Liked: CA: S.F. ready to replace Muni train control system that runs on floppy disks

San Francisco transportation officials want to replace the "antiquated" infrastructure that uses floppy disks to run the Muni Metro light-rail system and awarded the first contract Tuesday for the roughly decadelong project.

The $700 million project to replace Muni Metro's train control system with a modern one would be its first upgrade in almost three decades. The city installed the current train control system in 1998, which requires loading three-and-a-half inch floppy disks each morning to operate the light-rail network.

dudes coding

Tonight will be a fun and exciting night. We're closing out the year by having a hackatron coding night with my friends. Just a bunch of dudes in a room coding the night away. We will be working on a game and our personal projects. There will be of snacks, lots of laughs, throwbacks and more. We all help each other out. We all live in different parts of the country but during the holidays we are back in our hometowns in Nebraska. It's always good to back with the lads and to reconnect and share what we have been working on. I love these guys. I'm going to continue to work on an IndieAuth project at some point but the focus of tonight will be a game or however the night takes us.

See you all in the wee hours of the morning.
