Croc Legend of the Gobbos remaster originally launched as an exclusive to GOG, but that's not going to last with a newer edition announced and a Steam release.

beep, we're back online

Spent some time working on "fumiko" last night, a small hypertext system written in Common Lisp.

It is named after the anarchist from Japan who attempted to kill the Emperor.

Super hyped up. When it's accepted I can finally feel like an adult standard person.

New blog post! A look at the region converter hidden in some early NES games, an analysis of an NES epoxy blob cart, and an attempt to repair a broken Famicom cartridge. A bit disconnected but I hope you enjoy! https://nicole.express/2025/not-just-for-robert.html

I recreated Jef Raskin's 1987 'Canon Cat' user environment and observed myself as I lived in it for a week.

Implementation details, surprises, and more in the essay.

(Why touch grass when you can read 3.2k words on user environments?)

Fuckin..

@stman dm me, comrade

@vidak I added a ‘text editor’ to Radio Shack BASIC. That is, you could get back the previous input line and edit it, like you can with history in a modern shell.

My Trash-80 had a homebrew lowercase modification, too. We took a chance my design would work, and it did. Largely using spare gates that were on the board.

The text editor I used was one I adapted from 8080 code in Byte or Dr. Dobbs magazine. It worked by a cursor gap. So did my BASIC line editor (implemented in Z80).

This is no longer the repo

This is the new repo

First day at my new job is finished.

Wrote my time sheet entry for today and everything.

I think I can do this.
