Spent 1 1/2 hours looking for a crash bug in some 68000 assembly code that started crashing when I reordered things. It was a missing clr.l instruction before working out a word offset to add to the base address of a lookup table. Of course it was. It's always a bloody missing clr.l instruction...

Trying to sign up for AppleTV but I can't because I moved countries and my apple account is tied to the UK. There's no option to fix this. All I have to do is delete my account and create another... ..in *6 years time* because they keep a hash of your email address on file.

Dear web developers, There ought to be a special hell for those of you who build websites that are completely obscured by a website survey or AI chatbot popup that appears seconds after the page loads. Yours sincerely, The entire Internet.

I've been gritting my teeth for a while, waiting for people to jump ship so I can read the good stuff from Twitter elsewhere without having to wade through the sewage. I can't be doing with Musk and his Tesco value truth social any more. I'm done.

Merry Christmas if you celebrate. If you don't, then just have an inexplicably good December 25th for no reason whatsoever.

Finished work for the year, but I'm still investigating a bug. I guess this is going to end up in a 'deep thought' situation in the new year, where I remember that the answer is 256, but I can't remember the question.

I'm in a restaurant and they have a #retrogame emulation arcade cabinet in a corner. I can't see what the kid is playing, but he's screaming 'NO! NO NO NO!' and punching the joystick. Any guesses what he might be playing?

Just tried putting an optimised metahuman into ue 5.5 and it looks like the most generic office worker ever. Reminds me that I had an idea for a pisstake call centre sim...

I have a raging cold, so it's infinite cups of tea and bad daytime TV for me. Showing right now is 2 hours of live coverage of *a dictation competition*. It's exactly as it sounds.

It's been a while since I posted here, but watching the owner of 'the other place' screw over the States reminded me that I might want to make an exit plan. Anyhow, a few things happened since then, like getting Dutch citizenship and a new job. Looks like I really am a #rejoiner now :)

Luca is a friend of several people that I know, and to say that people are worried is an understatement. If anybody around #denhaag knows or has seen anything then please let the police know. www.ad.nl/den-haag/26-...

Always nice to be able to go back to your CV and replace one of the 'unannounced game X' entries with an actual title. :) #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvKq...

I love the way the 1541 ultimate now connects to an online database other ethernet and lets you download programs and disks directly to your #commodore64 emulated disk drive and runs them.

Righty... Another day, another social media feed (hopefully without the spam and dickishness of the 'other place'). Let me just figure out where everyone went for a moment....
