Uses

Inspired by uses.tech and the slash pages movement.

A living page. Things change; I try to keep this current.

Hardware

  • Main machine — Monster Abra A5 V17.4 15,6 - Gaming Laptop
  • Single-board — Raspberry Pi 4 — always running something
  • 3D Printer — Ender3-V2
  • Microcontrollers — Arduino, various AVR boards
  • Ham radio — TA2WHM — HF & VHF rigs

Software & Dev Tools

  • Editor — VS / VS Code
  • Terminal — PowerShell
  • Static site — 11ty (Eleventy)
  • 3D modelling — Blender
  • Slicer — Cura / PrusaSlicer
  • Version control — Git + GitHub

Languages I Actually Use

  • JavaScript (vanilla — no framework fatigue here)
  • 6502 Assembly — Atmas II old habits
  • Python — scripting and quick tools
  • HTML / CSS — obviously

Retro & Roots

This is where it all started — and it still runs.

  • Atari 800XL — My first computer. Still on the desk, still working.
  • Atari 410 Program Recorder — Cassette storage. Patience was mandatory.
  • Atari 1050 Driver — A luxury upgrade. Double density felt like the future.

These machines share something with every computer I've touched since:
a 6502 at the heart. Once you understand that chip, you understand
the fundamentals that everything else is built on.

Emulation & Active Dev

  • Altirra — The most accurate 8-bit Atari emulator in existence.
    Cycle-exact, hardware-faithful. Invaluable for development and nostalgia alike.

  • Eclipse + WUDSN IDE — A full 6502 development environment inside Eclipse.
    Syntax highlighting, error markers, direct Altirra launch — write, assemble, and run
    without leaving the editor. Serious tooling for serious old iron.

  • Retro Assembler — A modern IDE for old iron.
    6502 / 65C02 assembly with syntax highlighting, labels, macros, and a sane workflow.
