@vyr Oooh. And it's actively being tested on a Jornada 720, which gives me strong hope that my Jornada 680 might take it. It'll be great fun to finally get that thing Online.

PDA/palmtop fans take note: someone's doing a PCMCIA equivalent of the PicoGUS/PicoIDE/PiSCSI/etc., a swiss army knife I/O device but specifically targeting low-power host devices like the HP 200LX, Newton, etc.

modern WiFi! Bluetooth! USB! sound! storage emulation! all the toys.

not sure how useful this will be for PowerBook people, but there were enough PCMCIA Ethernet cards that surely one of them was based on the NE2000 that PicoPCMCIA emulates?

The world has changed by immeasurably vast amounts. Number Two and the programmer barely know each other anymore. They've never been on the same page, but now it's unclear if they're even reading the same book.

It's a concept. I don't know if I have a real driving force to the story at all, or if it would be a stream of consciousness the way the original game ended up being. It bears more thinking, I guess.

The base concept, I figure, is that we're still following the life of code page 437, character 002, the ubiquitous smiley face character. He's long out of work and still living in a single room apartment with no real furnishings. He doesn't know what happened to his neighbors, and the ostentatious castle next door that housed the dev team of the original game has been just a gravel lot for years.

His life has been quiet for 25 years. But suddenly, he hears The Programmer again.

25 years ago, I made a Megazeux "comedy" game called "Life of Mr. ASCII." I was young and impressionable and the game was not especially funny.

I keep thinking that I should do a sequel. It would probably come with a very different tone, and end up being at least partially autobiographical. Which would make it at least a little bit depressing and pessimistic.

I have nothing on paper for this idea yet, aside from this post. But I haven't really Made Things lately, and I should.

Adding a question mark to Snowmouse. There's a part of me that thinks the question mark is too cool for this font, but what the heck, maybe i can be too cool for one glyph.

Thanks to the sterling efforts of Aaron White, we're able to share something a little different today - rare and previously unpreserved #Amiga Public Domain disks, featuring music demos and PD catalogue files.

A few years ago I wrote about all the Myst parodies I knew of and I think MobyGames has actually added a couple not on here since then, so I should probably update it soon

Hey so whenever I've had stuff for sale, the fan-famiclone-handhelds have always been the most popular thing
SO I'm just wondering if I got a small batch of these "500 in 1" folding ones
a) would you want one (priced around Β£15 probably)? b) what colour?
