Hello, Wac... I mean, world.

Most of the work I do in the FOSS community outside of "old" stuff is done anonymously, so don't be surprised if I won't talk about it.

I used to do web design but have since retired from professional coding, and mostly mess around with embedded stuff written in C. I prefer the simplicity of low-level coding, and have no fondness for the chaotic mess the Web has become these days.

I'm pretty active in the retro computer scene. I'm currently designing my own 8-bit computer system inspired by the Amiga, which has a custom hybrid CISC CPU. The CPU specification is pretty well complete, but the emulator is nowhere near working and I have no idea how well the design works in practice, so it will likely be a while before anything is available on GitHub.

For now, I'm mainly toying with a private fork of WinUAE and testing some major hardware hacks and CPU modifications, seeing how much stuff I can change before AmigaOS and various games break. These experiemnts are not useful to the main project, but I also have a separate public fork of WinUAE for (hopefully) submitting fixes.

NOTE: My work on oekaki boards concluded years ago and the code used for my Wacintaki BBS is more than a decade old. I still maintain the project, but it is of horrible quality and should be ignored. I no longer work with PHP or Java.
