Bending the latest #WeeklyTeletextArt prompt “Pirates” a bit to do a little Teletext conversion of Unit A’s famous cracktro from 1988:

…because, you know, software pirates are pirates, too. :)

A propos reference: On Twitter @elkmoose pointed me to the reference’s reference, the box art of Ultima V. Nice, I didn’t know that!

PS: As usual, pixel OCD set in hours after posting and I had to do some adjustments that look 25% better and are 100% invisible to the casual observer… (plus a scrolltext adjustment)

Boring web-dev stuff, yay!

After a little pause of twenty years, I decided to freshen up my favicon foo. All those previews, browser tab headings and search results I’m seeing are giving me the impression that a 16×16-pixel bitmap in an obscure Microsoft file format doesn’t cut it anymore…

What is this, a favicon for ants?

At least on my ancient low-dpi desktop, Google Chrome still uses the 16×16 version in its native resolution, and because low-res is cool, this size shall be the starting point.

After handpixelling three versions for the smaller sizes (16×16, 32×32, 64×64) it turned out that I cannot use the 32 px one. For the browser tab icon, Google Chrome will always load the 32×32 version and squish it down to 16×16 pixels if both versions are referenced.

Well, that was fun. Let’s never touch favicons again until 2044.

Hmm, where does this quote come from? I could swear it was a punchline somewhere; was it Arrested Development or the IT Crowd? Simpsons, maybe?

Anyhoo, it’s finally here: I got my copy of Demoscene – the Amiga renaissance, the latest installment of Éditions64’s glamorous demoscene coffee table books.

Renaissance as in “Amiga demo renaissance”

And we’re in it, with a little feature of Blood Sugar Rises!

It’s a bit weird to be featured with a tongue-in-cheek production, but I’ll take it! In the end, it did win the Revision Amiga demo compo…

Also, the editors understood the assignment (as today’s younglings would put it) and placed it right after Batman Rises, the masterpiece of a demo that was the blueprint for this production. Heh, heh! :)
