Baud Day is 3/12/24! How is everyone going to celebrate Baud Day? Baud Days
are like comets. They do not come around too often. So, one suggestion is to play "Baud Day Bingo". You can download a "Baud Day" Bingo card at https://tinyurl.com/abmnj89h

And since Baud Day lands on a Taco Tuesday, it's obvious what food will be on the menu, eh? https://tinyurl.com/yubv9vpf

And yes, Baud Day occurs two days before PI Day. So, if you are torn which one to celebrate...why not celebrate both? https://tinyurl.com/3zu2k3vs

But the important thing is to call some BBSs and wish everyone a "Happy Baud Day". More information is available at www.southernamis.com/baudday.

I'm gonna play along on a bingo card, Polka - but since I don't have copper wires here I'll be doing so on different hardware for each square. I'll use the most retro form of connection I have for each machine; Wi-Fi modem, mTCP in MS-DOS, etc...

w00t w00t!

Paulie,

That sounds great! Please share your filled out Bingo Card somewhere. You
can even submit it to our baud day website if you want. There's a submission button at the top of southernamis.com/baudday.

For those of you outside the US, that's 12 MAR 24, not 03 DEC 24. :D :D :D

Yes, the US celebrates it tomorrow, March 12th, and other areas celebrate it December 3rd, 2024. I plan on celebrating both days. ;-)

Re: stuff to do on Baud Day

I'm bringing an ATA, some modems, a couple radios, and a couple TNCs (packet modems) over to the local makerspace, along with the Baud Day music playlist, and we're gonna get that shit all connected one way or another. Unfortunately, since the makerspace moved, nobody has set up the PBX/voip stuff again. So, we'll have to bring our own and figure out what to do as far as service goes. Maybe we'll do just sip to sip if we can't get a POTS service going.

Maybe some of the BBSes with dialups on ATAs would be open to additionally have a SIP number/address :).

Oh ya, and the radios can connect to eachother at 1200 baud.
