ℹ️ SYSTEM OPERATIONAL

Publishing packet-sized thoughts since 1985.

paco.io is the technology publication in the Francisco Rodríguez web ecosystem: technology news, PTIR, commentary, projects, tools, and selected digital-garden notes. The retro terminal and Obsidian-style Vault remain part of the site's native interface.

Technology News

Technology reporting and curated links belong here when their primary purpose is keeping readers informed about technology rather than teaching a particular subject.

Curated items should link to the original reporting, summarize rather than reproduce it, and clearly identify the source. Original commentary should be distinguishable from sourced reporting.

• Open-sourced, at last

• Would you like to play a game?

• Why IT support is hated

• DEMO BRAG — A BASIC program from the past

• A programmer, again

Vault & Projects

The existing Vault remains available for technical notes, projects, experiments, references, and digital-garden material. It complements the technology publication rather than defining the entire site.

• Use the Vault Explorer in the sidebar to browse notes and project material.
• Use Search to filter the vault.
• Theme controls, CRT effects, backlinks, and the existing terminal interaction remain intact.

Dial-In Connections

• 👾 SPACED INVADERS — Retro arcade experiment.
