My favorite days at work are when I get to use the Win32 API. It's so fun and flexible. And I'm not being sarcastic. SendMessage is the greatest! It's a joy to use!

Nice addition to the office #atari

Episode 71 of the Jeff Reads His Book #podcast is out now! Since I've totally forgotten to post about it in weeks, why not try catching up with this plot (hint: it's bad) and the book's characters (hint: they're generally unlikable)!

My old composite capture card does pretty okay with the #Rainbow 100 as input. Top line is still cut off to some extent...

On a whim, I tried popping my old Bt848 PCI capture card in my semi-modern i5 desktop. Lovely to see that it still works! #atari

New coffee machine! It’s glorious!

Starting to populate all this disk space!

Mounted my MFM emulator in the #Rainbow with a little window so I can see the blinkies

I have never seen that much disk space on a #Rainbow!

Finally! One #Rainbow is finally formatting a 67MB hard drive (albeit via an emulated drive)

Minor LR-87 #gemini client updates to add timeouts to read operations from servers. It's been driving me a little nuts...

New snaps are pushed for amd64 and armhf Linux, still need to get the win32 builds out...

Modern machines are tied up with some release testing, so...

Kitchen remodel lunch!

Drastic speed improvements to my LR-87 #gemini (or @gemini) client related to laying out text with long paragraphs. Dumb renderer also no longer displays its "END OF FILE" marker.

Episode 65 of the Jeff Reads His Book #podcast is finally up! Have a listen and write in with your suggestions for fantasy inn and pub names!

Roasted tomato stew

Delicious way to end the day, especially since I ran out of birthday beer this week.

Finished some fun updates to my LR-87 @gemini client to support the new #gemini quote line styling and making the Windows GUI faster and more pleasant to use.

Well, CMake didn’t even configure on the #atari, so it is losing its spot on the desk for a while. Back to storage!

The #atari TT030 has been trying to build CMake for maybe 15 hours now...
