I'm just a lonely orange cat watching the moon from the windowsill on a starry night. I'm not a social media profile, or an end-point where you can push replies. I'm a person.

This is backdated 'cause I was too tired on Thursday. After a lot of changes and fixes, Batch Basic now has two editions with different features and requirements. It's also more complete now, and works better than ever. Last but not...
When I mirrored Ripen Forth on Codeberg earlier this month, I didn't expect to kick off an entire development cycle. It just sort of happened, so now there's a new major version, a new port, and plans for another major iteration. But not...
I finally bit the bullet and got rid of some posts from my blog archive I don't stand by anymore. They were already excluded in robots.txt; now they're gone for good. Yes, I kept the manuscripts; no, you can't have them. And by the way,...
Every half a year or so, I get the urge to update my personal wiki, and this autumn is no exception. For once however I have high hopes that the habit is going to stick for a change. See inside for news, explanations and of course...
A while ago, I started adding to my Basic programming section, with notes and sample code for various dialects that grabbed my attention, but didn't go far. I'm finally catching up these days with entries about FreeBasic and wwwBasic....
If you're reading this, you probably know what RSS is and how to use it. Others still don't, and explanations they can find online often read like, "don't worry your pretty little head and just use this web app". We can do better....
I've been silent for a couple of months again, but not absent! And now I'm back with another big update to my webcomic catalog, that should make it more useful and easier to maintain. Turns out there are almost three hundred of them now...
After doing some other things for a while, I'm back to improving the website, namely my personal web directory. I have good news and bad news: on the one hand now there are more categories, making it easier to find certain things. On the...
I'm a text-oriented person, but sometimes a picture really is worth a thousand words. Problem is, diagramming software is often slow and clumsy. And it's more precise to generate diagrams from a textual description anyway. But ways to do...
With my blog on the way out, I'm still going to need a place to post the occasional short thought that's too long for the link log. For the past few months, I used the wiki for that, but that didn't feel quite right. Well, thanks to a...
Sometimes an idea needs time to coalesce. So it happened with my first mecha story ever, a flash fic titled Robot 55. It was a surprisingly long time in the making, seeing how I grew up with stories like that, like most kids of the 80s...
You might have noticed a couple new links on the homepage as of a few days ago: to a wiki and "uses this" page, respectively. It's yet another attempt to find a home for various fragments of text that I could never fit together in a...
Finally gave up and added a linklog to my web directory, back-filled with about 150 old links. I like how stream-of-consciousness it is: an insight into how news find me. And of course I promptly used it to make a couple of unrelated...
Might as well announce it here too. As of a few days ago, I finally managed to gather all my interactive fiction writing in one place: twenty articles written over a period of ten years, between 2011 and 2020, on a variety of topics....
I've done it again. This time it's not an essay, but a work in progress: an overview of all the things people are doing to claw back the 'net from corporations. I hope you'll find it useful.
