you back! I had an infection too, probably XBB1.5 ("Kraken") which caused me to lose my voice almost completely and while it's pretty much back, it's not perfect and there's still dome harmonic distortion in it ;). Nice to see your work on the studio and other projects :) Music, musings and mutilations? Nice. I love your channel. Keri on!
The Basement space looks awesome Veronica. I can't wait to see what you do with it. I'm actually working on something over my garage right now for my content creation (if I can ever get it finished).
Oof, as someone currently fighting through some sort of sinus bug, I'm glad to hear you're doing better. Can I just say, that's a nifty desk even before the LEDs. Looking forward to the things you've described. Old programming languages sounds like a fun topic. Even though my first computer was an Apple //e and then a PC XT I am often surprised just how much I missed of what was going on in the 80s. The 70s I can understand, I was still a bit too much of a wee little kid then, but I was obsessed with the //e and then the PC XT in the 80s. Also, I understand.
You have built an original, fun and interesting channel, so it's nice seeing you are back. Of course, as time passes and more work is put on an activity it's only natural that you feel that a permanent space is necessary for it, or maybe better equipment, etc. It's the same for me with sports, for example. A small start is a win, many times
Young people need to see this video because they think being a RU-vid influencer is all glamorous and parties. They do not see the many lines of COBOL in the background!
Wow COBOL. My tech college degree, in 1989, was taught in COBOL. I did one small project at a job after I graduated only because I begged someone to do so. Never touched it again.
Thanks, I love retro computers, programming languages in particular Quick Basic and Delphi aka qb64 and lazarus. Used to be my favourite pass time at one time.
@@VeronicaExplains I remember when my dad and I were playing Starcraft and I asked him if those were Zergs, his response was, "Those aren't Zerglings, they're blood puddles".
Hi Veronica, (Previous post got deleted because it conatained an internal link.) Loving your channel. About the 3:15 point, you put out a request for vintage software. How about RPG II (Report Generator Program) that IBM developed for its System/3/32/34/36 line of min-computers? If memory serves, IBM was looking for a terse, lightweight, business language to replace COBOL at the time. Imagine, if you can, COBOL and Assembler having a baby, and you're on the right track. Also, I'd be interested in your take on the Fish Shell as a replacement/augmentation for bash. Thanks. ~ tEP
