    https://cylog.ai/ These are games I originally wrote from the DOS/Turbo Pascal era through the Win32/Delphi era — running on everything from DOS prompts to Windows NT, 95, XP, 2000, you name it. Chunky dialogs, raw GDI graphics, text-mode screens, and all the charm of a beige tower PC. Now, powered by Gemini CLI and Claude Code, each title has been faithfully re-engineered to run natively in your browser. No plugins. No emulation. Just the games, reborn. … I'm not a game-player. This is serendipity. https://bsd.network/@dvl/117172923405570692 led me to: UTF-8 to HTML Converter - atopon.org – thanks to @dvl@bsd.network. Seeing "atopon", I assumed Aaron Toponce. I was wrong, of course! atopon.org is a division of CyLog Software: … a software house specializing in Win32 utilities and games. Our programs are free for non-commercial use. We believe that people should be able to try and use computer software freely. This is how ideas become popular and better computer software is built.

    Wouldn’t you believe it, this site is running off my special home server: a Nintendo Wii with a 729 MHz PowerPC CPU and a whopping 64 MB usable RAM! It runs NetBSD 10.1 and serves this site exclusively over IPv6 – clients connecting through IPv4 are proxied via another server… http://wii.sjmulder.nl/

    I had the LTE Lite 4/33C, that was my portable machine through highschool and a good chunk of college. I was still using it in 2000, 2001ish. My next laptop was.... somewhat faster.
