Streaming from my Mac Plus for a bit

A quick writeup of how I debugged a problem with a Ruby module calling ioctl on OpenBSD this morning

I never thought I'd see the day this actually came out

I may have taken this a bit too far...

Huzzah, my solder job wasn't terrible and the RGBtoHDMI works

Here is the first release of Wallops, with source code and THINK C 5 project

Owning up to mistakes is something I still struggle with. It can really be detrimental to relationships to get defensive and since this behavior often stems from childhood, I'm trying to go easier on my son when he makes mistakes so he doesn't try to hide them or get anxious

I wrote an IRC client over the past couple days to chat from my Mac Plus (and to distract me from working on my BBS code)

In the mid/late 90s I would often try to clone mIRC in Visual Basic just to get better at Winsock programming and it usually looked just like this

Well now I need to know why Discord's website is running a regex against a base64-encoded PNG

OpenBSD has a very rigid way of doing things, which is great for security and attracts developers who have similar rigid thinking in life. I'm sure it appealed to me as a younger know-it-all. But over time, it's harder to cling to decades-old practices while the world moves on.

In my Q&A video I suggested OpenBSD could improve by reaching out to younger developers by making it easier to contribute with Git/GitHub.

A discussion on the ports mailing list came up and I suggested it... which went over like a lead balloon:
