Still time to make us some festive #TeletextArt, if you want to be featured on Finnish television. 😎

Deadline is shortly before the final week in November.

Working on an archive of all (*) Amiga mouse pointers. Back in the day, hand cursors were really popular!

(*all = 70k disks so far, 27k custom preferences, 3k distinct pointer shapes and colors)

Seeing the actual, physical Amiga prototype board at #Amiga40 sure was nice! If you squint hard, you can make out shadows of the Boing demo running in the wirings… 🧐

Cooking up a lil’ Mate wall simulator to distract myself from other ambitious ideas for @deadline-berlin.bsky.social this weekend or just because I love writing tools? 😅

I wish the nerds would have put a kill switch into all their inventions.

Age verification check:

Learned HTML on the Commodore Amiga by looking at page sources, with a dial-up connection that went through a special Datex-J (ex-Bildschirmtext) page that acted as an internet gateway. But that was already the modern days, with a 68030 CPU at 50 MHz and 6 MB of RAM.
Age verification check:

Dialed into Tristate Online, which didnt have a native telnet client, to gopher for “tools surfing net” to get an open telnet to a box where i could fire up TinyFugue to MUSH.

I really miss HTTP referers… While I can understand the security and privacy reasons why the major browsers killed them off, I would really like to know, for example, where the recent spike of interest in heckmeck.de/demoscene/wo... came from in the US.

A new personal record in the effort per silliness ratio, in 512 bytes. Don’t know if it’s above or below 1.0 though – it’s *really* silly and niche. 😅

Erst mal einen schönen schwarzen Kaffee, heiß und lecker!

Ran out of excuses not to write that little sizecoding tool I always wanted to write. Great fun and gains – or rather, losses! -20 bytes so far…

(It lists the most frequent bytes, words, and opcodes in the uncompressed code and data, so I can try to reuse them.)

Wikipedia einerseits (unbeholfen wie ein Grundschulaufsatz) und andererseits: auch unbeholfen, aber mit Absicht?

Kann mir vorstellen, dass Wilhelm Genazino dieses hübsche Biographiefragment (zweites Bild) gefallen würde.

Was dreaming that the Vatican’s infrastructure would stop working after a prolongued period without a pope. The pope helicopter wouldn’t take off without a passenger, and
eventually Indiana-Jones-like ancient contraptions would be triggered by the empty throne:
