It was a vast leap for PC gaming and it opened an new era of PC gaming.

However, here is what I never quite understood, what was so different about the NES and PC tech that Nintendo had figured out to do sideways scrolling years before the PC?

This is mostly a tech blog (Linux things) i.e. public notes to myself.

On my other (Dutch) blog I write every day with travel updates or interesting things I learned from books: https://janvandenberg.blog

Here's an alias from my Cygwin .bashrc (which took me way too long to figure out) where both the *nix and Windows style paths are invoked:

alias ms='/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/ssh.exe -A -i 'C:\Users\me\.ssh\mm-id_rsa' me@myserver'

But I noticed his previous post is almost a year old (June 22)? So is there another place he blogs?

Just to name a few (I have a daily blog):

- I kickstart my day with my own thoughts, not someone else's (i.e. social media).

- I can feel I created something instead of just (mindlessly) consuming

- I can work out what I really think about something: when you start to write what you think, you need to understand it or at least order your thoughts

- I have an ever growing vault of things I can point to (I do this a lot)

- I always keep an eye out for interesting things to blog about. It makes you notice more.

- I enjoy it!

The audience is 1 (me).

If there are other people who want to read it, great! But I mainly write to/for me. So why don't I just keep a diary? Accountability. I have to hit publish every day and make what I post coherent. My diary (which I also have) is more incoherent and definitely more boring.

Though I am curious whether there is a specific reasoning behind a name in relation to a version (alphabetically, numerically, chronologically etc.)?

Something seems way off here.

What a great quote and general outlook on life.

I understand the sentiment. But I rather have more people blogging than not.

Because blogs are the web. Many more people should be blogging.

Completely in the browser.

I am not sure I do now (specifically how SSH ties in to this).

But at least I now know more about terminals, shells, rawmode and ptms/ptx and more.

This link right here fits right in with the following ones:

I have built many MS Access applications and they always were surprisingly resilient. I believe even to this day there is a MS Access database GUI application running somewhere I built 15 years ago. Standalone, not connected to the web or anything. Just plowing away, just a single self contained file (mind the Office dlls etc.), backup and recovery is as easy as copying the complete file over to anywhere else and you're good.

I think I have tried every alternative out there, but none hit that sweetspot (they always lack something).

Which is an interesting take on the concept of domain specific language.

But this effort looks really good too.

I do wonder whether copyright allows this?

Most advanced guides throw a lot at you at once. Digesting one or few commands at a time works better for me to really make it stick (and that is the goal right?)

- WordPress (2x)

- Joomla (2x)

- FreshRSS

- GlowingBear (IRC proxy)

- Prosody (XMPP server)

Choose wisely what you read.
