My Mac locked up nice right after renewing my Apple Developer account... Just instant regret.

A little teaser from my upload of episode 89 of the Jeff Reads His Book #podcast...

Transferring some of today’s #NaNoWriMo work...

Drunken mages engaging in a magical fight while trying not to spill drinks... Now that’s literature! #NaNoWriMo

Love writing some #Rainbow direct video access and firmware keyboard access in #lua!

395 words is not how I wanted day 1 of #NaNoWriMo to go.

A little smaller than I had hoped for...

More specifically, I despise my #NeXT cube, and my patience for my #Atari TT030 has basically run out. Also, the power supply on this big, 'ol VAX 4000 is screwed up and the #Alpha is just useless. I feel like putting them all on the curb would make me happier.

And no, you can't have them for free...

Having vintage computers is hard. I really hate most of it at this point, so I want to sell it. Then again, I don't want to be ripped off or go through the hassle, so maybe it should all go in the trash.

I'm trolling my Mom and sisters for a "soy-free" cookie recipe. Who puts soy in cookies!?!

A little write-up of what I think of my DEC Alphaserver:

Episode 84 of the Jeff Reads His Book #podcast is out now! Do you enjoy terrible descriptions of setting, including, but not limited to, vague mentions of interconnected hallways? Then this ep is for you!

First #gemini browser in the #Windows Store? I think so...

Warrant returns!

My favorite thing to do on Twitter now is to respond to every "promoted" tweet sarcastically.

After finally figuring out some direct video access, I've posted my modifications to Lua (based on 5.3.5) for the #rainbow 100 computer.

Most interesting is probably the Rainbow-specific library that is compiled in by default:

Episode 81 of the Jeff Reads His Book #podcast is out now! There's a sandwich in this episode! I feel like that was a major theme in Bringing Balance. There were a lot of magic sandwiches in that book...

My 8088-powered #Rainbow running MS-DOS feels orders of magnitude faster than the i5-powered Mac running Catalina sitting next to it...

I love having to add these kind of comments to my code for later...
