YouTube: bbno$ - it boy (official music video)

Watching the bbno$ video released today, "it boy", I realized (later than I'd like to admit) that it's shot in Cowichan, Vancouver Island. A lot of locations are recognizable in and around Duncan.

When I saw bbno$ dancing on the boat, I finally clued in - that boat is beached at Cherry Point just down the road from my house! I took photos of the same beached boat.

"The Brazen Fork" is also shown in the video, a BBQ truck on Cowichan Bay Road (great food). The falcon landing was surely shot at The Raptors near Duncan.

There are a lot of recognizable locations from the Cowichan area. And a great song! bbno$ - it boy (official music video)

Chris / akacastor (SysOp, Another Millennium BBS)

I've been getting into cracking DOS software, focusing on BBS software, doors, utilities, etc. My latest project is a keygen (registration # and key file generator) for SuperBBS 1.17-3. I understand that, like a lot of BBS software, the source code and registration tools for SuperBBS were lost to time. You can download SuperBBS 1.17-3 from Jason Scott's BBS Documentary website: http://software.bbsdocumentary.com/IBM/DOS/SUPERBBS/

The keygen 'SBBSKEY2.ZIP' is available for download in file area 4 (cracks) of Another Millennium BBS, another.tel port 23.

SuperBBS 1.17-3 KEYGENv2 by akacastor 2024-04-10
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The SBBS-KEY keygen will generate a registration number to enter in CONFIG and
a .SCC file that must be placed in the SBBS directory.


You _MUST_ do _BOTH_ of:

1) Enter Sysop Name, BBS Name, and Reg # under Registration in CONFIG.

and

2) Place the generated .SCC file in your SBBS directory (where BBS.EXE lives).


The timestamp of the .SCC file cannot be altered!  SuperBBS includes the .SCC
file timestamp in its verification checks.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

usage: SBBS-KEY "Sysop Name" "BBS Name"

NOTE - don't forget the quotes around each name!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

example:

C:\CRACKS>SBBS-KEY "Sysop Name" "BBS Name"

IT'S BAUD DAY 3/12/24

From the linked site:

Something that SysOps did when they advertised their BBS. Rather than write a BBS’ supported baud rates as “300/1200/2400”, they would write “3/12/24”. The reason for this abbreviation is probably due to how BBSs were advertised back in the day. Most BBSs were advertised in text files. Depending on the host computer, a text file may have 40 or 80 characters per line. So, space was a premium and dropping 6 characters from “300/1200/2400” made a big difference.

The window sill has plenty of space and is a cozy spot, directly above the baseboard heater in the space behind the couch. This is one of her favourite spots.

Sea lions visit Cowichan Bay in the fall to feast on salmon on their way to migrate upstream. It is early in the season, many more sea lions will arrive this month. Read more here.
