Hello, I'm Didier.
💾 I was part of the OG Amiga scene in the 80s as Doctor Soft in The Kent Team, Red Sector Inc & Aces. 🕹️ I made games at Power & Magic, Interplay, Shiny Entertainment, Naughty Dog & Ready At Dawn Studios. 🎧 I wrote an app for DJs called Rekord Buddy at Next Audio Labs. 🧸 I wrote toybox.py for the Playdate console SDK. 🎓 I'm writing tutorials for the openFPGA platform. 👾 I'm making a fantasy console for the Analogue Pocket. 🎵 I'm a part-time bedroom DJ. 🚴 I ride bikes for fun.
Here are the various places I interact with on the inter-webs these days: 🕸️ My blog is now on the small web via the gemini protocol. 📝 My .plan is at didier@happynetbox.com via the finger protocol. 🐘 My daily rambling and main point of contact is on Mastodon. 💻 I post and maintain some code on Codeberg. 📺 I do live streams of me struggling to code via Owncast. 🎥 I post replays on those streams on Peertube. 🎵 I sometimes post my DJ sets on Mixcloud. 💬 I'm also @didiermalenfant:matrix.org on Matrix if you need a quick chat.
What is the small web and what is that Gemini and Finger I hear you talk about? You can find out more about Gemini or read a quickstart about the protocol. To start browsing you can use Lagrange for macOS and iOS, Elaho for iOS or AmiGemini for AmigaOS (requires AmiSSL). Finger is an even older protocol, on macOS you can use it from the command line like this: finger didier@happynetbox.com | more
