Month: October 2026

Set up early cause I am/were traveling.

• The RetroTINK.
• Become worthless (to tech companies).  Good steps, not difficult ones.  (via)
• Experiencing a Victorian London street in 3D.  (via)
• “One printed IP/ICMP “ping” packet sent by carrier pigeon per RFC 1149″.  (via)
• Bastardica.  (via)
• A note on content restrictions and One possible future for websites is pervasive gatekeepers, two articles that I think are more significant when read together.
• Display mood board.
• A trick to render all 1.1M Unicode characters in your browser.
• The Invention of the MMO.  (via)
• How a combination lock works.  I’ve linked to that site before; something to dive into.  (also via)

Unrelated music links: The best metal, electronic, and jazz on Bandcamp for September.

 

No theme.

• Inflight Simulator. Flight sim where you aren’t the pilot.  Seems obvious but I can understand if nobody wants to play.  (via)
• Turning a $40 Surface Go into an always-on camera monitor.  Neat but also you can buy the same result off the shelf.
• Vim’s Ctrl-w.  Vi command muscle memory is built one action at a time.
• Small Web 101.
• Oglaf Book 5, a Kickstarter.  Read the comic or perhaps their Patreon if you aren’t familiar with the humor.
• Design Fiction Mood Board.
• Book Corners, a library finder.  (via)
• tmp.out, which I linked to in 2021, has continued to publish nearly-yearly.  (reminded via)
• Technology work at the Metropolitan Museum.  (via)
