    Slay the Princess is a breathtaking visual novel that explores obedience, rebellion, heartbreak, love, and everything in between. Emotional voice acting, unreliable narrators, and multiple player “personalities” set this game apart.

    The <canvas> element may be the best thing to happen to HTML since <marquee>. I’ve been using it a lot for various projects recently and thought it’d be nice to collect some of the tips and tricks I’ve learned into once place.

  • Poking NVRAM like it's 1994

    In early 2022 I got several Sun SPARC servers for free off of a FreeCycle ad: I was recently called out for not providing any sort of update on those devices… so here we go!

  • Using ZFS and Photoprism 

    Google Photos is wonderful. It backs up my photos and videos, tags them, and makes them available to share with my family.

    But I also don’t trust that Google will never accidentally “loose” my photos. Here is the process I use to back up my Google Photos data to a self-hosted instance of Photoprism.

  • Editor Mode, and Conclusion 

    I recently rediscovered an obscure 1997 Simon & Schuster / Marshall Media edutainment game for Windows 95 that I played as a kid: Math Invaders. In this part, we’ll investigate whether we can enter an “editor mode”, hinted at within the strings contained within the program. There’s even a ✨surprise ending✨ that I didn’t see coming!

  • Everyday Phrases That Don't Make Sense Anymore 

    Language is strange – why do we say “hang up the phone” even when using a cell phone? This page documents some examples of “skeuomorphisms” in our common vernacular.

    I’ll be updating this page as I come across more!

    I recently rediscovered an obscure 1997 Simon & Schuster / Marshall Media edutainment game for Windows 95 that I played as a kid: Math Invaders. In this part, we’ll investigate disassembling and reverse engineering the binary to identify an undocumented settings file format.

  • Reversing Asset Storage

    I recently rediscovered an obscure 1997 Simon & Schuster / Marshall Media edutainment game for Windows 95 that I played as a kid: Math Invaders. Let’s reverse engineer the game a bit and see what we can find; are there any secrets, unused assets, etc?

  • Recently I began using Oh My Posh for PowerShell 7+ (pwsh). One thing I noticed however is that it takes upward of a second to activate in my pwsh $profile. Let’s dig in and see if we can’t improve that.
