1BRC
Weekly Post #3
Last week has been more of the same: jobs, taxes, ANTLR v.4, but I also spent time on some interesting programming challenge, the one billion row challenge AKA “1BRC”; I’ll get there in a bit.
6502
6502 / Apple II Emulator (2025)
I started writing a 6502 processor emulator in C++, with the goal of emulating an Apple II on an ESP32 microcontroller.

AI
PartyRock, and why AI is not ready yet to replace coders
Using #PartyRock, the new app generator from Amazon.com, I tried to “create an app that would show the best algorithm in PHP to solve a specific problem, and the syntax of the PHP functions used”.
AI Peerjuice — Music Reviews (2025)
I created AI Peerjuice, a music review website using artificial intelligence.
Aleena Gum — Virtual AI Musician (2025)
I created Aleena Gum, a virtual AI musician, along with an associated website. The project also led to the production of three albums.
Bistro Gourmand — AI Chef (2025)
I created Bistro Gourmand, an AI chef website that brings together my interests in food and artificial intelligence.
n0vel1st — Display Progress (2025)
I returned to my n0vel1st project and made significant progress on the display, with help from AI. It was a chance to move an older project forward again.
Peerjuice — AI Project Planning (2025)
I improved Peerjuice with AI project planning capabilities.
Sphyn — React Revival (2025)
I briefly revived Sphyn to port it from PHP to React, using AI to help with the migration.
Electronics Inventory for macOS (2026)
I created a macOS application to keep track of my electronic components and component purchases. It also brings together documentation and component information retrieved with the help of AI.
ANTLR4
Weekly Post #4
I missed a week. That happens! Too much to do, too deeply involved in projects, or far less interesting activities (taxes, anyone?), too many things to read online (learning new things, looking for technical answers, or just going through the rabbit hole, one among so many others, of economy, housing, people, AI, businesses, and when the world’s likely going to end because of us, dumb humans…), there’s ALWAYS an excuse, good I think, for other things to stall. Well, at least it’s my own projects that stall, not professional work (I only spend time looking for things online that are work related, don’t get me wrong)

Weekly Post #2
Last week started as a “going to do some Go” week, but quickly, some posts and articles about recent language issues (in French originally) with gender-neutrality adaptation (and often consecutive dismissal or refusal) sent me through the rabbit hole of linguistics, translations and language creation.
AWS
Weekly Post #1
So, I decided I should just try to post at least once a week. It’s good for writing practice, it helps summarizing the activity from last week, and maybe it will give (someone) a feeling of progress… This will be my kind of standup meeting (for the week… not going to bore you everyday, LOL)

Bye, Yahoo!
I opened my first decent email account in 1997, on Yahoo!, right after letting go of hosted email at CompuServe, which I had to check in a browser, and installed Netscape Mail to read it directly using POP3 at the time (I used IMAP4 later, for more convenience)

Two weeks without my regular weekly post! What am I doing?! Well, been busy on the MacOS Vue mini-project and I didn’t see the time fly. That should tell me I should start doing planning for myself… Anyways, today I’m going to just talk about Open Source and its potential pitfalls.

Weekly Post #5 - The Downsides of Open Source
Two weeks without my regular weekly post! What am I doing?! Well, been busy on the MacOS Vue mini-project and I didn’t see the time fly. That should tell me I should start doing planning for myself… Anyways, today I’m going to just talk about Open Source and its potential pitfalls.
Weekly Post #4
I missed a week. That happens! Too much to do, too deeply involved in projects, or far less interesting activities (taxes, anyone?), too many things to read online (learning new things, looking for technical answers, or just going through the rabbit hole, one among so many others, of economy, housing, people, AI, businesses, and when the world’s likely going to end because of us, dumb humans…), there’s ALWAYS an excuse, good I think, for other things to stall. Well, at least it’s my own projects that stall, not professional work (I only spend time looking for things online that are work related, don’t get me wrong)
Weekly Post #3
Last week has been more of the same: jobs, taxes, ANTLR v.4, but I also spent time on some interesting programming challenge, the one billion row challenge AKA “1BRC”; I’ll get there in a bit.
Weekly Post #2
Last week started as a “going to do some Go” week, but quickly, some posts and articles about recent language issues (in French originally) with gender-neutrality adaptation (and often consecutive dismissal or refusal) sent me through the rabbit hole of linguistics, translations and language creation.
Weekly Post #1
So, I decided I should just try to post at least once a week. It’s good for writing practice, it helps summarizing the activity from last week, and maybe it will give (someone) a feeling of progress… This will be my kind of standup meeting (for the week… not going to bore you everyday, LOL)

Bye, Yahoo!
I opened my first decent email account in 1997, on Yahoo!, right after letting go of hosted email at CompuServe, which I had to check in a browser, and installed Netscape Mail to read it directly using POP3 at the time (I used IMAP4 later, for more convenience)
