At $ork, I’m working with a legacy system people have gotten burned out trying to maintain. In part because it’s built on a huge set of pattern-matching rules.

Yet… I like it! Such a brain teaser trying to come up with a working rule and cleanly transform data.

I’ve been corrupted by @june, @andnull, and @neauoire, all the blame is on them!

Hi guys, I started working at AWS as a Senior Software Developer. A couple of hours ago, I pushed new updates to AWS to speed things up. I have a good feeling about it. I'm so glad for the new job 🙃

💚 my IRC runs without US-EAST-1 💚

it keeps turning out to be a mistake to put one third of the internet in one building

i had a dream that someone on mastodon was scolding me for using corporate toothpaste because didn't i know i could simply code my own toothpaste

So… #aws is down and with it @signalapp
While I like #Signal, it shows, again, how vulnerable centralized services are.

Another #zxspectrum rescued!

Upper RAM issue resolved, still needs a colour tune up but it works.

The edge connector needed scrubbing with a glass fibre pen (IPA was not enough on its own), so that the DivMMC would actually work (M1 line perfectly fine).

But it passes tests now 😎

(NB: yellow line is the monitor, not the Speccy)

Concept name: #AFreePhone or #AppsFreePhone

Build a truly Open (hardware, firmware) dumb phone with a nice e-ink screen first. No apps, no nothing, just a device that can make and receive calls, has a bit of memory to store a list of important phone numbers and that's it. No GPS, no camera, no internet, nothing. Make it run for weeks on a battery charge instead. A SD Card slot where people can put stuff on. Like Wikipedia. eBooks. To read offline and without being tracked.

1/3

Seeing @jwildeboer talking about the appeal of a fully open hardware/software phone, without internet connectivity... With an eInk screen...

That sounds like a fun project to take part in! And I'd certainly enjoy having such a phone, if it can work reliably on my local telecoms!

Anyone keen to collaborate? Or fund me to work on it?

I'm curious how little software it'd need, & what the cell network protocols are.

I have this idea for a video game where there's a fast travel option but every time you fast travel there's a 12% chance that instead of taking you to your destination it instead drops you off an entirely different place and then there's an ultrahard on-foot section to get back to the regular map. I will call this game "the Toronto Transit Commission"

Trying to remember a game I saw a few months ago: you place leaves and vines and stuff on street signs and over pass signs so they get all over grown. I think it was on itch.io, anyone remember what I am talking about?

Update: @chipperdoodles solved my mystery. It's called Cloud Gardens

I keep trying to tell people about #FujiNet.
That it is a WiFi adapter for your favorite #Atari8bit, #Apple2, #ColecoAdam, #TRS80CoCo, #Commodore, #Atari2600, #AtariLynx, and #MSDOS machines, with more to come.

But word isn't getting out.
