Klynok (meaning “saber blade” in Ukrainian) is a shapeshifting type system inspired by Ukrainian Cossack Baroque heritage. It also draws from the image of the Cossack-kharakternyk, a warrior figure from Ukrainian folklore believed to transform into a wolf.

Commited my first opponent! (https://github.com/colinleroy/a2tools/commit/ee358e07527b80a9532115fee51bd4c125f9d953)

They're quite a good defender and not much of an attacker.

I have hopes of being able to implement multiple opponents' "personalities" by tweaking a few variables.

The Frob - A Connoisseur's Guide - was the technical reference manual for the Frob, an #Atari2600 #GameDev system that ran on the Apple II.

A copy is now at the Internet Archive for public use:

We released @TinyGo 0.36 yesterday with so many improvements for WASM/WASI & oh yeah, Go 1.24 support too!

Thank you to the awesome community of human beings who work together across the entire planet to collaborate on this project. You are appreciated!

The Frob was an #Atari2600 #Gamedev system for an #Apple2.

ATARI did not document the 2600. Besides the code in the manual, You had to reverse engineer other games to learn how things worked, seen here using Apple2 monitor.

@europlus Hi, really sorry, I've just now seen your messages (nearly a month later!).

But yes I've had trouble with FTP servers as well. I did patch one specific issue in the FN firmware a while back, but I think there are more issues still with the handshake process. TNFS also works a bit better for writing back to disk images in my experience.

But yeah WebDAV support is only with FN as server for now AFAIK. Jan Krupa just added support for HTTP-based hosts just a couple days ago which is pretty exciting though

FujiNet users: I just released a GUI app to run a local TNFS server on your computer

Makes it super quick & easy to load software directly from your Mac or PC onto your vintage computer, over WiFi.

What if we had YouTube back in 1984?

Just got @colin_mcmillen 's insane WozTubes working on my IIc, with a little help from the man himself.

It did not

@ipaschke ha, yes good point. Maybe I won’t be able to look at them the same afterwards

Hopefully the comforting CRT glow will take the edge off the sense of dread…

Shout out to @mozzwald for setting up a server and @tschak for whipping together clients for all the FujiNet platforms to track US election results.

Shout out to all the other late 90s/early 00s old web nerds who remember Larabie Fonts, and to Ray Larabie who made so, so many fonts and released them for free.

And to Ray again for keeping them archived on Typodermic Fonts for download. https://typodermicfonts.com/downloads/

Really nice recap of VCFMW from Dan Vincent of Userlandia (@kefkafloyd) showing just about every exhibit and giving a brief summary. Next best thing to actually being there—and actually covered a few things that I missed even though I was there, manning my booth (shown @ 12:20).

I released my Apple II things again. This time there is no change in my programs, but the surl-server proxy can now pretend to be a dot-matrix printer, and print whatever your Apple II sends to it!

here’s an amazing tutorial series for creating websites. it’s simple too!

“HTML isn’t only for people working in the tech field. It’s for anybody, the way documents are for anybody. HTML is just another type of document. A very special one—the one the web is built on.”
everyone needs to know this. it’s empowering.
