My site got reborn! I moved off a broken Drupal install to simple Jekyll + PHP — much easier to manage. Now I deploy instantly with plain Markdown/YAML, run by my growing agent fleet. Feels good to experiment again! https://www.thinkyhead.com/blogs/thinkyhead/2026-07-06/the-thinkyhead-site-reborn/

How much discount for a quite functional 16” MacBook Pro with M1 Pro 16GB and 1TB storage with a little bit of screen discoloration only noticeable on light backgrounds? It was repaired by world famous Rossmann Repair Group. Replacement displays are about $300 but this one is not actually that bad.

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

If writing an entirely new firmware from the ground up —stealing from the best— sounds like a fun and interesting project to you, join us in this exciting initiative! Interesting developments are afoot. #OpenSource #3DPrinting #RepRap #RightToRepair

We're rewriting the Marlin website from the ground up as an accessible feature-first User Manual — with an eye towards knowledge embedding and further integration with Auto Build Marlin and that OctoPrint 2 plugin we keep teasing. Exciting time to be an #OpenSource maintainer / web dev!

First in a series of live-streams evaluating #HermesAgent and other tools for OSS coding on an existing project by a naive fool with a vanishingly small token budget. #OpenSource #Coding #AI youtu.be/c7CgYjAzNFM?...

Of course I will use one remote control location for all my helpful #Hermes agents. Building a team that does research and development in embedded software and motion control alongside project maintenance presents an interesting challenge, especially on a tight budget. Must learn however!

Are you using several #StableDiffusion and/or #LLM front-ends, each with their own separate model download and management? All those 5GB+ models add up fast! - Wrangle those duplicates with 'rdfind -makehardlinks'. - Use Gollama for sharing models between #LMStudio and #Ollama.

Looking for a thoroughly awesome #Hermes dashboard that you can customize? Then you should try out Scarf. github.com/awizemann/sc...

Before you unleash #Agents on your #OpenSource project prepare and curate all your knowledge. Sharpen it and remove dross and resolve ambiguities. Provide a high level overview first and work towards details subsystem-by-subsystem. Be patient and take advantage of shared skills.

I've been evaluating agent micro-harnesses for a few weeks, including Zed, Pi, Copilot, and Hermes. Hermes instantly grabbed me with its ability to integrate and improve my custom tooling and solve requests methodically and creatively, inventing skills as the need arose.

🤖 #HermesAgent is ingesting my folders of partially-finished Python and shell-scripted projects into its matrix of skills, enfolding my half-formed ideas in the warm embrace of its agentacle tentacles. I'll show it everything I've got and ask it what it can do with it. It's not #OpenClaw but… #AI

As an experiment I set up a simple Frotz endpoint so #AI agents powered by #LLMs can play Z-code text adventures. I'm getting surprising results! Just within its own context (ignoring instruction to write notes) Mistral Small 3.2 is one the best players of "Zork: The Great Underground Empire."

Shawarma calls!

Did #GitHub Copilot powered by #Claude just one-shot the solution for a lost steps issue that only manifests when Input Shaping adds extra cycles to the Stepper Interrupt? It looks that way! I did give it some hints where to look, but with only the vaguest of inklings.

Doing one of those Premiere video things on YouTube. Developing a Sublime Text plugin. In this case, for editing Commodore 64 BASIC. Fun stuff! youtu.be/LlyACog5IFo #RetroCoding #OpenSource #Commodore64 #Coding #Python

Thinkyhead Live! — Commodore 64 BASIC • Sublime Plugin

Of course I cannot stop at just Atari BASIC and 6502 Assembly support…. The C64Tools and PETSCII plugins for Sublime Text are coming along nicely! I just need to complete the BASIC translation between VICE (PETSCII) and Sublime (Unicode). Stay tuned! #C64 #Commodore64 #RetroComputing #OpenSource

We have entered the #RetroCoding matrix!

Meanwhile… I'm adding a new utility to "6502 Tools" for all you old-school Atari 8-bit coders out there. The "ATASCII Insert" Sublime Text plugin provides quick access to inverted and special characters in supported fonts like Atari Classic. #RetroCoding #Atari #MOS6502

I'm making steady progress in my quest to properly redo that game I wrote in 1983 using Atari BASIC + 6502… "Snorky!" is an homage to Q*Bert that follows the logic that if hopping on a small pile of cubes makes Q*Bert fun then many more cubes should be even more fun! #RetroCoding #Atari #MOS6502

Your #AtariBASIC tip of the day. Numbers in AtariBASIC are always 6 byte floats! But you can use strings to store integer data and access it with PEEK and POKE. Strings can also be cleverly manipulated to manipulate memory and even draw player-missile graphics. #RetroCoding #Atari #MOS6502

The Atari 400 / 800 / XL nostalgia bug has got me looking back at old unfinished projects from 43 years ago and thinking, surely, with all my high level language experience I could do much better at Atari BASIC scaffolding code augmented with 6502 assembly today. We shall see! #RetroCoding
