There is a new alpha version of #GlobalTalk chat available on Blackbird.
This new version 0.3 uses a lower level of AppleTalk communication instead of HyperCard's built-in Process-to-Process communication method.
This lower level method is asynchronous and can wait for results without locking up the UI, so hopefully it solves the massive lag issues people have been having.
If anyone is around right now to test it out, please do!

Hey all. I’ll be leaving my IIci on from now through Sunday evening (-8 GMT). It would make my month if folks left some cards on my Mac. I don’t have much to share other than some fun all ages artwork in 256 color PICT format. This is my first Globaltalk and it’s just been so fun. My zone is “rexouiums”. I’m row 154 on the sheets. Thanks so much all and happy mac’ing!
@europlus@europlus.zoneRapidly approaching at a slow pace the v1.0.5 release of my GlobalTalk support files.
Nothing major - the OCI .command file was missing, I created a folder-based LW8 installer and replaced the disk image-based one on the install disk, and a few changes in the AIR Admin’s Guide Addendum.
Let me know if anything needs work or adding! Release some time in the next 1-2 days.
I have a Macintosh Portable carry-case which does NOT contain a Macintosh Portable and because of that, I suddenly has a sad.
Also, it's clearly meant to open this way up, so why did they place the Macintosh Portable label upside-down?
@europlus@europlus.zoneWOW!
And I still have to update my node list!
@europlus@europlus.zoneOne of the interesting things about AIR is that it can continue to run in the background when other things have gone pear-shaped.
Here we see that the Airaga AIR machine’s Finder has crashed, and I can’t do anything but Restart, but the zone continues to be visible from WOzFest HQ AIR machine and you can still navigate and connect to the file share running on the crashed machine!
Neat drawing before it crashes though
The Lisa is sad...
(Crashing trying to run MacServe 2.0)
i asked about nice 68k Macs before but really what i should do is revive the IIci i have. im pretty sure the power supply is dead, and hopefully only that. i saw people have done various mods to run these with modern PSUs but i got a bit overwhelmed by all the forum threads 
Long shot but I have a HP LaserJet Pro P1102W that I can share via netatalk + CUPS & print to from MacOS 9.2.2 but not System 7.x (or ealier). Any ideas how I can make this printer work with older Macintosh OSes? Using Ghostscript to convert PS to PCL didn't seem to help. #MARCHintosh
23 years later and it still works
Kind of a sad phonebook lol
I forgot about getting scolded 
Thanks to @vga256's suggestion to check the V HOLD pot (and clean it up!), I now have stable image on my Lisa with no vertical drift.
And thanks to @paulrickards suggesting I run the Lisa service mode, I was able to adjust the image height and width. 
So, here's my actually-planned-for-this-year #MARCHintosh project. Attached is a photo of four very dusty containers full of floppy disks. These are the actual disks from my childhood IIfx!
Most of these disks aren't original. The originals lived at Dad's workplace. He would periodically bring home software from work, make a copy of the disks, and return the originals to work. These were, I'm told, the "off-site backups", in case there was a fire at the workplace or something like that. But we also had all this software installed on the family IIfx so Dad could read any files that he brought home from work with him.
Of course, we also bought our own software for the home, and those are mixed in with these disks as well. And that stack of CD-ROMs in the top left are my MacAddict cover disks - those are already archived.
Anyway, because these are just consumer-grade diskettes, they degrade quicker than the professionally-manufactured original ones. I've already lost a few, so I want to get these archived! And of course, anything that doesn't already exist on the Garden will be uploaded there and shared on #GlobalTalk as well.
(expect this to be a long-ass foone-style thread with lots of updates over several days)
Ooos, there was a paper feed issue that I only caught halfway through this printout!!
My ImageWriter II on #GlobalTalk has been unusually quiet lately...
If you've got something fun to print, send it to my printer on the JUPAK network! It also prints in color! A Dropbox is also available on the Galaksija netatalk share for all your digital messages
