Introducing myself
Posted: Mon Jun 12, 2017 11:02 am
Hello to you all!
Some of you I've met at the 6809 event in Cambridge. Some might know me through other channels. This is by way of a introduction to the rest of you.
I had a Dragon back in 1984/5 after graduating from a ZX81. I did basic programming (pun intended) and assembler for fun, but nothing commercial. However, if did ensure that I would be employed as a programmer/CTO in later life. I've written (professional) games on PC, mobile, and console, designed database systems for Unilever, munged huge scale backend systems, founded and built 3 edtech companies, and written firmware for embedded Linux systems.
My interest, these days, is in emulation and digital preservation. FWIW, I have pages at http://em.ulat.es/eaas/ and http://marquisdegeek.com/digital_heritage that (badly) describe my work in this area. I also wrote a D32 emulator on the Amiga 20 years ago. It's still floating around in the web. At the event I ran my emulator on an Amiga emulator, on a Windows virtual machine, running on my Mac...
Current Dragon-related projects:
* ASCII Bird : a flappy bird clone, using only block graphics
* Stone Raider 2 : A retro remake in Javascript (current version : http://marquisdegeek.com/stoneraider2/ )
* ZX81 => Dragon transpiler
* Another emulator : using only a meta-description in XML, I want to create a full emulator/assembler/disassembler like I did for the ZX81 and Spectrum a few years ago
* Something in mode 1
I mostly lurk since I know less than everyone I met at the 6809 event, but will add whatever I can...
