Corentin makes a randomized blog-roll app for Spacehey
Category: Blogging
One of the weird joys of the early-00s web were the various randomizers -- click on a button and you'd be taken to a random person's page.

Torben made an iphone app for showing the latest Spacehey blog posts
Category: Blogging
If you have an iphone running iOS 14, there's an app called "Scriptable" that lets you write a little bit of custom java script to accomplish a task. (I'm intentionally misspelling the name of that programming language because spacehey bans it, heh.) Torben wrote a script that creates a widget on your iphone to display the lastest blog posts on Spacehey; he » Continue Reading

The secrets behind the ghost behavior in pac-man
Category: Blogging
I was obsessed with Pac-Man a kid -- I'm old enough to have played it back when it was originally in arcades, and I even bought the book Mastering Pac-Man for the patterns. (I eventually got good enough at those patterns I rolled the machine over twice, which took I think about four hours? Enough that I was kind of a mess afterwards physically.) Anyway, today I stumbled upon » Continue Reading

Turns out spacehey thinks Emily Dckinson's name is a curse word
Category: Blogging
So, when I was creating my spacehey account, every time I tried to save my "interests", the system kept on deleting them and telling me it contained a curse word. I could not for the life of me see any curse word I'd used. (Actually back during the early days of blogging I decided to avoid all swear words online, because my theory was I wanted to write posts for audiences that could stretch litera... » Continue Reading
