I've got an exciting new project I've been roped into!

Having looked over existing online auction solutions, I'll shortly be implementing my own under-engineered one! To be used for raising funds for lawyers to sue my government for not taking needed action on the climate crisis.

I've landed on using Lua for this, with email-based auth. "Low Bid" sounds like a nice name for the software...

The mission's not going so well... I'm still playing Star Cadre: Combat Class regularly. Hard mode is still a challenge, as you can see. #starcadre #ibmpc #msdos #cga

i want to communicate a reframing of a lefty attack on “billionaires and inequality” into one of radically questioning what wealth is, ultimately to see things like transforming the land relation as necessary aspects of a just transformation. it isn’t that they’re rich. the money is made of blood

I'm honored to be "that ed person" for you. Because I'm misusing ed in so many ways. Including... website generation! Check out my new post detailing how I'm building my website with ed(1)

#TIL there's dc(1), UNIX Polish notation calculator with stack manipulation: https://manpage.me/?q=dc

The onion lost its bid

Any good jazz you can recommend?

Last week I released fully documented source code for Elite on the Commodore 64.

I've now added this version to my https://elite.bbcelite.com website, where the source code is syntax-coloured, cross-referenced, indexed and categorised.

It fits in nicely with the seven other Elite sources on there!

My next task is to write about 10 deep dives into the unique aspects of C64 Elite, linking to the relevant bits of code on the website so you can follow along.

Then I'll move on to the Apple II version, which is the only version of 6502 Elite that I haven't yet analysed.

Going for the full house! 🙂

So I did something very cursed tonight.

And we are live! This VM/OS related blog post talks about how I plan on implementing sandboxes for filesystem access. This will let me write tooling intended to support VM/OS for VM/OS itself even in its nascent state.

Enjoy!

(And, shameless plug -- if you like where this project is going, perhaps you might want to help chip in while I am looking for gainful employment? You can do so at my Ko-Fi page! Many thanks!!)

Finished doom shareware for doom's 31st birthday.

Oh Frank, you so and so...

MiniDisc player arrived today. I've only got one MiniDisc at the moment, so naturally I'm burning a compilation of Waveshaper's singles to test it out.

Happy DEC-10 day! This year to support our 36bit efforts we’ve introduced SDF Hot Sauce as a fundraiser item.
