I once had a dream that this thing was the subject of a Top Gear episode and the three were given one each and they were tasked with modifying them in preparation for a race.

I'm gonna leave this here for anyone interested in a more in-depth tutorial.

This is a really cool design for a website, but I can't imagine it would be too user friendly for mobile users. It's still awesome to use on desktop.
Re:Thomas Pynchon is Releasing a New Novel on Saturday April 12, 2025 @01:59AM (#43661733)
Interesting, I'll check one of those other books out. The library I go to only ever seems to have his doorstoppers on the shelf.
That's the one I was thinking of, thanks.
This game is great. I played it for quite a few minutes. It reminds a lot of one the games that the inventor of Tetris designed for the Famicom. I can't remember the name of it at the moment.

A little bit actually, yeah. This looks great, thanks.

I always wondered if it was possible to have a TUI-style window manager inside the terminal. This is a fantastic project, whoever made it did a great job.
Re:Photos of Every Writer's Typewriter on Thursday March 06, 2025 @03:24AM (#43277788)
No specific reason. I've always found typewriters interesting and I enjoy it whenever I find someone who has, or still, uses them. They're a lot more enjoyable to write on than computers, to me at-least.

Good point. What model was the Olympia, if you don't mind me asking?

I still don't understand how people were able to write software in the days when assembly was the only option for speedy execution.

I wonder if texture mapping this would look good.
Re:Visual Basic 6 IDE recreated in C# on Friday November 15, 2024 @04:20AM (#42145218)
This absolutely amazing.
Re:Pong.bash on Sunday August 25, 2024 @02:55AM (#41345054)
This is cool, it reminds of when I would get bored and make little games as batch files for the windows command prompt a long time ago.
This ia really neat, I always wondered how those books were designed.
Re:Nerdy internals of an Apple text editor on Tuesday March 05, 2024 @04:39PM (#39609467)
As someone who has attempted to write their own text editor completely from scratch before, this would've been a tremendous resource to have.
Re:Portal 64 – A demake of Portal for the Nintendo 64 on Monday September 04, 2023 @04:48PM (#37384915)
I think this Apple II version of Portal is the best thing I have ever seen. Is this the same guy who did the Apple II version of Myst?
Re:Portal 64 – A demake of Portal for the Nintendo 64 on Monday September 04, 2023 @04:45PM (#37384880)
I was just watching a video about this, it's pretty cool and honestly impressive that it could be done on N64. They don't even have Half-Life 1 on N64, which makes me wonder if recreating Portal 1 decently in Goldsrc is possible.
Re:Microsoft is killing WordPad in Windows after 28 years on Sunday September 03, 2023 @06:14PM (#37375107)
Next to things like Notepad, the Calculator, and Command Prompt, Wordpad is and has been one of the most useful programs ever bundled with Windows in terms of functionality and user-friendliness, so the idea of getting rid of it (even if it gets replaced) just seems kind of asinine.
Re:Animated Knots on Saturday September 02, 2023 @01:24AM (#37358750)
To be honest, outside of Wikipedia, this is probably one of the most useful websites on the internet.
