Implemented the bird enemy in #opencrystalcaves

This is no simple enemy - it drops eggs on you, which normally break open and leave a hazard on the ground, but 10% of the time it hatches into a little bird! So the effort was 4x normal […]

Shameless self promotion. If you like 80s Metal, this'll probably be your thing.

BBC Breakfast this morning had a long segment about the 30th anniversary of Windows 95. So what vintage computer did they put in the studio as a handy prop?

If I hold up a banner that says, “Stop killing children, stop killing civilians,” and it doesn't mention any names, but you automatically take offence, it's probably because you support the killing of children and civilians

Imagine a browser plugin, that would use a Virtua Cop 2 sound sample to shout "RELOAD" every time you hit F5. For a bonus it might flash the text and draw the player UI while the page loads.

It has no point besides being fun.

Screenshot from the arcade videogame Virtua Cop 2. There is a wall with an armed bad guy firing through the window. On left, for player one huge red letters with yellow outline shouts reload with all caps. In the bottom left corner there is an empty revolver magazine showing no bullets left. A health display is also visible showing a single shield. On the right there is a small text: "Press start" as player two is inactive. In the middle, small white text says: "Credits 5" meaning that the players can continue playing after losing five times.

My home desktop - 1 March 2000 - a Pentium 233 MMX.
The OS was Debian Linux - you can see a printed Tux near the keyboard.
No broadband connection, just a 56k modem.
Iomega Zip drive - so I could download stuff at Uni and bring it back home.
One year later […]

A late 1990s - early 2000s computer setup on a white desk, featuring a large beige Sony CRT monitor, a beige tower PC with front-facing floppy disk and CD-ROM drives, an external 56k modem, a beige keyboard, and various scattered items such as CDs, cables, and glasses. Behind the monitor is a large black Sony speaker, and a motorcycle poster hangs on the wall. The photo’s timestamp reads “1.3.2000.”
