It's been the best part of 2 decades since I've loaded software from tape. Can't describe how big the smile on my face is right now

Had a spare hour today, so I threw together a site which renders photos into a CGA-esque graphical style. Nothing special, but a bit of fun!

Finally got my hands on a PC88. It's just a MK-2, and reaaaal grubby, but it's in working order, and came complete in box, with original warranty card. Haven't checked the disc drives yet though, as I don't have anything to test with.

Any game suggestions?

Just set up Immich on an old machine as a photo backup system. Took an hour or so to get up and running, but it's nice to finally be free from the menace of Google Drive!

Recently I picked up this little beauty, without a HDD. It's been a lot of fun trying to get windows 95 installed on a machine that came with no boot media, in an era where floppy disks are unheard of, but I finally got him set up!

Presenting my app WROND! at Google for Startups Tokyo. Great night, had a lot of fun, and hoping it leads to some new oppurtunities!

I realise no-one is going to read this, but I want to keep myself accountable, so I'm going to be writing semi-regularly about what I've been coding recently.

For this week, I've been working on a portfolio page styled as an Amstrad CPC. It's been interesting getting the screen effects working
