And now for something completely different:

I finally got the #Swift #Embedded example working on the Game Boy Advance today. :)

Introducing Indigo

A beautiful new app for Bluesky and Mastodon and the best way to experience both social networks together. It’s tough keeping up with everyone you care about when they’re split across different networks but Indigo brings them together for a seamless social experience.

I'm honoured to have been elected to the Board of Directors of @fdroidorg , the most well-known #opensource alternative to Google's Play Store.  

Imagine Microsoft deciding from now on what you can install on your laptop. No internet, you can only download things through the MS app store. Apps that MS has approved. Who wouldn't find that suffocating? Yet that is what Google wants to do on our Android phones (and what Apple already has - a closed ecosystem).

I finally got around to publishing my studies on some videogame console emulators, GROFF, GRUB, Hare Lang, etc! I've been neglecting to do this.

Finished off https://adrian.geek.nz/network_docs/searchmysite.html & https://adrian.geek.nz/gnu_docs/formatting.html

Tomorrow I'll grab some more threads to publish, then I'll be harvesting some links to litter my main writeups with. Because linkifying's important, even if it takes a lot of effort!

Disney Animation remade three songs for ASL. For these, we resurrected the original data and pipeline version (which took a ton of work), reanimated (from near scratch in some places), relit where needed, and re-rendered. Probably the hardest way to do this, but definitely the right way to do it, so that's what we did!

No AI shortcuts or anything, just doing it properly all the way.

AltStore PAL launched 2 years ago today 🎉

And to celebrate, we thought it would be fun to do a talk at @DeepDishSwift 2026 and share the full story leading up to release day!

The VOD is coming soon, and we promise there will be some fun, untold stories — stay tuned 👀
