I decided to move away from Digital Ocean and host my VPS on Hetzner instead. At the same time I migrated my gitea installation to Forgejo, which is a more open branch of the same product. I had some minor issues with moving over the gitea installation, but it was almost entirely caused by me not configuring postgresql in the bestest of ways.
I have a hope that pushing this post to Forgejo on the new server will trigger the hook that triggers hugo to generate the site in the correct place.
Atari 8 bit corruption Back in October 2022, there was a new instance of the Spelsylt game jam that I join a the year prior where I made Pumpkins!. As we had just had an election here in Sweden, the two themes you could chose between were Corruption and Val. Val is the Swedish word for election, but can also mean Whale and choice, which makes is a great word for a game jam theme.
This site have now been moved to a new VPS on Digital Ocean. Only reason is to lower the costs. I hope to cut the cost by at least 50%.
Last month I joined a gamejam, where I decided to create a game for Sega Megadrive. I’m pretty happy by the result.

Hi.
It’s been a while. This site has been down for many month; ever since I got fed up with all the spam my previous wordpress installation was getting. It was installed on a google VPS, for which I payed per CPU time. 99% of the traffic was spam, and I didn’t much feel like paying google for handling that.
Instead I got a normal VPS at a different provider where I pay a flat fee each month.
A few days ago, I started thinking about how difficult it’s becoming to find a good monitor for my Atari, especially one that I can easily bring with me on demo parties and such.
Then it occurred to me that my CosmosEx that is mounted inside the ST have a Raspberry Pi inside it, with both an HDMI and a composite video out. What it also have is a high speed connector for camera hardware, capable of streaming HD video in realtime.
I recently got the idea to stream some of my programming sessions on twitch, and yesterday I created a twitch account for this purpose. I don’t know if there ever will be a real schedule, but I’ll try to stream as often and regularly as I can.
The current project I’m coding on the stream is a new game for the Atari STe that I got inspired to do the past weekend.
Hey, I made a couple of Atari ST intros this summer. First up was Bacon, which was released at Sommarhack 2015. I started to plan it when there was still snow outside, but I did almost all of the coding the during the week before the party.
The release was thrown together for High Coast Hack in Härnösand four weeks later. As I had participated with an intro the last to years, I wanted to have something this year as well.
This blog has not seen much action lately, but my coding has been more or less constant. There are code for a few more platforms in my Hello World project, and a few month ago I started writing some code for a SEGA Mega Drive game. It’s no secret that the SMD are one of the platforms that now have a Hello World implementation. I just need to take time to finish up a blog post about it.
Since a few month back, I am no longer enrolled in Apples developer program for iOS. A side effect of this is that any application I had on App Store are no longer available. The major reason for this is that I don’t have an iOS device that can run anything newer than iOS 4, and my old iPhone 3G has troubles even running that.
I am planning to buy the new iPhone 5 when it is released.
