Hey Everyone,

Not too long ago over on The Serial Port's YouTube channel they dove into a BBS software I hadn't previously heard of: Impulse.

They interviewed the developer of the software (Brandon Sneed aka Nivenh), compiled it from source and later fixed a Y2K bug so it can run today.

There's even a shout out to jack phlash of Demonic.

Check out the video here:

And the source code of Impulse here:
