Some LC III tinkering

Added on 27th April 2023


Segments: Intro | Software 'n stuff | Bonus

Download video: MP4 (H.264) | MPG (MPEG-1)


a casual (?) video of me demonstrating some stuff with a Macintosh LC III, originally made to go with the blog post I did about it for #MARCHintosh2023 last month, but wasn't able to finish at the time. it's more or less in a 'ASMR' video style with no narration.

and yes, this video is being hosted on my website! It's more of a proof of concept thing for right now, since this site is still being hosted on Github Pages and haven't yet found a decent web hosting service that works for me. Regardless, since this video is small enough to fit under the storage limit, I've given it a go anyway to see what it would be like.

I did have to split the intro and bonus section of this video into separate segments, due to the 100 MB per file limit (which is understandable), so the navigation for those are at the top of this page. It may be slightly inconvenient, but I decided to experiment with it anyway as I thought it somewhat gives a similar experience to an interactive multimedia CD-ROM program (if you know what I mean)!

this method of hosting video is inspired by Razorback's video catalog, a very good example of how self-hosting video can be done.
