Apart from doctors, philosophers, engineers, geologists, chemists, physicists, dentists, computer scientists, optometrists, biologists and pharmacists, I ask you, what have universities ever done for society?
Just tried out #SevenTTY on #MacOS9 on the #iBook G3 and wow!!!! It's not just a fork of ssheven, it's almost a complete shell with lots of utilities too.
Having the greatest internet experience this Friday evening with #IRC and #Gopher!

A native #IRC Client for the #Mega65 and it works pretty good.
No need to use a #C64 Terminal emulator like Novaterm and a Swiftlink modem connection for this when there's a native TCP stack.

Something AMAZING happened tonight. An alpha release of the C64 core for the MEGA65 was announced on the discord and I've been able to confirm that the 1541u2+ works flawlessly, amongst a slew of other interesting cartridges.
This is such a massive feat and in my mind, makes this hands down the best 8 bit computer on the planet right now!

CMYK Circle Galaxies, a nod to space telescope photography. Probably one of the more complex plots I’ve done. The black background alone took 4 passes.

If you want to position yourself as a "digital detox" brand, maybe don’t use genAI and corporate social media quite so excessively in your marketing. It might come across as a bit phoney (pun intended).

New video! Inspecting and refurbishing a very special (to me) Commodore 64 that has been in the Beta family since the 1980s.

Sun rise on the beach usually makes me smile.
The other month I left my full time job, partly due to feeling bored and burnt out, partly due to a bunch of AI nonsense, and partly because I wanted to work on building electronics and selling synthesizers.
Well this is one of the synthesizers.
Called Ouroboros, because it's primarily a feedback instrument (how original), and this is still in the prototyping stage where the circuit design is pretty much all done but I need to figure out a better enclosure, how to make it robust, and how to make it feasible to build so I can sell them.
I'll probably be shouting about this a bit more over time.
