Welcome to Floodgap Systems' website, hosted from Southern California, USA. My
name is Cameron Kaiser, and I host Floodgap as my personal repository for
[5]information technology research, [6]historical computing research, and [7]open
source software (especially for [8]retrocomputing and information retrieval
technologies); as a testbed for multiple hardware and networking projects; my
work in [9]medicine and life sciences; and as a resting place for my other
[10]non-technical collections and exhibits. I hope you'll find Floodgap as fun
and useful to browse as it is for me to maintain.
[11]Jump to Directory, News and Recent Releases
Among the services offered, I'm particularly proud of Floodgap's *
[12]retrocomputing and classic technology archive. [13]I personally collect and
support a diverse group of computers and peripherals of all kinds from the early
1970s to today, from simple early computers and training boards like the
[14]Commodore KIM-1, to video game systems like the Intellivision and Atari 2600,
to home computers like the [15]Tomy Tutor, [16]Commodore 64 and Apple II, and all
the way up to large enterprise workstations and server systems. Volunteer
contributors have yielded immense historical information, such as the unique
[17]Commodore "secret weapons" from the company that was once practically
synonymous with home computers, and Floodgap-maintained exhibits have appeared at
multiple computer shows and gatherings, including the [18]Vintage Computer
Festival in San Jose, Calif. and others. My particular aim is not only keeping
these systems operating, but also doing [19]useful work, such as the multiple
68K-based Macintoshes running critical portions of the internal backbone, or the
software offered for these systems, such as [20]an open source 6502 cross
assembler, or [21]a vi-like editor for the C64, and [22]multiple other projects
in development.
Floodgap also houses a significant amount of archival and historical *
[23]information technology resources. Here at Floodgap, I host an extensive
[24]Gopherspace area, a unique, fast and useful pre-Web information exchange
protocol, itemizing Gopher servers still in operation, offering client and server
software and support, and maintaining the currently only operational [25]Veronica
gopher search engine in the world. To allow Gopher support even in browsers that
don't support it, there's even [26]Gopher->HTTP proxy support. I'm also proud of
my fully functional Web recreation of the [27]HyTELNET search system, an early
and noteworthy attempt at unifying terminal-based search resources before the
advent of the Web. I also research WAIS and other search technologies, classic
multi-user operating systems, and experiment on scaling large enterprise-level
tasks down to allow low-power computing systems to contribute as well as coexist.
[28][Temporary State Route 30, California's last Temporary highway.] Finally, in
addition to the [29]open source software and freeware maintained here, Floodgap
also maintains a diverse range of other non-computer oriented resources. Along
with a growing array of [30]biology, medicine and life sciences resources,
directly relevant to my actual day job for a change, I am also starting to put up
some of my forays into [31]gadget hacking and other kinds of hackery that might
only involve computers obliquely but are still pretty fun. I also host a number
of my * [32]personal projects -- including non-technical historical collections,
photographic exhibits and creative arts; as a budding roadgeek in particular, I'm
fascinated by highways and I've collected some of my favourites at the
[33]Floodgap Roadgap, specializing in dead and historical routes as well as new
and interesting ones alike.

This brief description of what I'm hoping to offer through Floodgap probably
doesn't do it justice; moreover, this site is in a state of chronic evolution as
additional information and site sections are put up regularly. I hope you've
enjoyed this little introduction. Please explore the site, have fun, and I would
very much appreciate any E-mail with [35]your comments and suggestions. --

Site news
* (6 Feb 2024) Due to the severe storm that has affected California, multiple
Floodgap services are off-line or not functioning normally. It may take
several days to repair the damage.
* (28 Jan 2021) Floodgap's domain registrar, Network Solutions, was exploited
by a social engineering hack to cough up control of multiple domains,
including Floodgap. This damage should now be repaired. In addition to
internal discussions with NetSol, there are also high-frequency mutual
assurance systems now running to immediately trigger an alert if another
successful attack is mounted. This was purely a registrar attack; none of the
local machines was penetrated or attacked, and no user data is stored on them
in any case.
* (14 Mar 2018) Floodgap is updating to enable HTTPS access. Most of the pages
will be refreshed to properly handle HTTPS URLs. If your browser supports TLS
1.2, an upgrade button will appear if an unencrypted connection is detected
on pages generated by the content management system. HSTS is supported for
browsers that accept this header, with reduced timeframes for browsers that
do not support TLS 1.2. All sites are secured by [58]Let's Encrypt. HTTP
unencrypted access will remain available indefinitely for machines not
capable of at least TLS 1.0. However, a TLS 1.2-compliant browser is strongly
recommended.
