Every icon has a story. Mine is adapted from the Breaking Baud demo by CRTC and 3LN https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=62934 . Written in 2014, for a machine released in 1984, and instead of loading all the data before it can run, it uses the act of loading the data (from audio cassette at 2688 baud!) as the central theme.

That reminds me, I need to add 80's style audio data transfer to the mechanical keyboard wishlist… coming to a USB port near you in 2030 (subject to change).

Hello everyone! I'm Andy, and I'm so excited to be here!

I'm a sysadmin from Cambridge in the UK, and have earnt a Merveilles invitation by hacking about with @neauoire's Uxn. I think my contributions span three lines of code so far!

I'm in the middle of a mechanical keyboard building project, inspired by @Kooda here. It's gone on for ages and might be suffering from feature creep. I'm sure by the time it's running Uxn and I can phone and SMS people with it, it'll be finished.

Solar panels teach bad habits.

"It's your day off today", they murmur, "you could get up early and import electricity for your porridge... or you could lie in and heat it with green energy for free."

Well I *had* the _burning_ desire to be not lazy, but oh look, it's half past ten already.

Just pushed to Uxn my animated version of this wallpaper... it's a little slow on my computer, so it might need to be static in the final design 😂

You know you have some amazing giant snowdrops when it's mid-April and they're still flowering! Some flowers are looking fresher than some daffodils we have, which is mind-blowing! #florespondence

Asparagus from a nearby farm cooking on a Welsh bakestone. We'd cooked chapatis before (so flour dust everywhere) and did it all on solar power 🌞 #theGalley

Cycled to work today. Haven't been on my bicycle for ages since I work from home.

So lovely to see the bees flying about.

Now when you see bees flying into a headwind faster than you can cycle, you gain a new appreciation of your fitness level.

Just pushed Neralie to Uxn! My first piece of software to use the graphical interface 😍 #theWorkshop https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/neralie.html

Just pushed to Uxn repo: running the VM without the GUI window, and the beginnings of an automated test suite 😀
