I like comicstrips. I grew up on Garfield (when it was still funny and fresh) and Charlie Brown, Bill Watterson is a personal hero of mine and I wish I had the guts to stand up for what I believe in like he does. Comic strips are a very maligned artform, capable of being incredibly […]

I wrote my first web browser in 95 on the Amiga. The fact that I didn’t have an internet connection didn’t stop me, but really it was a bad HTML viewer. Later in 1998 I revisited the idea for my introduction to C course and wrote it again, using raw Xlib. Then Mozilla was released as […]

I just noticed - these fuckers are recording the open source contributions I make. They’re even collecting the data and publishing it. Of course, its not *all* the contributions I make. This is an incomplete picture of my open source contributions. This is my data, they have no rights to do this. Its an invasion […]

Strangely productive in a random driveby patch way. Was choosing paints to decorate my house recently, and I loved the simple way to pick matching colours. Pick colour a - get the swatches for colour a and pick a colour that works with it. So I hacked that idea into the background colour selector.
