It's still *quite* the work-in-progress, so this is mostly just me rambling about what I've been up to/thinking about while developing it. https://hitogata.neocities.org/Blocks https://hitogata.neocities.org/Blocks Thu, 01 Oct 2026 12:00:00 -0400 I built a tiny file format inspired by a 1970s programming idea that I fell down a rabbit hole learning about, and wrote about how I found it and what I hope to use it for. https://hitogata.neocities.org/POP-2000 https://hitogata.neocities.org/POP-2000 Mon, 24 Aug 2026 12:00:00 -0400 Myself and Devine (of Uxn and Hundred Rabbits fame) have been working on an idea for a dialect of POP-2 to serve as a lingua-franca for tiny (generally concatenative) systems. https://hitogata.neocities.org/Angola_Project https://hitogata.neocities.org/Angola_Project Thu, 05 Feb 2026 12:00:00 -0500 A brief summary of the cultural interpretation work I did for the Angola archaeological site, focusing on the Afro-Seminole Creole language. https://hitogata.neocities.org/ok https://hitogata.neocities.org/ok Mon, 26 Jan 2026 12:00:00 -0500 After a long time away from this blog, I can tell you a bit more about `ok`, the tiny virtual machine I created for my undergraduate honor's thesis in computer science. https://hitogata.neocities.org/Wheels https://hitogata.neocities.org/Wheels Fri, 19 Sep 2025 12:00:00 -0400 I often grow frustrated with the "don't reinvent the wheel" sentiment that gets pushed in the software development field. I decided to write about it. https://hitogata.neocities.org/Rust_compiles_really_slow https://hitogata.neocities.org/Rust_compiles_really_slow Mon, 01 Sep 2025 12:00:00 -0400 Nothing against Rust, but it has some pretty nasty compile times, especially on older hardware- I explore this a bit as I recompile a Rust to-do list CLI app that I wrote (called whatdo) on a very old laptop.
