So, my new Raspberry Pi
Picos (two of them)
arrived just as I was finishing up the ESP8266 Fuzix
port, and naturally I had to port Fuzix to this
too. I didn’t video this one, which is a shame as it would probably have been a
more interesting watch.

I have just ‘finished’ a port of Fuzix, Alan Cox’s
lightweight Unix for small machines, to the ESP8266 microcontroller. And: I
screen recorded it all, with narration by myself, so if anyone wants to watch
the entire process, you now can!

I’ve just merged in a change to FluxEngine, my open-source and easy to build
USB floppy drive interface, which will let you use it to write Macintosh 800kB
GCR disks using a normal PC drive.

I’ve just released version 0.8 of WordGrinder, my minimal word processor for
writing first drafts. This started life as a bugfix release but I got a bit
carried away with the feature requests, and there’s a tonne of new
quality-of-life improvements.

Two years ago (really? Two years?) I did some writeups on performing arithmetic on the 6502 and Z80 processors in the context of my Cowgol compiler. Well, I'm now working on a code generator for the 6303, so it's time for another one!

I’ve just released a proper working version of Cowgol 2.0, a brand new version
of my small language for small systems. Better type checking! Better syntax!
Better code generation! Better compilation speed! And, ironically, this was
mostly achieved by drastically simplifying it and reducing functionality…

Good news! After literally years of (very on and off work), I've just release Cowgol 2.0, my very small language for very small systems! It's simpler, smaller, less complex, and is better in every way.
