Amstrad CPC, or in fact its German incarnation Schneider CPC, was the very first computer I ever laid my hands on. It was around 1988, last class of the elementary school in Poland. Already few years after it was a thing in the Western world. Sometimes it haunts me. Like the rest – Atari XE, […]
Ok, I’ve just checked how this page look like when I’m not logged in to WordPress.com, and my adblock plugin is disabled. OMG! My eyes! Yes, this account is free, and yes, I was aware some adverts will show up here and there. But nothing could have prepared me to see this. Come on WordPress.com, […]
Only future will tell, however… It’s always interesting to learn new-old platforms (Z80, oh man), plus Amstrad CPC was in fact the first computer I touched. Even though I did not own one back then, together with Atari XE, Atari ST and Amiga it’s a huge part of my life I spent in the cyberspace. […]
How I used to learn when I was much younger was experimentation. In particular it refers to how I learnt how to program. In the very beginning it was to type stuff from a manual, listings I found in computer magazines, then change it and see what happens. Recycling, repurpose. No huge expectations. With years […]
It’s been nearly 12 years since the very first blog post here. It’s been nearly 9 years since the last one. Which one is more crazy, hard to choose. “My brain hurts!”. I almost forgot I have my own 4 square meters here. Is it blogging still a thing? It’s pretty weird to catch up […]
It’s been another long pause in blogging, but this is how things work on my end. Wish to do better next year ;) To make Christmas even more merry, go ahead and download the new issue of 880 Gamer. Mark did it again. And this is splendid. Even if you are not a gamer, […]
Wow! A brand new release of Icaros Desktop is available for download. And I am downloading it just now… I am truly amazed by dedication and craftsmanship of all the hackers involved in that project, including AROS team of course. This is not another GNU/Linux distro and they cannot rely on the shoulders of giants so much. […]
I’ve just realized that it’s been a year (and a month) since Patrick vel Coder passed away… His blog – The Bucket Diary – was a true inspiration to me. Time flies, indeed. Let the music speak then. Cheers Patrick.
OK. I’ve finally purchased a recent desktop set-up and could take a serious look at the Android development platform. With a surprise, I discovered that Google made a interesting shift toward IntelliJ. Is this kind of a fish slapping dance? It doesn’t really matter who is who here, but Eclipse Foundation does not feel particularly […]
I think I’ve seen this couple months back, but today it drawn my attention more successfully. So successfully, I put that thing on my wish list. This is not a critically expensive but 200 Euros is not 20, unfortunately. What I am talking about? MIST is a successful project of two people. Till Harbaum stands […]
