I'm hacking on FlixMix, a 1993 DOS game. I kinda assumed it'd use FLIC files, but nope, it has its own animation format. A really bad one, it's not compressed at all.

The animations are also split into three files, FLIXMIX.001-FLIXMIX.003, which are each about 1.1mb, meaning they didn't have to have an elaborate installer, which could support having one big file spread across three disks

This post is being shared over on BlueSky, too; let's see which social network can get there first!

Today the Trevor Project has a donor providing a 4x match to our contributions: thetrevorproject.org/

My employer also provides a 2x match.

Until the end of today or I receive $1,000 confirmed donations, I'll match you as well. You'll get a 4x match, I'll get an 8x match. If you donate $50, that'll amount to a $600 donation between us.

Update: Mastodon has already reached my max!

The best designed Apple product of all time is the pizza box at their internal cafe:

  • It is round, the pizza does not slide.
  • It is sufficiently rigid that you do not need a little table to hold up the lid.
  • You can take off the lid and stack them, without the base of one box touching the pizza below. One person can easily carry ten pizzas like this.
  • It is easy to recycle.
  • The lid can be removed and used as a plate.

They could have made a lot more money commercialising this than they will ever make from Apple Intelligence.

숫자에 맞춰서
물감으로 칠하기만 하면 되는 액자를
엄마가 사셨는데
숫자가 잘 안보이신다고 해서
집에 굴러다니던 확대경을
잘 닦아서 드리니까
너무 잘 보인다고 좋아하신다

Since I am pinning this to my profile, I am shortening it dramatically. To read the post in its entirety and understand exactly what I am seeking and the research I have done so far, please go here.

I love opera singers from prior to the 1950's. My favourite is Tito Schipa, and I am attempting to learn what he taught and how he learned. I have his ten vocal exercises but not the booklet that came with them. I wrote to Seth Riggs, who studied under him, but he never responded. I am now researching one of Schipa's most famous teachers, Alceste Gerunda (1847-1917) since he studied with him for six years. Gerunda's teacher was Saverio Mercadante. Gerunda himself taught at the Convitto Palmieri, which now olds the Bernardini Library, prior to opening his own school in his home. I wrote to the library but never heard from them. They have two books that interest me, namely "ALCESTE GERUNDA E LA SCUOLA LECCESE DI CANTO" by Silvia Mandurino (ITES 1969) and "IN MEMORIA DEL MAESTRO ALCESTE GERUNDA NE L'AVVIVERSARIO PRIMO DE LA SUA MORTE" by Giulia) Lucrezi (Palumbo. (I found the first online, and while it is fascinating, it doesn't contain what I need.) What I am seeking is anecdotes regarding his lessons, notes he may have written, books he may have used, the pedagogy he followed, etc. I am totally blind and live in New Jersey, America, so it's not possible for me to travel to Lecce. I posted to their subreddit, but I will leave this here in case anyone in the wider community can help. If you or someone you know teaches real bel canto (no scientific or modern ideas), I would love to hear from you.
