       That is quite the clever hex-to-decimal converter for the 6502. Embrace constraints and happy Friday!

       Breaking out my 6502 cluster project again. We’ve got science to do!

       Fixing a VIC-20 for someone. That’s a bad clock signal, but it’s also kinda neat looking.

       Just finished building this guy. It's a fun project and a decent learning environment to mash the RP2040 C++ environment with 6502 Assembly. It's an unlikely but surprisingly good pairing. What would be better on the RP2040, though? Rust.

       Found these in a bin this morning. I can throw away all of my other electronics now that I have 4 do anything chips :)

       Supposed to be stormy this afternoon so I’m gonna try and come up with some fun things to do with the Neo6502. This silly benchmark is about 11 times faster than a PAL VIC-20. Should be fun.

       I’ve been making effort to reply or comment on social media rather than just hitting like. Even just a “wow” or “neat” is better than a like. Plus, aren’t we all posting to have community and conversations or is that just me ?

       VIC-20 FPGA VIC replacement Friday lunch break progress. Tweaked quite a bit on the test pattern generator. Clock is dragging just a little and my line duration is VERY close to what a VIC-20 normally puts out. That's an RGBi output on an NTSC VIC-20 without a VIC chip in it. Looks... good actually. Woot! #vicsrevenge

       The update/upgrade process of @Discourse is just so slick. It's one click for both docker and the software itself. I continue to be impressed by this team.I live and breathe the command line, but my hat is off to the people who maintain this product.

       @EdS @Discourse In my experience it's worked every time (better than 1 in 6). I'm not afraid of the command line and fixing things that go sideways ;-)

       Be kind. Rewind. I paid two whole bucks for it.

       Friday timeline cleanse. This calculator has been on my desk this month. It's quite pleasant to use for a very simple device. Plus, it looks fantastic. Happy Friday!

       Focus on who you want to be, not just what you want to be. They’re not the same.

       If you can’t even come up with life changes you want to make on your own…Do. The. Work.

       A little Thursday lunch break fun... I was reading a great (long) article by Stephen Wolfram last night on 50 years of Conway's Game of Life. I decided to dust off some of my attempts at making an implementation I'm proud of and took a crack at an ncurses version in C.First 15 seconds: RandomNext 15 seconds: GliderFollowing 15 seconds: Glider Gun I'm happy with the way this came out.

       @EdS good catch. Every couple runs it does that. I’ll try to fix :)

       Morning before the work week starts shenanigans: Have you ever had a dumb idea for a project, and you want to get it out of your head, only for it to come out in a rush and work the first time? Weird but... simple RSA (12ish Bit) on a Commodore 64 in BASIC:

       Takes about a minute to generate the private key. I wonder what the largest key is that we can generate in under an hour...
