Hello. I am the kind of nerd that is able to juggle pixels and vector graphics with ease, emulate sidechain compression using envelopes and use an unsigned int as a bit mask.

If you are a similar kind of nerd I'd like to talk to you. If you are a different kind of nerd I'd like to talk to you as well.

#introduction

I sometimes pretend to be cool but I don't know why. Let's much rather be the dorks that we really are. Who's in?

I'm posting an #introduction for people to find me. (hashtags are searchable)

I'm a music #producer making electronic #music and a member of the #demoscene in the group Bedrock Bros. I also write watchfaces for the #pebble #smartwatch and recently #fitbit smartwatches. I'm generally interested in everything #audio #visual on a very nerdy level.

#podcaster hosting the #podcast Datenschorle. Work: #graphic #designer / art director and leading a #webdev team

Due to a prolonged fight in our D&D session I'm sad to report that today I will not solve the Advent of Code puzzle on time. Hard nerd life decisions

I'm committing crimes against Italian cuisine. 99% certain that something similar to what I'm doing was the reason the Mafia was invented

I'm finishing up a job in which I'm encouraged to include a silly joke in a thing that will get published near the end of the year (a dialog with a progress bar labeled "Downloading 2020 … Restarting …")

It's _______. I'm getting some coffee.

Today's AoC took me way longer than I had hoped. Still on track though solving both parts on the day they release \o/

Took the opportunity and used Advent of Code day 5 to rework the intcode interpreter I cobbled together for day 2. I have a proper opcode/instruction definition object now and a lean compute function.

I hope we get to use intcode again on a future day

So far I've set aside time every day to solve both Advent of Code parts the day they unlock. I hope I can keep that up

You know what's worse than a website that asks you to subscribe to their newsletter in an overlay seconds after you visit the site?

Websites that do this when you visited the site through a link in a newsletter and the URL has a parameter to signal this.

It's almost 2020 and I've just visited a bakery that offers contactless payment for the first time. Finally! I thought bakeries were a lost cause

This is a very entertaining talk by the creator of Advent of Code about creating Advent of Code
