I hope to compose some prog rock in the near future... If not ba-rock, ha-ha. But I am quite alone, I have no band for now. We'll see.

BWV #795 - Sinfonia No.9 F-moll of J.S. Bach - is incredibly chromatic. I don't think it is to be played for a broad circle of listeners in its time - but it sounds incredibly modern. When you learn these rules of counterpoint and have this... It's totally amazing.

It took some time, but finally my first album is available at Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/3jhmex... Or check kasia-ea.github.io for MP3s. I mean, $4 per 1000 streams? That works for popular musicians, but not numerous little ones.

Retroarch is intuitive with a gamepad, but so counterintuitive with a keyboard! You can't know back button for Backspace in the emulator, Esc doesn't call emulator menu, but quits it at all! Retroarch shows what to press for OK and Cancel on a gamepad, why can't there be a keyboard tip as well?

One of my big “tech used to be fun” things is that “theme” used to mean like. Making your computer/software’s interface look blue or orange or purple or maybe an imitation of macOS or pixel art or dog-themed. Now it just means “do i have dark mode enabled”

As far as I love logic games, I wonder, how many such games are there for the ZX Spectrum and MSX? And are there "match three" games?

Old Windows icons are very elegant, and I am glad I can download them from github.com/trapd00r/win.... Well, if I need to browse Win98 ones online, I use win98icons.alexmeub.com.

Now I've met some real abstraction layer bullshit. Front app downloads 80 MB of data from backend in order to serve the user 800 KB compressed file (2 MB uncompressed). We were told these libraries could make development faster, but for that price? AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER WEBSITES MAY BE THE SAME D:

I wish it weren't so true! But hey, I met cool youngsters who know the old tech that deep so they can give me a lesson or two! I am totally glad when younger people know the tech deeper than me :)

So PSX emulation has no issues on GPD Win, whereas 3DO emulation has issues. WELP. Not that it's unheard of with a bit more obscure systems.

Some time ago I made little pixel icons of 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit computers - at least how these eras felt for me. When we got a tower computer, it probably has been 2002, and there was Windows XP with no thought of 16-bit DOS anymore. Still, I played DOS games pretty fine.
