Got first place in the realtime compo! Even better, I won the Raster award, for best humorous production in the spirit of much-missed Atari demoscene legend Raster https://demozoo.org/sceners/8875/. Been chasing after that one for quite some time!

After a long hiatus, I made a new release of https://jsspeccy.zxdemo.org/ ! Nothing very earth-shattering... mostly so that the little customisation hacks I did for Bazematic (like being able to disable keyboard controls and UI) had an official home.

In celebration of Deadline demoparty's 10th anniversary, I put together a little song entitled "We Didn't Start The Färjan" - a reworking of a certain Billy Joel song into an anthem for 40 years of demo scene history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNL8pqQ01Qc

So you know how I made a demo at @demoparty_no for a monitor that got damaged in transit in a bag pocket without adequate protection, causing it to produce interesting glitchy colours?
