    SuperShopaholic: a game about pointless consumption, where the license is the point

    I built a tiny browser game called SuperShopaholic — "the award-winning experience of wanting more." You steer an infinite shopping cart through an infinite mall, swooping falling goods into a cart that never fills. There is no finish line. There never was. The speed only ever increases. I had this idea for a while, my …

    Reviving a 15-year-old binaural beat app on modern Android

    About 15 years ago I built an Android binaural beat generator by porting SBaGen (Jim Peters' legendary C program, GPLv2) to native Android via OpenSL ES on an ancient NDK. This summer I thought about how hard could it be to revive it on a modern stack — Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, GitLab CI — expecting the whole thing to …

  • Fedora 43 → 44 broke my Hyprland, and I had to rebuild hy3 in shell

    A few weeks after the Sway-to-Hyprland post, Fedora 44 dropped. I upgraded the laptop. Half the desktop fell over. This is the log of putting it back together — including realising I had to write my own mini-hy3 in five small shell scripts. A little background first. I have moved from I3 to Sway to Hyprland, mostly for …

    Using AI to organize sketchbook scans

    I have a pile of scanned sketchbook pages from my xotu project. Each scan has a handwritten date and title in the corner. Organizing 81+ scans by hand is tedious, so I wrote a Python script that uses a vision model to read the handwriting and sort everything into named directories automatically. Figure 1: One of the …

  • From Sway to Hyprland, with all the sharp edges

    Share on: twitter facebook linkedin copy

    I'd been on Sway for years. It's solid, i3-compatible, boring in the good way. But Hyprland kept showing up in screenshots with features I wanted (proper mouse-drag move/resize on floating windows, smoother animations, the hy3 layout plugin) and I finally caved. This post is the log of that port, including the bits …

    petal.ml

    I had a funny dialogue with the Bloom model, using petals.ml, which is interesting because its a collaborative framework where you share GPU acceleration and partition large models in smaller partitions, and help each other out with running the model. Of course ChatGpt is all the rage now, but I find this dialogue …
