  Housekeeping 8/1/2023    
       
  Howdy friends, it's been a little quiet around here lately. As usual I've been taking most of the summer off, with vacations and the beach and such.

A quick check-in today - I did a little housekeeping on the site, fixing a few errors and removing some older updates. Hopefully as the summer draws to a close I'll find some more time to return to semi-normal updates.

  NESFab 5/26/2023    
       
  Missed this one when it came out a couple months ago:

NESFab is a programming language of great specificity: it's for making games on the Nintendo Entertainment System, whose ancient vintage otherwise demands a punishing command of 6502 Assembly.
