andrew weathers - i am happy when i am moving

My weekly blog post. Links this week include a deep dive into ASCII rendering, using BOINC to help with scientific research, and a story about a trademark that a large media corporation let lapse so a group of journalists took it over and brought back the media in a new form. I show off the latest cross stitch project I completed, I talk about what I'm up to in Everquest 2, I share a list of the archaeology/anthropology YouTube channels I watch and, as usual, I listened to, read and watched things.

If you followed me on Twitter, follow me on Bluesky. As far as I'm concerned Twitter is gone. Not because I'm religious about this stuff, but my account got hijacked and I can't get it back, so let's close that book. It was a great innovative product that also held back progress on the web for 20 years, and it made some people I knew a long time ago fabulously rich, and it would have been nice of them to not do this to us, but what the fuck, it is what it is. One more thing, guys -- pay your taxes.
