I was gazing into the void when I realized the void was gazing into me. Wait, no?
“Luna?”
*mrow*
“Wheres void?”
「I’m here, just refilling the litterbox」
“You got a litterbox for Luna? That’s so sweet”
「She hangs out with me a lot when you’re out」
“Wait the void has cat litter?”
「I get it delivered. Nipping out to the shops didn’t go so well that one time」
Michael McDonald - "No Lookin' Back"
[Verse 1]
I'm fading out of sight
My wheels are the only sound
Runnin' at the speed of light
I can't slow down
Out on the open road
Racing to beat the night
No matter where I go
Guess I'll get there all right
[Pre-Chorus]
So why don't I understand
What's trippin' me up
It used to be a simple thing
[Chorus]
I can't hold on, and I can't return
Time to let go, start to live and learn
[Verse 2]
I took the one way flight
Too high to see the ground
Now I know how long it takes
A heart to come down
[Pre-Chorus]
So why don't I understand what's trippin' me up
I know it oughta be a simple thing
[Chorus]
I can't hold on, and I can't return
Rivers will run, and bridges will burn
I'm not sure just how (I'm not sure just how)
But there's no lookin' back now
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I can't hold on, I can't return
Rivers will run, bridges will burn
I'm not sure just how (I'm not sure just how)
But there's no lookin' back now
I can't hold on (I can't hold on), I can't return
Rivers will run (Rivers will run), bridges will burn
I'm not sure just how
But there's no lookin' back now
[Outro]
No lookin' back now
No lookin' back now
No lookin' back now
No lookin' back now

Another year, another eviction/reprise notice 🙃 I'm gonna start framing them!

I gave a talk on Elite at hack::soho earlier in the year, and the video’s now available on YouTube. It's a whirlwind tour of three fascinating aspects of Elite: procedural generation, 3D maths and the split screen.
Gosh, I talk quickly when I’m having fun! 🤣 I hope you like it.
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)

«Recently I’ve been getting this urge to blog like we used to, say fifteen years ago, when we were just discovering what the internet was for. … I’m going to write without concern for an “audience,” without prospects for monetization, without any real concept other than what I want to say at any given moment.»

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! 🙂
