Notes

really happy to have discovered something hiding in plain sight for several years: robyn & rand miller's original Myst pitch document from 1991.

it's a succinct work of art in itself. i'm surprised at how much of the world design was already on paper.

as all of the copies found elsewhere online are heavily compressed webp/jpeg, i've uploaded the robyn's original PNGs to IA here:

does anyone remember this

me: hey bank can you move some of this money to my savings account over at that bank? you've done it hundreds of times

bank: sure, it'll get there in 2 days

me: oh, can i pretend i'm sending a zelle payment to myself?

bank: sure, it'll be there in 2 seconds

why is ach still so slow

hello, cyberpals

what are you working on lately?

hello past me

where does the time go

Once a device can boot multiuser, compile its kernel, and has display and keyboard drivers, all further development for it must be done on the device itself

Sorry, it's the law

(November 2025 was when Claude Opus 4.5 was released)

I over-use parentheses because I don't like having to think about the order of operations every time I glance at my code but from now on I'm going to use this as my justification so I don't seem so dumb

I finished watching Better Call Saul again and felt compelled to make this

I don't get why Mastodon didn't standardize on an informal mastodon: protocol or something so all mobile apps could register as a protocol handler for it and the Mastodon web app could try to open that as a link href before falling back to https:

It's dumb having the iOS Mastodon app only open when a mastodon\.social profile or post is tapped on from Safari but everyone on a different instance or using a 3rd party mobile app requires a copy, open app, search, paste, tap

This is super cool, another neat project from @jcs where he does porting dev cycles on hardware that can brick itself if you mess up and be frustrating to recover, but he is a cyberpal to you and me, providing these neat views into how wizards work!

Ted Fried, aka MicroCore Labs, is back with another Teensy-based drop-in CPU emulator, this time for the 16/32-bit Motorola 68000, as seen here running on an original Macintosh 512K motherboard

I found the perfect USB-C charger for the Pomera DM250XY

Is it wednesday already? Then it's time for the next parts of the #OpenBSD/m88k story.

In these parts, m88k systems get to finally enjoy ELF binaries with shared libraries, hardware support improves, and luna88k gets the best bootloader, ever.
