I haven't got a CV. I haven't had one for a decade or more. I'm trying to pull one together swiftly for an application and... huh... I forgot about some of the cool stuff I've been involved with.
No bragsies, just expressing my surprise, and making a note-to-self to reminisce more 🙂
I got hold of Sony's hobbyist PlayStation, the #NetYaroze, just as I was heading to University.
The community was amazing, and I was quickly joined on this adventure by the most wonderful @forensicgunk.
My opus was a game called Snowball Fight, which made it onto a couple of OPSM coverdisks. Cute graphics, music and a laugh on a mates night in. I should remake it?!
Circuit Breaker was a public domain #GameBoy Color game I made in Z80. Pretty basic, but playing to the strengths of the platform and acheivable for me in time for a competition.
You control a cursor running around a loop and have to lap the chaser before you get lapped. Up, down, left, right, A or B.
There are some wild cards ('any direction' and 'A or B') which, interestingly enough slow me down. Choice paralysis!
ByteJammin' with @FieldFX again.
I didn't know where to go, so I started doing some 3D and a DNA strand.
Made some decent use of FFT, and kept the palette (for me) restrained. #livecoding#demoscene#TIC80
Whoops I did it again.
More RiFT merch ordered. Hopefully will arrive at EMF!
I've been using StickerMule, and they've been brilliant. I rarely do this, but if you fancy £8 off your first order (and some credit for me) then please feel welcome to the affiliate link: https://www.stickermule.com/unlock?ref_id=5404416701
I'll be spreading my stickery spoils at EMF, Nova, and whatever comes next!
@themagpi I'm early stage coding...
The server is written in #golang, and will receive RGB values (and more) from a web form.
The #pimoroni Plasma Stick 2040W is long-polling those values from the server.
I'm hoping it should all come together for @emf 🙂
Rarely do my domestic interests collide so acutely as returning home to find some weirdly leafy cat vomit and a bunch of my nascent chilli plants with big chomp marks in them
LinkedIn is so far off the rails. It's all:
"An hour ago I gave birth to my first child, and this experience taught me these seven emoji bullet items about marketing..."
@gsuberland It's very much not for either of us 😄
For the box-regular career focused, I can see it... but the fuel is personal hype/hustle and it's had an injection of life-blogging nonsense from Twitter's fall - all of which are massive turnoffs for me. Seems ascendent amongst the networks, for better or worse!
First little test prints of some glow in the dark @badge#tildagon#hexpansion shims.. just some M3 bolt holes for now. Will tinker with other ideas in @FreeCAD and hopefully bring odds n sods for trades! :)
I love code tinkering 😄
Spent a couple of hours last night making a web-hosted panel to set RGB values in an addressable LED string.
That's first POC for the sparkletent...
I'm not sure whether to pursue this...
My friend Nick died last year. His wife is looking to gather together a folder of videos of him because she and the girls miss his voice.
I'm wondering whether an AI system can make a model from this mixed corpus of speech and reproduce it to an authentic standard, so that 'he' can do things like wishing the girls a happy birthday.
Would this be (1) feasible (2) healthy?
(Let's assume I've watched every Black Mirror twice, so I don't need pointing there!)
These fictions go way beyond my intention (I was thinking scripted audio rather than an LLM; the latter is genuine Black Mirror territory). But it's all a BIG unknown.
It's hard even to imagine how such systems would affect my own grief and boundaries, and - even if restricted - opens a seductive opportunity to less confined things.
This is to say nothing of the commercial pressure / data leak aspects.
So- with consideration, extremely not on the cards but very interesting to think about.
@z303 It's wild. I can definitely see that something in this area /could/ have a positive / therapeutic value, but - as inevitable with commercial tech - some folks will go hard in and there'll be nothing to stop that.
