Bill Gates Drops the Code That Started It All — BASIC Is Back!

Break out your cassette decks and retro keycaps, because Bill Gates just dropped some vintage gold for us tech nerds: the original source code for Altair BASIC – Microsoft’s first-ever product – is now free to download.

Yep, this is the code that kicked off a little side hustle you may have heard of… called Microsoft.

And for anyone who spent their childhood (or, let’s be honest, way too much of their adulthood) tinkering with early home computers like the Commodore 64, Apple II, or my personal favorite, the Dick Smith VZ200, this is a nostalgic blast from the silicon past.

Let’s dive into what BASIC was, why this release is such a big deal, and how Bill’s latest book, Source Code, ties it all together.

BASIC: The OG Gateway Drug to Programming

Back in the 70s and 80s, if you wanted to make a computer do anything cool—play a song, make text scroll, launch a pixelated UFO—you used BASIC. Short for Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, BASIC was designed to be simple, accessible, and—most importantly—fun.

Most microcomputers back then shipped with a version of BASIC pre-installed or easily loadable. It was the language for curious minds and bedroom coders.

Dick Smith VZ-200

If you had a Dick Smith VZ200—which launched in 1983 in Australia and New Zealand—you were likely pecking away in BASIC. That humble little machine with its 4KB of RAM (expandable to 16KB if you were feeling fancy) brought a generation of kids and tinkerers into the digital age.

Here’s the kind of thing we used to write:

10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD!"
20 GOTO 10

Endless scrolling. Infinite loop. Pure joy.

Altair BASIC: Microsoft’s First Hit

Rewind to 1975. Bill Gates and Paul Allen were two young nerds fresh out of Harvard (or rather, one about to drop out of Harvard) when they saw a photo of the Altair 8800 in Popular Electronics magazine. The Altair didn’t even come with a screen or keyboard—it was just blinking lights and switches. But it had the potential to be the first true personal computer.

Bill and Paul got hyped and hacked together a version of BASIC that could run on the Altair. They did it in just a few weeks, using a simulator they wrote before they even got their hands on the actual hardware.

Wild, right?

Their Altair BASIC became the very first product from a brand-new company called “Micro-Soft.” (Yep, with a hyphen.)

And now, 50 years later, Bill has released that original code to the public. It’s 3,400 lines of hand-assembled 8080 machine code—no frills, just raw 70s brilliance.

Why This Is a Big Deal

This isn’t just a nostalgic throwback—it’s a peek into the genesis of modern computing.

When Gates and Allen sold BASIC to MITS (the makers of the Altair), they were also selling a vision: software could be just as valuable as hardware. That idea helped birth an industry.

By open-sourcing this code now, Gates is giving back to the community and showing just how far we’ve come. From typing on green monochrome screens to deploying apps to the cloud with a few keystrokes.

BASIC and the VZ200: My First Programming Crush

For me, the Dick Smith VZ200 was the start of it all. It wasn’t flashy. It didn’t have much memory. But it had BASIC—and that was everything.

You could write your own games. Play music using beeps and boops. Control pixels like a digital puppet master. BASIC turned the VZ200 from a plastic box into a playground.

Many of us learned logic, problem-solving, and debugging long before we knew those words officially. BASIC taught us to experiment. To try things. To fail and fix. To save to tape, rewind, and try again.

This is why BASIC has such a cult following. And why seeing its roots come to light in 2025 hits us right in the feels.

Bill Gates’ Book: Source Code

As if that wasn’t enough, Gates has also dropped a book called Source Code, reflecting on 50 years of Microsoft, software, and the future of tech.

It’s not just about the code—it’s about what the code meant.

In the book, Gates talks about how Altair BASIC wasn’t just a technical project. It was an act of faith. A belief that software could change the world. That it could be personal. That it could be yours.

The book includes scans of Gates’ original notebooks, memories from the early Microsoft crew, and thoughts on what’s next—AI, climate tech, and even digital health.

You can tell it’s a bit of a “full-circle” moment for him. From coding BASIC in his dorm to shaping the digital world as we know it.

So… Where Can You Get the Code?

You can grab the original Altair BASIC code from Bill Gates’ blog, GatesNotes. It’s all there, beautifully commented and scanned in like an artifact from a time when computers fit on desks but not in pockets.

(And yes, some genius will probably port this to run in a browser within a week. That’s just how the internet works now.)

What We Can Learn From BASIC in 2025

We live in an age of React, Swift, Rust, and AI-assisted coding. But BASIC still has lessons for us:

  • Start small – BASIC was lean, limited, and taught us to do more with less.

  • Stay curious – It rewarded exploration. Try it. Break it. See what happens.

  • Make it fun – At its heart, programming should be joyful. BASIC never forgot that.

Whether you’re building a full-stack app, making beats on your DAW, or just playing around with microcontrollers and synths, the spirit of BASIC is still alive: make something weird, make it yours, and enjoy the process.

Final Thought: This Isn’t Just Code—It’s Culture

Bill Gates releasing the source code for Altair BASIC isn’t just a tech moment. It’s a cultural one. It’s a tribute to a time when anyone with a cheap computer and a few lines of code could feel like a wizard.

If you ever typed 10 PRINT, this is your time to smile.

And if you’ve never seen code like this before—maybe it’s time to give it a go. Who knows where it might lead?

Harnessing Nature’s Power: Building Bio-Photovoltaics with Plants

Introduction

 

Welcome back, readers! Today, we embark on an exciting journey into the world of bio-photovoltaics, a revolutionary concept that allows us to generate electrical energy directly from sunlight using the power of photosynthesis in plants. In a video #1993 by Robert Murray-Smith (1993 How To Make A Bio – Photovoltaic Solar Cell), he took us to Kew Gardens to explore this fascinating idea, and now, we are going to delve into the process of building our very own bio-photovoltaic system. Let’s dive in and discover how nature’s most basic processes can power our future!

 

Understanding Bio-Photovoltaics

 

Bio-photovoltaics, often referred to as “bio-PV” or “biophotovoltaic cells,” is a cutting-edge field that seeks to integrate biological systems with photovoltaic technology. Traditional photovoltaic cells rely on inorganic semiconductors to convert sunlight into electricity. In contrast, bio-photovoltaics employ the natural process of photosynthesis found in plants to achieve the same goal.

 

Photosynthesis is a miraculous process that occurs in plants, where sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll in their leaves, enabling them to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a form of sugar) and oxygen. Bio-photovoltaics utilize this very process, capturing the electrons produced during photosynthesis and channeling them to generate electrical energy.

 

 

The Players in Bio-Photovoltaics

 

Before we start building our own bio-photovoltaic system, let’s meet the key players involved in this groundbreaking technology:

 

Planty: Planty is an innovative company that specializes in bio-photovoltaic solutions. They are at the forefront of developing practical applications for harnessing plant power to generate electricity.

 

Moss FM: Moss FM is a noteworthy project that gained attention for its bio-photovoltaic installation in the Netherlands. By integrating moss with solar panels, the project demonstrates the potential of combining biological systems with renewable energy generation.

 

Green Fab lab, Barcelona: The Green Fab lab in Barcelona is a research facility focused on sustainability and bio-fabrication. They play a vital role in advancing bio-photovoltaics through their cutting-edge research and development initiatives.

 

The Bio-Photovoltaic Build Process

 

Now that we understand the underlying principles, let’s delve into the process of building a bio-photovoltaic system:

 

Step 1: Plant Selection: The first step is choosing the right plant for your bio-photovoltaic experiment. While the type of plant used isn’t critical, it’s essential to opt for a species with robust photosynthetic capabilities.

 

Step 2: Encourage Growth: Cultivate the selected plant in an environment that encourages optimal growth. Ensure it receives ample sunlight, water, and nutrients to thrive.

 

Step 3: Harvesting Photosynthetic Electrons: This is the crucial step where we capture the electrons released during photosynthesis. Through carefully designed electrodes, the electrons flow through a circuit, creating an electric current.

 

Step 4: Power Generation: The electric current generated by the flowing electrons can be utilized to power small devices or charge batteries, showcasing the practical application of bio-photovoltaics.

 

The Potential of Bio-Photovoltaics

 

The implications of bio-photovoltaics are vast and exciting. By integrating biological systems into energy generation, we can envisage a sustainable future with numerous advantages:

 

1. Environmental Benefits: Bio-photovoltaics offer a green and clean energy solution, as they produce electricity without harmful emissions. This approach can help reduce the carbon footprint and combat climate change.

 

2. Renewable and Abundant: Unlike traditional fossil fuels, plants are renewable resources that grow abundantly. Harnessing their natural energy conversion abilities could provide a consistent and limitless energy source.

 

3. Enhancing Biodiversity: Bio-photovoltaics could lead to more green spaces and a renewed focus on plant life, potentially bolstering biodiversity in urban areas.

 

4. Decentralized Energy Generation: With bio-photovoltaic systems, energy production can be decentralized, empowering communities to become self-sufficient and less reliant on centralized power grids.

 

Conclusion

 

In conclusion, bio-photovoltaics present an awe-inspiring convergence of biology and renewable energy technology. By tapping into the power of photosynthesis, we can potentially revolutionize our energy landscape and create a sustainable future. As we continue to explore the possibilities presented by companies like Planty, projects like Moss FM, and research facilities like the Green Fab lab in Barcelona, we move one step closer to a greener and cleaner world powered by nature’s ingenious processes. So let’s embrace the potential of bio-photovoltaics and journey towards a brighter and more sustainable tomorrow.

Amazing New Device – A Rechargeable Battery Made From The Earth’s Most Abundant and Safest Materials – Water and Clay – Will Last Forever And Generate.

 

The materials are cheap, they’re abundant, and they’re renewable. Just Water and Clay.

 

Hi everybody. So welcome to Bishops in Glen. And it’s a site of special scientific interest mostly for the wildlife and geology. This area was actually under a shallow sea for ages and what you can see quite clearly when we look to the top, with the newer sands that have been laid down and it’s clearly banded into grades of sand until you get to the bottom where my feet are, and that’s the London clay belt.

 

So, this whole area is covered in clay. Now we can’t take clay from here because it is a protected site and one of the reasons it’s protected,… now, these little holes here in the cliffs, they’re actually bees, solitary bees. The bees come out and they paralyse their prey, drag it in there, lay some eggs, seal the hole up and it becomes a nursery and a tomb. So, there’s lots of strange animals and insects and plants here that make it a protected site, both in terms of the Zoology and in terms of the Geology.

 

Of course, we can’t dig clay out of that. That’s an area of special interest. But we come down the beach a little bit, and we come to these clay formations, and the whole hills are made out of this stuff. It’s quite dry because of the weather and it changes its colour from that sort of reddish brown, which has got lots of iron in it to this kind of silvery grey, which has got a lot more aluminium in it and of course… I’m being a little obsessive about clay right now because I’m always obsessive about the things that we can pull from nature. This exact area is where I come to collect bits and pieces in order to make solar cells. What we can do is collect the bits and pieces that we need in order to make a battery.

 

Because there are lots of different kinds of clay; you get Britain red clay tile, red clay, London yellow clay, porcelain clay, China clay, just a whole range of different types of clay that you can literally dig from the ground. And this is the same stuff. This is just the type of clay it’s called zeolite and you come across this mostly in face masks and filter material for fishponds, that kind of thing, this grade is called X13.

 

Now, something really amazing happens when you add these two things together, this clay and this water. It happens quite a lot, actually, usually not very dramatic, so you don’t notice it. What it is, is that when they’re separate like this, they have a higher energy. When you combine them, the energy is much lower and so that extra energy is given off as heat.

 

And as I say, when you’re dissolving things actually, that happens, you just don’t notice it. But when we add this to this, which doesn’t dissolve it, the water goes into the galleries of the clay. That extra energy is super, super noticeable. Of course, the immediate question is: can we do something with that?

 

And I was thinking about it because there are some awesome things you can do with it. One of the things you can do is you can take this. It’s a Peltier device, you find these in beer chillers, that sort of thing. And it’s really good for when you have a heat difference that is, cold on one side and hot on the other side. It will generate an electric current between these two wires, so if we can get something hot and something cold, we can automatically generate electricity from it, so I’ve got one here.

 

And I’ve got a little steel tin. Now this steel tin is battered about and it’s quite dented, so a thermal paste would work really well. I’m going to use a bit of graphite foil as a thermal contact. So put the foil on there. Put that on there and we have a thermal contact.

Now I’m going to add my dry clay into my steel tin. There we go.

 

And we’re going to add some water to that. So, this is just plain water. So, add some water to it. It’s going to get hot. You see, following the water immediately. Going to put that on. Give it a bit of pressure so we get a good contact between the cold marble under here and the hot tin can.

 

What I want you to do is keep your eye on that motor there, there we go. What’s happening here is that now it has a hot side from the clay and a cold side from the marble. It’s generating electricity and it’s running that motor, and it will continue to run that motor as long as there’s a difference between the hot and the cold. And of course, we’ve used clay and water.

 

I can’t repeat that often enough.

 

It’s clay that you dig out of the ground and water! If we want to recharge this… ‘Dry off the water!’ and you’ll have clay and if you actually drop it. It’ll do nothing because it’s already ground. So to get it going you add water. It’s an amazing device if you think about it, it is a rechargeable battery made from the Earth’s greatest, safest materials that will last forever and generate.

 

So that really will run for ages until that cools down. So, if I put that in a thermos, for example, it would maintain that heat difference and so this would run it even longer. This is just out in the air. So we put it in a thermos it would run it even longer.

 

The materials are cheap, they’re abundant, and they’re renewable. They’re non-caustic, they’re safe. I just can’t think of anything else to recommend it. Anyway, if you enjoyed that video, thank you very much for watching. Please remember to like and subscribe.

[PROMPT]

Brand name creation

Can you give me a list of twenty names for a new battery separator material I have made? Well, I discovered it in a waste product. Something that is abundant in waste now (2023). The material is a porous polymer [fiber] like A4 office paper, but the fibers are a polymer that melts. It might be polypropylene but I’m not sure yet. Its unique property is that it has fine pores like paper but should be much stronger than paper at a microscopic level. Oddly, this material tears like paper and is easy to cut with scissors too! I once found a similar separator inside a NiMH battery, I’d like to sell it to battery experimenters, but it needs a name. Here are the names I’ve produced so far… – PolyPaper – Marxion – Maskion – Sepapaper – Abundamask – Insulpaper. Can you give me twenty more candidate names, please?… And please give me a marketing/science review of the product written to the maximum allowed length. Tell the target audience all about its benefits, including low cost near that of paper.

{/PROMPT}

I also gave it some other prompts. Then I joined it all together to form this blog post – competition announcement.

 

So, the article is real it’s just that chatGPT helped me to put my thoughts into words. Please let me know what you would call my new battery separator material in my contact form.

Educating about “Eternal Blue” and Microsoft’s Efforts: Insights from Brad Smith’s “Tools and Weapons”

 

Hey everyone! Today, I wanted to share some eye-opening insights from Brad Smith’s remarkable book, “Tools and Weapons,” focusing on a critical topic that affects us all: “Eternal Blue.”

 

“Eternal Blue” refers to a powerful cyber weapon that was originally developed by the United States National Security Agency (NSA). However, it fell into the wrong hands and was ultimately weaponized, causing widespread havoc and disruptions across the globe.

 

In his book, Brad Smith, the President of Microsoft, sheds light on the urgent need for collective action to address the challenges posed by cyber threats like Eternal Blue. He emphasizes the importance of collaboration between governments, organizations, and individuals to tackle the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity.

 

One of the key takeaways from “Tools and Weapons” is the vital role that technology companies, including Microsoft, play in defending against cyber threats. Brad Smith outlines the immense responsibility Microsoft bears and the proactive steps they are taking to protect users’ privacy and security.

Microsoft recognizes that cybersecurity is a shared responsibility, and they actively engage with governments and organizations worldwide to develop robust defenses against threats like Eternal Blue. They invest heavily in research, technology, and talent to stay one step ahead of adversaries.

Moreover, the book highlights the importance of transparency, ethics, and accountability in shaping the technology landscape. Brad Smith emphasizes the need for a Digital Geneva Convention, which would establish clear rules and norms for cyberspace to safeguard individuals and nations alike.

By raising awareness about Eternal Blue and the broader challenges in cyberspace, we can collectively work towards a safer and more secure digital future. It’s crucial that we educate ourselves, our friends, and our family members about these issues and the efforts being made by organizations like Microsoft.

 

So, let’s dive into “Tools and Weapons” and equip ourselves with knowledge and insights to navigate the complex world of cybersecurity. Together, we can create a more resilient and protected online environment.

 

If you’re interested in learning more, I highly recommend grabbing a copy of Brad Smith’s book. Let’s join forces and empower ourselves to address the challenges of the digital age head-on!

 

Additionally, Brad Smith’s book also highlights his confidence in the potential of AI to help us cure cancer within the next 10 years and tackle numerous other challenges for the betterment of humanity.
