"Over the last three months, I’ve developed an unusual little nighttime routine: after reading bedtime stories to the kids, I hop into bed and instead of reaching for a fiction book, I’m turning on my 14-year old Asus eeePC 701 miniature laptop and writing x86 assembly language. "

I can't stop thinking about making a DAW, something like Cubase on Macintosh.

It's keeping me up at night, and as much as I try to tell myself that it's completely stupid, I don't need a daw, I don't even know what I would do with the thing even, I don't need to write more software, it's just-no, the idea is still there, and it's stopping me from thinking about other things which is taking its toll.

I think I'll have to just get it over with so I can move on with my life.

Let's go see my pretties 🌱

GIMP's default shortcuts:

- B, for the Pen tool
- P, for the Brush tool

What even the fuck

Spent all morning looking through wintery pictures of Cappadocia(Turkey).

Found some very pretty kelp looking lichen.

MOVE ASIDE SMALLTALK

Mission accomplished, maybe I should write a book or something.. :mac:

The very first step of the Uxn REPL. This tiny inline assembler will allow me to make a rom that will act as a sort of playground for new adventurers.

Progressing on the REPL. Showing the prompt, stack and assembled program side-by-side.

The REPL now supports multi-line editing and I've hidden most of the debug widgets for a cleaner UI.

The Bicycle can now assemble hello world 🚴

This is turning into quite the livecoding environment.

That's it, I've re-written Hydra..

I seriously hate that the default #uxn rom is a launcher, a way that only lets you launch pre-made programs.

I found this excellent comment the other day that explains this better than I could:

"Early computers were designed from the ground up to be truly general purpose. When you turned them on, you'd be presented with the word READY, and a blinking cursor. It was an open invitation to PROGRAM the machine! This is no mere appliance, it's a beckoning gateway to intellectual discovery!"

@tagomago crossing an ocean is alright(https://100r.co/live/) but crossing the north-west passage to find the atlantic is a .. project. We're slowly working our way there.

@tagomago glad to hear you enjoyed it! I think between FSF and XOXO, you've seen the most interesting ones :)

Software Doldrums
by Rek and Devine of Hundred Rabbits.

This talk, which was featured as a keynote at LibrePlanet 2022, is about the dangers and shortcomings of relying on always-online proprietary platforms. Hundred Rabbits will share how they reimagined their software to encourage the reuse, repair and maintenance of existing hardware.
