VisiCorp Visi On operating system homebrew progress report: I finally figured out the main loop for the application. I still need to find out how the syscalls "create application" and "define window" work. I still have no idea how to draw in the window, how to get mouse coordinates (only click or menu events), how to create on-screen buttons, or access file systems. I can beep for you, though.

This might be the beginning of the first-ever third-party program for Visi On, and the first program for Visi On in the last 40 years or so.

Here's my proposed rules to fix major league baseball:
1: a player can only play for a team if they were born in said teams city or have been resident for at least 10 years before signing
2:player salaries by dollar amount are out, player salaries by 1% increments of parent corporations total revenue are in, no player makes less than 1% of the parent companies total revenue a year
3: the immediate establishment of teams in at least 4 other countries in south and central America #mlb #baseball

I vote instead of the Canadian national anthem for next season's baseball games, we hire green day on retainer to perform American idiot before every game #mlb #baseball

for all of you who are kinda new to baseball, and feeling an unflinching hatred in your heart towards fans of the other team, don't worry. we have a strategy to take care of this, to help heal divides. a time honored technique.

it's called "think about how much you hate the fucking yankees"

i should have waited, this is WAY better in the dark

The latest member of my #Psion family arrived today, another Series 3 classic 256k. I've installed #Barbarians on it, along with Ground Attack, a flawed but fun strategy game I started developing in 2011 and gave up on finishing properly a few of years back. You can get it from its temporary home of http://damian.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/216/ground-attack-3000 (I plan on creating a proper home for my Psion games eventually).

Nordic keyboards have a special key for my current mood ...

💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 Who hasn't enjoyed a nice round of golf on their computer? The slowly rendered trees, the random bird chirps, it's just like being outside!

We've done multi-game episodes before, but this one is our most ambitious yet, as no fewer than 50 games were discussed on our forums.

Some are text-only, some have all the multimedia features, but all are about golf!
