https://spectra.video/w/snsfQGJHVM71ShNnjqiAK8 Lisp podcasts are good and important. please listen.

I wanna sit down and write a 100 line text editor sometime soon. I always end up yak shaving, like I did last week with 2K BASIC. What I think I can do is try and plan a roadmap to actually finishing and then polishing the project. If I had a proper non-spaghetti code text editor for the […]

This project is, and always has been looking for collaborators. It has not been advertised enough that we are looking for people to contribute to the project. You can 'join the committee', and set out your own research plan, and use the resources the project has at its disposal. If you are […]

been working on https://permacomputer.solarpunk.au/, but not ready to release anything on the project profile yet. #Permacomputing #solarpunk #permacomputers

What is goblin week, where does it come from??? #goblinweek

Brand new Spectrum game: JAAM Rivals, by AmikoES. Download: https://amikoes.itch.io/jaam-rivals #zxspectrum #retrogaming

- peoples text editor - a new Tamagotchi (common lisp) - Dandelion BASIC (2K BASIC) - a website for @permacomputer - expand the BASIC code archive These were some of the projects on my mind today.

proud to say https://archive.basiclang.solarpunk.au/ is back online! #retrocomputing

I tried looking at the code for EDIT.BAS again from the permacomputer project and it is just such spaghetti code. I tried unwinding the code out of the electric colons and it still contains GOTOs within GOSUBs. My goodness, in every respect this editor is clever except this critical routine […]

Maybe I will go back to writing Tamagotchis... They're fun to make, it is difficult to find games that are both fun to play, as well as fun to code.

Seriously, the louder folks complain about AI, the more I think they're secretly using it, hey.

Yes you can just cp /var/lib/mysql to a new installation and have it just work, given the database is not completely corrupted. Kinda feel dirty but it worked. #skslan

I ... I think I hate Fallout 4... No other AAA game is this bug-ridden and easy to crash. I absolutely hate the weird component of the DLC Far Harbour where you have to 'hack' this synth's memories. Just lost hours of gameplay progress. Hate it.

trying to think what is worth doing, and my creative block just gets worse...

slowly recovering from backups https://moraleconomy.au/ is back... #skslan #selfhosting

Thinking about a simple text editor written in BASIC... Having studied a few now, I think one in particular could be adapted and refactored into something more intelligible for the modern day. Many of the editors I have here assume a paper teleprinter, and so will make edits that are completely […]

Thinkin' about those type of computer kits where you key in programs and commands using a hex keypad. Systems running CHIP-8 do this. I wonder what little 4K virtual machine I could write that is inspired by CHIP-8, but serves more of my purposes--text editing?

Thinking about BASIC again. Also thinking about what happened to Charon, burning out the SSD and all. I have successfully recovered https://research.moraleconomy.au/. Next will probably be https://moraleconomy.au/. I think the solarpunk.au domain is probably best served as not hosting a fedi […]

Good morning fediverse! 🌞

I think I have decided on the memory map for the 2K Tiny BASIC I am writing. I have also ironed out exactly what the syntax is for the GNU assembly for AVR microcontrollers. Much thanks to the comments @ @permacomputer . Just starting to wrap my head around having so many registers on the […]

Jungle - "GOOD TIMES"

Writing assembly is on my mind again.

I might think on it for a bit, but I may write an introduction to doing assembly for the Arduino within a free software environment. Much of the code out there is written for proprietary compilers that use a different syntax. Despite this, with a few changes you can get code off the internet […]

Good morning fediverse! 🌞

hey, i am starting to lay down code for the Tiny BASIC interpreter -- what name did someone suggest that was related to @neauoire 's "Sunflower BASIC"??

Dear #retrocomputing #lazyweb I'm in need of a stand-alone Hayes software modem emulator that I can hook up to a virtual com port with qemu. A pipe, perhaps? The emulator should let me forward a static number to a particular host:port, or just all numbers to a host:port. Kind of like what […]

An #oldcomputerchallenge would be to go through the process of writing a program/game for an 8-bit micro without any other tools. It would probably look like-- - a reference manual - the micro setup itself - paper and pens I think that would be a lot of fun! #retrocomputing #vintagetech #c64

https://basiclang.solarpunk.au/d/9-tiny-basic-in-2k/6 serial out now working. work seems to be able to proceed a bit faster now that the different conventions between avr-as and avr-gcc are understood. the project is opting to use avr-gcc for the power of its macros, which may come in handy […]

Progress has been made on writing a Tiny BASIC for memory limited microcontrollers. Please find the code for AVR assembly for a working blinking LED demonstration for the Arduino Mega. https://basiclang.solarpunk.au/d/9-tiny-basic-in-2k/5 This forum thread will serve as a devlog for "2K Tiny […]

Vulfmon & Tyler Ballgame - "Gloves Off"

A lot of BASIC is really just rendering assembly opcodes in a way more engaging to humans. This is my current insight into Arduino AVR assembly BASIC projects. It also has important consequences for the collaboration I was hoping for between Common Lisp and BASIC. Writing a BASIC in Lisp is […]

i keep forgetting i have a tilde.town account

sigh. got hugo working.

okay i am just going to use pandoc

okay hugo straight up doesn't work on debian 13 complaining about sass or dart-sass, sassy darts... what the fuckarse reason does hugo need this?

anyone got any good hugo SSG themes for me to try? any you have made yourself? #hugo #ssg #SmallWeb #minimalism #smolnet

just dug this up from previous research-- https://github.com/gmpalter/cl-forth the idea would be to explore FORTH for type-in programs. having the FORTH interpreter written in Common Lisp allows for hosting on ulisp on micro-controllers. this is perhaps over-engineering the solution a little […]

much thanks to @izzy for helping with charon's resurrection today. what i learned: SSDs wear out, silly! #skslan

My TMS7000 disassembler is now minimally functional, and very minimally documented, but I've made a git repository publicly available on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/brouhaha/tms7000 I don't promise that anything works correctly, or that the output can be assembled back to the original binary […]
