It has taken me this embarrassingly long time to set up a local Qemu instance, running 9front, with the ability to connect to it with drawterm.
And after all the fuss to have history in the terminal for easier operation -’
Here are the notes!
A continuation of a long-awaited adventure!
Not only is it booted through an SD card, but also the same hacky, incoherent mess of two functions in memory that toggle a register has been recreated in Zig.
The steps and code so far are here.
Let’s all just take it slow for a while.
Hello burnout, my old friend.
Well, this month was straight up not fun.
Long story short, driving drained me!
Two hour commute each day, and the car with assistive systems decides to take a month long “sick leave”. Not to mention the stupidity of “winter time” with the added bonus of driving to and from work in the darkness.
This wasn’t just two hours of spare time less for frivolous things, this was two hours of attention demanding work more. I am done.
Oh, and what caused this? Clean screws:
Factory error where anti vibration glue was not applied. And god knows why a high pressure/RPM VVT system would ever need that. So it takes a looong time to get a spare part that is never ever expected to fail.
A comet!

It’s quite amazing what you can do today with a cell phone camera:
Is this becoming an excuse or just adjusting to the new reality of existence? The daily grind is real. I know it passes the time, but I am starting to wonder how the time is passed.
Anyway, be amazed at the world of physics and witness a blue shadow:
