Programming. That’s what I do for a living. Well, that’s what I try to do for a living. Most of the time I’m just managing people. But at least my job description says I’m a programmer. It’s funny that programming is what I want to do when I’m trying to escape.

Several years ago, I put together a 6502 8-bit CPU emulator core. I used this core inside my Compukit emulator.

That was a few years ago. I’ve barely touched it since. But recently, I’ve had thoughts of putting together an Atari emulator. I know there’s plenty of Atari emulators out there, so this isn’t new ground I’m covering. This time, it’s not going to be on a Windows platform. I’m using this as an opportunity to get my feet wet in X programming under Linux. I’m playing with Gladeas a UI builder. I’ll let you know how I get on.
