[edit] Another Norwegian enters the fray?

Hi there, are you by any chance a Norwegian? Based on my taking a peek at your list of contributions, I took the chance of including you in our category. Feel free to revert that action if I'm wrong, of course. Anyway: welcome! --Wernher 12:34, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Time-sharing/Temp

Turned out that Time-sharing wasn't a copyvio. So if you want, you can nominate Time-sharing/Temp for deletion...or if you had any changes, please merge them back. --Geoffrey 02:24, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] PDP-11

I responded on my talk page. Short answer: I think your edit was useful, even if it isn't cited. I don't think that "cn" is a black mark, just a note for the future. -- Gnetwerker 23:42, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: Self-link in recursion

Hi Toresbe. I've replied on my talk page. Paul August ☎ 00:06, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Robert_C._Prim

Hej, Toresbe!

Jag sökte efter matematikern och datavetenskaparen Robert_C._Prim, men kom bara ihåg efternamnet, och vidarekopplades till sidan Geitost...

Jag gör om sidan Prim till en förgreningssida, och hoppas att du inte misstycker.

Med vänlig hälsning,--JoergenB 14:22, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Hahaha - hei. Takk for at du sier ifra -- Jeg tror det nok er en ide, ja. :) toresbe 14:28, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Du kjenner SINTRAN folk?

Du sa du kjente en SINTRAN utvikler. Kan jeg spørre hvem det er? Jeg har mistet kontakten med de fleste ND folkene nå så hadde vært fint om du kunne hilse fra meg til ham dersom jeg kjenner fyren og det gjør jeg sannsynligvis siden jeg selv jobbet med SINTRAN fra ca. 1983 til rundt 1987 eller deromkring.

salte 15:07, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Ja, han heter Jonny Oddene, og driver Sintran Data, og supporterer flere kjørende maskiner. Jeg tror han var mer på support-siden, men det er jeg ikke helt sikker på. Han begynte i 1986. :)

Kjenner også et par andre folk som har vært igjennom Norsk Data nå, men det er kanskje mest på hardwaresiden (jeg har møtt de i sammenheng med NORD-10-prosjektet) - Ola Sveen, Bård Sørbye, og har snakket en del med Kåre Trøim. toresbe 16:00, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Ola Sveen er ett navn jeg husker. Jonny husker jeg ikke. Jeg er ganske sikker på at han ikke drev med utvikling - for da hadde navnet plinget en bjelle. Navn jeg husker fra ND tiden? Hmm.. Jo, første sjefen min var Hans Karsten Dahl, og jeg husker jo Knut Nordby. Og hva var navnet på han som utviklet Planc igjen? Jeg er sikker på at jeg kommer til å gjenkjenne navnet når noen sier det men akkurat nå står det stille. Og så var det en engelsk fyr som drev med filsystemet, hva var det han hette nå igjen? Hmm...navnene er stort sett borte for meg nå... Jeg har aldri vært flink på navn og fjes og sånt :) I kompilator gruppa var det to fyrer som jeg nå ikke husker navnet på - dang, jeg skulle ønske jeg kunne huske slikt bedre :) Så var det to jenter som jobbet med SIBAS, en tror jeg het Heidi Larsen, den andre husker jeg ikke navnet på. Jeg husker at de var begge ganske interessert i håndball. Det er rart hva man husker og hva man glemmer over tid salte 09:51, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The LSI-11 and "innovation"

I'm not going to revert you, but the "innovation" of the LSI-11 was to bury the console interface routine ("Console ODT -- Octal Debugging Technique") right into the machine microcode on the processor chip set. The Norsk Data machine you cited appears to have put all that stuff into ordinary program-space ROMs.

Atlant 12:49, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Nope, it is in microcode. There was no physical-space ROM on the NORD series for this purpose, and in fact you could enter the OPCOM (microcode prompt) while the machine was running, to deposit/examine, monitor registers as the programs were running, etc. This was just an example... the PDP-11 was not at all the first to do this. May I ask how you came to believe that it was in physical memory, though? Some article I need to rephrase?

Cheers, toresbe 18:29, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks.

May I ask how you came to believe that it was in physical memory, though? Some article I need to rephrase?

My (bad) assumption based on the unqualified statement that this stuff was in the machine's "ROM". Just make it read "microstore ROM" or "microprogram ROM" and silly people like me won't jump to the wrong conclusion ;-).

[edit] AIV

Hello, your report was removed earlier because there isn't enough vandalism from that address at this time. Since IP addresses can change between users, we don't block them unless there is a sudden stream of vandalism all at once. Five edits all spaced out isn't enough to justify a block. In general, users and IP addresses should only be reported to AIV when they have vandalized after a recent final (level 4) warning. Thanks for your help, though. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 00:07, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Why I made a point to come by. Sorry about that. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 16:38, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Viqueens

A tag has been placed on Viqueens requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ~ Eóin (talk) 22:29, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed deletion of Skogtur

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Skogtur, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? MBisanz ^talk 07:17, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
