Yup, that’s right! You can now find it at shepherding.services! Because shepherding services is what it does all day long.

A close up macro photo of a commodore sx-64’s shadow mask crt showing individual red green and blue colour triplets lit up in the vague shape of a blurry letter Z and &. The letters appear white to the eye. The un-lit phosphor dots also show not being lit up, and  their colour is almost discernible too.

We retrieved from an old archive "NoteCards User’s Guide" V2.0 and added it to the source tree. Published in 1991, this manual better matches the NoteCards code that comes with Medley Interlisp but some of the information the document provides is now only of historical value.

Oh hey look, I published a new , “Advanced Self-Aware ed(1)”! It’s about what madness can one commit when one decides to not use proper systems and goes all in on accidental/awkward -completeness. As discussed with @whitequark

The Black Panther Party was founded in 1966.

From a 2016 article commemorating its 50th anniversary:

"The work of the Black Panthers remains important for several reasons. First, they remind us that the problem of police brutality has long been with us [...]

Second, the BPP offers a good model of grassroots activism and ideology in practice."

A lot went on in the 2½ years it took to develop . Planning, the creation of a wargame library, the coding itself, and building the content for the supplied campaign were all major phases in that time. I talk about this in a blog post at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/199/barren-planet-the-process

The campaign definition file for the First Landing campaign. One of the major phases of development was building this content. Each of the sixteen battles had a briefing for each side, a victory debrief for each side, and a defeat debriefing for each side: a total of six short documents for each battle: 96 in all. This added to all the battle details like the map and unit disposition, and the graphics for the campaign, was a lot of content.

quite frustrated with how many arduino projects are based primarily on microsoft windows.

Thinking about the Tiny BASIC I wanna write.

For some reason I am very daunted about trying to get serial working in AVR assembly.

I was thinking of testing to see if I could reverse strings and then emit them to serial on my workstation.

Good morning fediverse! 🌞
