I went down the Japanese knife rabbit hole over Christmas.

My father was an angler.

Today, workin celebrates its second birthday and the release of version 2.0.

The year of high numbers concludes with a follow-up post to my 2024 Todoist review.

I started cycling back in mid-2020.

The water bottle is an essential cycling accessory.

Organizing my thoughts and shifting mental load to a different medium were both part of my yearly theme.

I published the last post about my NES emulator spirit in December 2022.

I tend to go through periods of obsessive behavior 1.

I listened to lots of Cortex podcast episodes over the last months.

During the process of designing a new logo, I also stumbled across the idea of creating one featuring my favorite animal: the alpine newt 1.

If I had to describe this blog in two words, it would be time sink.

Despite their name, smart trainers are pretty dumb out of the box.

A lot of emulation comes down to bit manipulation.

The transition time between two side projects is something I like a lot.

The previous post was meant to mark the end of sprite and drizzle development.

Hello ladies and gentlemen!

Progress over the last months has been quite slow.

The next project in the pipeline is a Game Boy emulator written in my own programming language.

The latest version of drizzle adds the remaining language features required to implement a basic emulator.

Following some weeks of pause and slow progress, I finally found the motivation to work on the remaining language features required to implement a Game Boy emulator in my own programming language.

drizzle now supports functions and starts to look like a proper programming language.

drizzle started with a single-pass compiler.

I made some good progress with drizzle.

Creating a programming language has been on my mind for a while, and the paperback release of Crafting Interpreters, as well as the 1.1 release of eggvance, finally gave me the time and motivation to start working on it.

These were some productive weeks for me.

2020 came to an end and left me with an output of two progress reports and a simple, short release note.

I finally reached a point in development where I was not utterly discontent with the code I wrote and decided to release the second version of my emulator.

Over four months have passed since the last progress report.

Hello there!

This month in your favorite emulator: a complete rewrite.

One month has passed since the last progress report, and I'm back with another one.

I finished my introduction project to C++ at the end of last year.
