It snowed this morning

It snowed for the first time this winter in Blarney. It was raining so, at least around here, the snow didn’t settle on the roads. All the snow is gone by this stage, but it’s cold out. Hopefully, the wet ground doesn’t freeze.

Nostalgic Lights and Classic Bytes

It was quite amazing what you could get into 64KB of memory on an 8-bit computer. The Commodore 64 is a really remarkable machine, a favourite of mine, and my first introduction to “proper” programming using assembly language to get the most out of it.

It’s not dead yet, either. There’s a vibrant community of developers creating stunning demos on it, ever pushing boundaries in their efforts to impress each other.

Do you recognise the blurred box in the background? It’s a game compilation by a very famous UK software publisher, who had ties to one of the top C64 mags of the time. Come on, should be an easy one. 🙂

The look of a cat

Hoppy, curled up and asleep one afternoon, looks over at me in curiosity. No, I didn’t have any treats. Back to sleep she goes.

Fluffy in the sun

Fluffy, a beautiful calico cat living her best life in California, basks in the sun in the backyard she, and only she, controls. She loves rolling over in the sun, mistress of all she surveys, while inside, her play tunnel is her domain.
