Excited to announce I’m launching my new blog, β€œCD-ROM Journal”! I’m going to be writing about weird, interesting games and multimedia art. I’ve got a couple of posts I’m really proud of to launch with! I hope you enjoy and find it interesting.

First up is a post on Daizaburo Harada’s β€œAL: Artificial Life (Insects)”, a wildly experimental cross-media project covering a CG art book, a novel, and a game. I go deep into its inspirations and every part of the project.

Oh, the RGB effect controls are in a different file, never mind

(There is a Linux kernel module for tweaking LED patterns on the Razer Kraken headsets at github.com/openrazer/openrazer, and it claims to support the Razer Kraken Kitty, but I don't see it in the driver source code and I'm also wondering if this really needs to be a kernel module)

Never expected a couple years' worth of looking at USB host-to-device traces to be useful in getting cat ear headphones to do their thing, but here we are

I have yet to find a place that does (1) and (2) but do let me know if you know of such a location

Seems like the only times I get enough time to do work are

  1. at laundromats
  2. in trees

T-Mobile (maybe others) seem to be doing this thing where they'll provide a name along with a number, but it's the name of the account holder, not who's actually calling you.

So far I've found this to be a great way to find out names of people's spouses, but not really all that useful for telling me who's calling

Obvious solution: put all server software permanently into maintenance mode

Imagine how great it'd be if every piece of server software started up as quickly as its maintenance mode screen

Seriously, what kind of "sports" do these designers engage in where gravity is evidently an edge case

Nothing Works part 61: I drop a Bluetooth earbud marketed for sports use on the ground, and now it occasionally fucks out and loses Bluetooth signal

Of course, this is when I learn that e-bikes have been a thing in China since the 1990s

Pedal assist bikes, or e-bikes, are weird. By weird, I mean that I'm absolutely not used to the extra torque that comes from apparently nowhere when you start pedaling.

(As far as I can tell, in the Divvy e-bikes, there's a DC motor attached to the rear wheel. Both rear- and front-wheel drive seem to be possible according to schematics I've seen on the interwebs.)

Anyway, my friends and I decided that the best thing we could do with this gift of torque was to use the bike as launch assist for skaters, and it works astonishingly well for that

As it turns out, ~35% of my home storage array's usage is crappy 90s-00s movies

When writing reports or other long-form material, I've found that I am most productive when I've got some crappy 90s-00s movie playing in an adjacent tile. Is anyone else broken like this

About six months ago, the source code to Mod4Win (a module player for Windows) was made available by its authors: github.com/shamblernaut/Mod4Wi

There's a lot of module player code already out there, but I remember, as a kid, being fascinated by Mod4Win's interface, which was very unlike any other Windows program I'd used before. (There's an imagemap version of the UI at kay-bruns.de/mod4win/mod4win/i.) Almost 30 years later, I can peek into how it was built...

2020: C++ has at least three error-reporting mechanisms, making it enormously inconvenient to compose functions from different sources

2021: Joke's on you, Copilot
