The internet really went to shit when browsers stopped putting a little RSS icon on the address bar, didn't it?

WordPress Migration

I just completed a major update to my website. Two things at once. I've moved my site from blog.andrewshell.org to andrewshell.org (dropping the subdomain) and migrated it from 11ty to WordPress. I put a lot of effort into setting up redirects, so everything should keep working (I hate broken links). If you find I missed something, please contact me. I have a few reasons for doing this. First, I'm very excited about adding ActivityPub support (not live yet), so anything I post will […]

everybody says ActivityPub is too hard.

so i'm building the thing that proves them wrong.

debug tools. validators. real docs.

built by someone who actually ships projects people use (@pixelfed (1M+ users) and @loops)

activitypub deserves better resources. i'm making them.

it only takes one person to spark a revolution ✨

coming soon. stay tuned.

Four hours to beat Maniac Mansion is ridiculous. When the game was released back in 1987 it a 40 hour game.

Over 800 gamers tried and utterly failed to beat a classic 80s game without a guide

The Adventure Game Aptitude Test is the first of its kind, and the initial results are incredible. Only two people beat a three hour game without help
