11:51:00 +07:00 Write your own terminal - Cool idea for a side project. One of my favorite things about building the first version of my linkblog was that I could use it everyday as I was building it. It ended up being one of my most used tools. Of course it was quite rudimentary initially, but since I was using it a lot, I added lots of features. The article mentions a wild idea of using OpenGL, and if you are planning on going into 3D stuff it definitely is, but if not I'd focus on other things like portability abd modularity. You might even be able to structure your application so you can swap out the boring renderer for the fancy OpenGL later. Though to be honest getting that right might be a big challenge in itself. Whatever the route make sure the iterations are small, get something operstionally working quicky, even if it looks basic, then make it better. # flak.tedunangst.com

17:48:00 +07:00 Whatever happened to NFTs? - The Simpson's just did an episode all about NFTs, in which Homer tries to get in on the speculation action. Perhaps it's a sign the market has bottomed out? There are some interesting figures in the article. I'm curious to see how and if the market recovers. Some are currently buying big name NFTs in the hopes of getting a bargain. If there is a recovery they could make hundreds of thousands of dollars. Seems unlikely in a recession environment, but it's not a normal environment, with the treasury bond market looking unstable, Bitcoin is starting to become an attractive store of value. And if that happens, then maybe NFTs will see a resurgeance. I am not a finance expert though. # www.bbc.com

18:12:00 +07:00 Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg details Tumblr’s future after re-org - It will be interesting to see how many of the Tumblr users get a subscription and how many decide it's not worth it. Automattic is such an odd company in a way, it's like this sort of hodge podge collection of products that don't quite fit together into a cohesive whole, but they do kinda. Their approach to development and community building is interesting to watch. It looks very different to non open source companies. I hope they can turn it around somehow because Tumblr is a big part of internet history. # techcrunch.com
