Another FORTH interpreter roams the Earth!

*RSS Club* Wow, I wasn't expecting yesterday's rant to appear HN.

*RSS Club* HATE-FILLED RANT: What the hell is going on at my local public school system?

I now have two machines set up to auto-login and I love it.

I was afraid I'd lost the beginings of a new project when my old EeePC (circa 2007) drive finally became corrupted.

*RSS Club* Exclusive SECOND followup to the previous "nosurf" post.

(OLD PERSON RANT WARNING) It turns out, I do regret posting this to my Virtual Box of Cards.

My OpenBSD exploration begins!

*RSS Club* Hey, if you read my feed, I guess you care what I'm up to.

I've made a big addition to my "Setup2" article about personal computer management with Git and Stow.

I resisted the urge as long as I could.

*RSS Club* Exclusive followup to the previous "nosurf" post.

This was just a "shower thought", but it turned into into an IndieWeb "reply".

I already knew this, but sometimes it's really pleasant to turn yourself into a factory worker on your own project...

After tiring of jumping through ridiculous hoops to privately share Wordle results with family, I created a really simple Perl CGI application to do the job...

Okay, I've done it!

I call it my "log system" and I've been keeping it for almost a decade.

I had a dream: * A low power, always-on computer I could SSH into from any other computer in the house. * All of my projects and data in Git repos available for cloning and updating from any computer in the house. * My personal Linux/UNIX configuration ("…

**RSS Club Exclusive** This is a bit of a rant, but I want to get it off my chest and I'm tired of unloading this stuff on my long-suffering wife.

Really pleased with how easy it is to examine the parts of the voxel destruction physics game Teardown.

Over the last three months, I've developed an unusual little nighttime routine: after reading bedtime stories to the kids, I hop into bed and instead of reaching for a fiction book, I'm turning on my 14-year old Asus eeePC 701 miniature laptop and writing…

I'm very excited to have finished a hardware project: a productivity "multitimer" based on the Raspberry Pi Pico (PR2040 microcontroller).

Websites with designs that appear to end at the bottom of the screen have always been a problem.

I'm making good on my earlier promise to start publishing more of my notes in public so others can benefit from them and where I am more likely to find them myself!

*** RSS-CLUB EXCLUSIVE!

This is an idea I've been mulling over for a long time: keeping a personal timeline of history.

(RSS-Club: this missive is feed-only.

***RSS Club*** Shhhh!

I made a cardboard "laptop" or "luggable" computer featuring a 7-inch LCD display and a Raspberry Pi Zero.

I figured out how to decode I2C serial data from a microcontroller to another device with my Siglent SDS1202X-E Oscilloscope and it was totally awesome!

Though much of it is sparsely commented, the Zig standard library is quite readable.

I've finally added a feed to the site!
