From July 31st to August 3rd, the 25th Silly Venture went down! I cranked out a few tiny 256-byte prods for the party, and one of them even snagged 3rd place in the 256b intro compo. Wanna check it out? Hit up Demozoo (demozoo.org/productions/...) or catch it on YouTube: youtu.be/cB3pkLAJHjI?...

Last weekend was the Nova 2025 demoparty in the UK. I worked on a couple of the productions released there.
I made a 4Kb Executable Graphics picture "void main".

Helen Keller can teach us a lot about AI training.

Blind and deaf, Helen didn’t realize the symbols her teacher signed had meaning.


It wasn’t until the teacher poured cold water over Helen’s hand while *simultaneously* signing that things clicked; a multi-modal experience.

Another ray marching packed into 256 bytes! I really enjoy these fractal scenes — there’s something truly mesmerizing about them.

Another phenomenal production from Revision 2025 — this time in the 256-byte intro category. I'm amazed, because fitting a voxel space and music into just 256 bytes is truly an achievement!

Revision 2025 is over - some truly standout productions. One that really stuck with me was Epitaph for the Living by ASD. Dark, heavy, haunting - gave me bigger chills than リング Still can’t stop thinking about it. Pure demo art!

Another small project: repairing and refurbishing another old (1970) magneto-electric voltmeter... Let's start with the internals. A 1968 polystyrene capacitor? Still works... but the voltage dividers are broken. Let's try to fix them...

Thanks to one of my friend, I was fortunate enough to own the iconic 630-APL meter from Triplett. Bought for little, destroyed by the USPS, finally saved from death! Glued and repaired, now works great! The precision of the measurements of this 37-year-old meter surprised me 🤯

Do you remember the time when there was no FLASH in town? 😉 Developing code for microcontrollers without FLASH memory meant that every line of code had to be thought out a hundred times. Erasing an EPROM-based MCU with UV light took time, and neither DEBUG nor ICP was possible..

When, after more than 20 years, you take out and clean up your old monochrome monitor, you start playing MEGABLAST on Your 8-bit Atari and suddenly, you smell something burning, followed by the sound of a small explosion... You start to wonder - could Unitra have invented 7D cinema? 😉
