This is one that I recall seeing and saying "if I wanted to write firmware, I would go write firmware."

WEB1999: the web of 1999 in math class | ใ‚ฟใƒช I often find that imposed limitations make it easier to create things: itโ€™s easy to aim for perfection if you can expend as much effort as you like on something and thus end up with nothing that youโ€™ll ever call good enough to share. Over on Cemetech in the final months of 2023,1 we held a programming contest: write a screensaver, any kind of screensaver. Iโ€™m not often one to do any kind of competitive programming, but as a prompt for a constrained project this was a good one for me. As a result, I wrote a program I called WEB1999, that won second place.

My first blog post of 2025! A program inspired by Windows 9x-style retrocomputing, with additional interesting bits of implementation stemming from running on a CPU that's barely out of the early 90s.

It's WEB1999! https://www.taricorp.net/2025/web1999/
