I’ve started two new projects with Brad (it’s always with Brad). One called rss snail that pulls articles from RSS/Atom feeds and sends them to an email address. It’s the first name that came to mind. The second is an ANSI C compiler for Tal, allowing roms for Uxn to be created from a higher level language. If that’s what you want to call ANSI C. The project is called ucc and is currently empty while I read books on compilers and knock my head on broken lexers and parsers.

I’m a big fan of the code it yourself manifesto, and most of the projects I work on focus on myself or my group of friends as the primary stakeholders. It’s like building your own, weird little digital home where the tools for daily life are your own. Each nook, cranny, or gaping security vulnerability can be a novel decoration on the walls of your software, custom tailored to fit your tangential, abstracted self.
