The 2nd Revision party after Corona has ended was a blast. I met Prodadron and Lycan and attended a very interesting seminars "Writing/Building a 3D geometry engine from scratch" by Qubix/Architects and "The Sorbus Computer - or how I built my own $10 retro computer" by SvOlli. After talking to Qubix, we both spent the rest of the party porting his real-time 3D engine for the Commodore VIC-20 to the Atari 8-bit.

On 29.03.2025, Bernhard, Stefan, Jan, and I attended HomeCon #83 in Hanau. It was a lovely, small, and enjoyable party where we met many new people. Here are some impressions. Bernhard obtained a nice Intellivision, and because it needed some treatment, we drove further to the Flipper- und Arcademuseum Seligenstadt (FAMS). There was a very helpful guy who fixed the console and then showed us the exhibition. And the day ended with a surprise techno event in the city center of my hometown. What a great day!

Most people who visit this website probably remember creating their first programs in BASIC on their first computer as teenagers in the 1980s. We recently recovered some of these early programs from Bernhard Kirsch's 40-year-old disks. He started programming on his first computer, a CBM/PET, and later moved to a C64 in 1983. I've compiled a few pages with a description, a short video, and screenshots.
For CBM/PET
For C64

The website has been updated to Joomla 5.2.2 and PHP 8.1.0. Smart Search is available via the main menu, replacing the old search. The video embedding is now responsive and automatically adapts to the screen size. The table in the production lists is also responsive and only uses the available space without scrolling. If you find something that is not working, please contact me.

This Silly Venture took place in a small but lovely new venue in the "Polish Baltic Philharmonic", close to the center of Gdansk.
The room was too small for all visitors, especially during the competitions. But the beamer was good, and there was a good restaurant nearby. A surprising number of new people showed up, and I had a great time talking to them. Including Adam Gilmore, who was the special guest at the party. I even had the chance to interview him. You can find more details and the link to the interview on this page.
