I rewrote my half-assed Python 6502 assembler into a half-assed C 6502 assembler. Using Flex and Bison. And after a few short rewrites of my assembly code, it assembles and runs. Both on the Virtual CR001 as on the actual hardware. So to quote the great Master Milo: great success! Lees meer…
Pas geleden een Commodore 1084 monitor aangeschaft. Nu pas aan toegekomen om ‘m goed te testen. Eerst kreeg ik het geluid niet goed, en heb ik wat zitten klooien met kabels, maar uiteindelijk doet het gewoon perfect.
I purchased a larger screen, so Castle Runner can be bigger and graphic-er than ever! It has a whopping 320×240 pixels, all in beautiful black and white. This will lead to an ever better and more immersive experience when playing this wonderful game. It took a while to get it Lees meer…

To quickly test your SQLite database while developing an Android app, it can be useful to use the sqlite3 command line command to query the database. However, it is not easy to get to the SQLite file: you cannot just download it from your device, nor can you mount the Lees meer…
Started working with Python, which is extremely easy and a joy to work in. It also has great libraries and tools you can use. So, also started using CherryPy to power the XML API I am working on. While debugging it throws out a lot of messages on stdout, of Lees meer…
