Glad you enjoyed it! I actually wrote a small JavaScript program to convert txt to html.

I’m so glad it was useful!

Fine, I changed it to 120. I didn’t count precisely, just ballpark to give the readers an idea of the complexity level.

makes sense. there is no silver bullet, they all have their strengths and weaknesses.

white balance is done. thanks for the great suggestion! I also fixed Amiga’s smile while I was at it.

updated as requested

Ok. I’ll find a different image host. Heard that Imgur is blocked in the UK

You got it! I’ll update the image in a couple of hours

Ok, lemmy won’t let me update the thumbnail anymore, but what color scheme would you prefer in future posts? I hear grays are all the rage nowadays?

I had to google what that means but thanks for your feedback

Your percentage of legal games was probably still higher than average 😉

good old times. those “starter animations” are called “intros”. this one has my favorite SID music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j069Eve63iY

I beg to differ. They just asked for a book that explains “how to do pretty much anything” (admittedly pretty vague). i’m assuming they mean things like browsing the internet, composing simple music, editing photos etc. You can do that without knowing any of the things you mentioned - they are part of most operating systems today, so the book would just need to go to that level.And when it comes to programming, the book could just explain how to code simple stuff for example in JavaScript in the browser’s “developers tools” (or equivalent).

…and a high percentage of those were copied illegally. I’m not judging, just stating a fact

you’re right. nowadays a beginner would have to sift through a bunch of websites to figure out how to do it.

Employees of many corporations don’t have the luxury of choice. Apparently you do - more power to you!

interesting theory. i’m afraid we’ll never find out if it’s true

and all the great Winamp skins…

thanks for the compliment!

technically yes, although i use the “1 instruction per line” rule and give the number so that readers have a rough idea of the complexity of the solution
