The @JoyOfCoding 2025 talks are online: youtube.com/watch?v=Xjpyh01t… - be sure to check out the Lightning Talks for fun filled five minutes and of course Bert Huberts talk 'Save the world, write more efficient code'
You can now play Overthrown using the @futurewas8bit Penultimate+2 Cartridge! Probably the easiest way to play the game on a real #VIC20. 200 other games and tools also included. Amazing! ctrl-alt-dev.nl/Articles/VIC…

Ja de blokkenschemasoftware heb ik ooit in 2013 in elkaar gesleuteld om optimale film planning te maken. Voer de films in en druk op de knop. Echter het inlezen van het schema van de website van het #IFFR is maatwerk en ieder jaar anders en een terugkerend stressmoment.
If you're shipping to NL and notice more packages being 'returned to sender' this is because @PostNL no longer puts a missed delivery note in the mailbox. The underlying assumption is that the recipient has the tracking code and is monitoring it. What could possibly go wrong..🤦
Doing (X ^ Y) % 17 == 0 on a 1987 Casio PB-1000. It took almost 5 minutes to fill the 192x64 pixel screen.. Maybe I should try an assembler version :-) Wonderful little machine!

The printed copies of K&A+ issue 18 have arrived! A printed 'Overthrown' review is so much more glossy than a pdf one :-)
Spent Kings-day preparing my maize maze designs for automated planting; rain is expected in the UK so farmers are eager to get the maize into the ground. Fun, but the real reward is in 3 months time :) Below is last years maze in Fordingbridge, UK.
My game 'Overthrown' can now be played at the @homecompmuseum on a very pretty #vic20 - Sadly you'll have to wait until the lock-down ends though.. But still it's very cool to have written a 'museum piece' :-)
I wrote a tutorial on how to make your own 8K VIC-20 game cartridge using @futurewas8bit 's stuff (and some other tidbits). ctrl-alt-dev.nl/Projects/VIC… #vic20
Being an overthrown dictator on the run isn't easy; watch some gameplay snippets from Overthrown #vic20
