My Commodore 64 Mastodon client is up on GitHub. I’ve tested it the best I can with the amount of time I’ve had between work and school. Hopefully I found most of the bugs. I’d love any feedback. There are already a few things I want to recode and a few more features to add. I’m not a professional programmer and learned the Mastodon API as I went, so if anyone has suggestions they are welcome. Enjoy! #Commodore64 #C64

Whoever named these "ass holes" knew exactly what they were doing and I love them for it.

Hello from Iceland! 👋

Today during Office Hours Video! we discussed some pretty fundamental topics:

- How to deal with scope creep and "Too Much to Do" (and where all this #lightweight/#agile stuff came from)
- Consensus- and Consent-based decision-making approaches
- The feeling of Immeasurability and how that makes one's job position feel insecure

I really like the opportunity to Get Back to Basics, as it were.

Monochrome Kung-Fu-Flash have been popular this week. Hence I've had to make a quick top up batch before I get my head down.

I have a lot of GitHub notifications to catch up on, and today's the day I start making a dent in them again. And I figured I may as well stream it. So, if you're curious about open-source maintenance work, come join me as I work through them! Starting in ~15m.

Writing a d81 disk image to a real 1581 connected to a #C64 via ethernet (RRNet Mk3) sure takes a while... Still, good way to do it. Looking forward to trying the new VDC Mode Mania v1.2 demo later tonight on my #C128D :-)

I have a thing for blue operating systems. That includes the C64, of course.

Not just "seem to exist"

College used to be cheap. Then Roger Freeman (worked for Nixon and Reagan) said

“We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat. … That’s dynamite! We have to be selective on who we allow [to go to college].”

Reagan agreed. So they changed state college tuition structure to what it is today. And now here we are. 🤷🏿‍♂️

"A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation."

Also played around with getting MacPPP and MacTCP working so I could connect this to the internet! System 6 is a little limited for WebBrowsers with only MacWWW in this case.

MacWWW is limited it in does not support the Hostname field so only servers who respond at their IP address default will work.

I bet my girlfriend that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon.

She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 13 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle so hard to comprehend large numbers.

Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.

I intended to read today, but my mind decided it wanted to sleep, then write.

I feel so grateful to have the option to do that.
