In Hyde's recent Over/Under series of interview posts, David left the question "If you could be transported back in history to a period of time, when would it be and why?" for the next participant, who happened to be Elena Rossi. She gave a great answer, and then David and Hyde answered the same question too on...

A few weeks ago I gave myself permission to skip the intro of these posts if I can't think of anything interesting or clever to say, and I skipped it twice since then. Well, I've been informed that people miss the intro, so I'm going to do my best to bring it back ;) There's just not a lot happening in my life...

Articles No Juniors Today, No Seniors in 2031 — Blog | Filipe Brito Ferreira — Front-End EngineerA depressing article about where the tech industry is headed thanks to short-sighted CEOs replacing junior positions with incompetent AI.

When I was young, I was a huge AC/DC fan. I started listening to them probably around the time I got my driver's license, maybe a year or so earlier, and I remember driving around in my Dad's tiny blue Ford Fiesta blaring AC/DC at full volume. I loved it, while everybody else probably thought I was a complete dork....

I think I say this every year, but I'm really not a fan of summer. At least not when it's over 30°C, that's just too hot for me. Well we just had a week of 30°C and more, and it's not even June yet! If that's the temperature in May, I'm really not looking forward to what we get in July and August... maybe it won't...

I love the Windows 98 era of computing and gaming, but until now I didn't really have a good Windows 98 computer. Old Pentium systems are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, especially if you also want to have a period correct GPU like a 3dfx Voodoo card. Not to mention that a desktop PC takes up a lot of...

I enjoy playing around with old computers and software from the 90s and early 2000s. My childhood computer was the Amiga 500 which I still have and which I love dearly, but the Windows 9x/XP era of computing is the most nostalgic for me because this coincides with my teenage years and my early 20s, and there are...

Last week I shared a post by David about backing up his blog. Except, due to a brain fart on my part, I called him Glyn, who is someone else entirely. Why? I have no idea... maybe I started writing the post before I had coffee. Thankfully people are paying more attention to what I write here than I am, because not...

Recently I've been struggling to find things to write in the intro of these posts, or finding things to write on the blog in general. I'm kind of in a creative slump it seems... and I don't really know what to do about it except wait it out and see when the creativity comes back. Don't worry, the linkdumps aren't...

It's time somebody invented beaming. And it doesn't have to be beaming a person at first, though that would be ideal... but maybe we could start with small objects. For example, I usually write these posts at my favourite café downtown. But I haven't been feeling too well the last couple of days, so I have to stay...

Yesterday the new Commodore, run by YouTuber Perifractic (Christian Simpson) announced their new product, a faithful recreation of the C64C, the second revision of the Commodore 64. Essentially it's the same as the first one they released, but it uses the case of the old C64C which has the same design language as...
