Programs and Tools

I have a love-hate relationship with WordPress and have been thinking about replacing it with a static site. I wrote a script to export posts from WordPress to Markdown files.

I previously discussed how to emulate Mac OS 8 and 9 on modern computers. Recently, I was shown Infinite Mac, a website that allows emulation of these and earlier Mac OS versions directly in your browser. From System 1.0 to Mac OS 9.2.2, most major releases are available. This suite offers a convenient and innovative way to experience classic Mac OS without downloads or installations.

In this post, I decided it would be fun to write a list of technologies and experiences that show my age in technology.

I bought an old PowerMac G3 Blue and White. In this article, I try to get Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar installed on the system.

I bought an old PowerMac G3 Blue and White. First, I performed some maintenance, then I upgraded some hardware.

Until about two years ago, I was exclusively a Mac user, but Windows 11 has me rethinking that.

The Boring Stack encourages using familiar technologies for efficient project development, emphasizing efficiency and reliability over exploring new tech and frameworks.

The growing trend of software companies shifting from one-time purchase models to subscription services is rather disturbing. Wwhile this provides a consistent revenue stream for companies, it burdens consumers with repeated costs and may result in subscription fatigue.

I came across an article today that discussed efforts being made to create an open-source technology to make UI development in Swift on Windows possible.

An operating system that was released 25 years ago and required an entire computer to run can now instead be run in a browser window with an interpreted language.

I don’t like clutter. In fact, I am very picky about what I install on my computer which is one reason I love virtual machines to experiment with new technologies.

In this post, I talk about which productivity tools I use for my work as a developer, my personal development projects and my personal life.
