Very cool.

At university I built a 4 bit stack based CPU out of TTL. It had store, load opcodes and could address 8K words of RAM so it had some actual utility. It was one of the most interesting things I’ve ever done. Annoyed they wouldn’t let me take it at the end of the course!

Ahhh... the simplicity, readability, and inherent responsiveness of a webpage that's just text and some images.

Unfortunately it's not responsive to small screens like phones.

It's not responsive but it's not outright broken on mobile. It's also a one line fix in the HTML:

Agreed. I see this simple problem on a vast number of websites and I wish there was a way to just easily fix it for people. I'm willing to put in 5 seconds of my time to make the web better here and there.

Web rings are a fun relic, just like many homebrew computers.

Maybe someday I'll use those 6510's and 68000's to build something.

I keep building breadboard computers and single-board computers, learning the ISA and peripherals, and then not really using them for anything. I guess the building is the fun part, for me.

I found a huge box of scrap Eurocard boards with 68000s, Z180s, and 63C09s at work last week.

I was going to say, I hadn't had this term in quite some time! #nostalgia

One of the projects I keep putting off is creating a simple RISC based CPU on an FPGA and writing an assembler & compiler for it. It would probably serve no real purpose other than education for myself which is why I put it off...

FPGA count?
