I've been doing a bunch of things with #Svelte for some time, I wanted to move my Astro site over so i built a "half way house" as a template for others to use as well. Demo: melan.asbedb.dev Source: github.com/asbedb/melan #Free and #Open under GPL 3.0

I took away some good learnings doing something trivial to most people. More importantly I got to relive being a green alien in 1999 chomping on a McNugget as an annual treat. I don’t know which lesson is more valuable - all I know is I had fun doing it. asbedb.dev/musings/deco...

I did a thing (again). Made a RAG #ai chat bot for a hackathon style event. Trying to get some eyes on #Svelte and #SvelteKit at the highest of levels! Write up and links below. asbedb.dev/musings/inno...

I forgot to share my last write up! Oh well here it is now. A fun mix of CSS snippets I presented at our local Meetup. asbedb.dev/musings/melb...

My first talk at a meetup documented for the world to see 🙈. Was a bit nervous but also had a blast preparing it! youtu.be/EB62o1lCip0?... #webdev #dev #web #programming

Very cool to see my last project (Scapedle) in the community showcase for the what's new in #svelte blog post! Thanks for the mention! svelte.dev/blog/whats-n... #webdev #game #dev

So I recently showed off Scapedle - a #Wordle like #game based on Old School #RuneScape. Here's some insight into how I made it featuring #Svelte and some #CICD magic. It was a fun write up and project! asbedb.dev/musings/scap...

If any #ArchLinux #Hyprland enjoyers love #RuneScape I have been running my own theming heavily inspired as such - I have shared my dot files and config in all its unashamed glory. Yes Ive been on a bit of a RuneScape kick lately! - more screenies in repo. github.com/asbedb/hyprs... #Arch #Linux

I spent the weekend putting together a fun little #runescape based word guessing #game. If you want to give it a go check it out here. The repo is #OpenSource GPL 2.0 licensed and open to contributors as well! scapedle.com

Throwback to my prehistoric era. The rumours about the arms are all true.

Hello Bsky, it's been a while. Been super busy with life but got a chance to tinker with an old Pixel 3XL recently. It was a pretty fun experiment. #tech #softwaredeveloper #cybersecurity #linux #android asbedb.dev/musings/smor...

I've recently embarked on a journey pushing myself into a new learning challenge: building and emulating an " #OS " from the hardware up using #TypeScript, with a focus on understanding the #NT Architecture that underpins #Windows You can read about it here 👇 docs.asbedb.com/projects/ang...

Small technical write up on a recently completed and fairly simple #CTF over at picoCTF. I wanted to go the extra mile and do it on #Windows - fun little #CyberSecurity exercise to translate some simple #Linux commands we take for granted over to #PowerShell. #picoCTF #InfoSec #LearnByDoing

Yesterday, I decided to revisit some of my earlier projects. Dusted off some of my "early" code to get this functional and ready to share. I hope it brings back some joy and memories! 😅 Best viewed on desktop. asbedb.github.io/windowsxphtml/ #html #CSS #JS #coding #programming

💻🔒 Today I tackled JSON Web Tokens 🔒💻 What started as a simple authentication system to streamline my app's data management turned into an insightful journey through React Router, JWTs, Client/Server-Side Authentication—and more. #WebDev #React #Vite #NodeJS #Security #JS #TypeScript

I've been building an OSRS inspired browser based idle game. I just crossed the 100th item threshold, barely scratching the surface. It's been a great learning journey so far. #vite #osrs #gamedev #typescript #react #dev

I spent some time setting up a Dokuwiki yesterday. Good little project to help keep a track of documentation, notes and thoughts.

Instructions unclear additional keys now missing.

Blast from the past. I remember playing Lemmings, Worms, Word Rescue, Lion King and Alladin. Good times.

I had the pleasure of learning about media law and radio broadcasting from an 84 year old legend today. Cherish the elderly and the wisdom they can impart. It was eye opening and humbling.

If you haven't read the story of Notepad++ You should read the story of Notepad++ So much behind an application i basically grew up with. www.xda-developers.com/story-notepa...

I spent my day reading about making the web accessible and revisited my early projects trying to fix errors I overlooked. The biggest point I took away from it all. "You're not the user". Poignant and important in my design philosophy moving forward.

Linux is extremely accessible these days and should be on more systems! Gotta love stories like this.
