@bateskecom Waiting for the additional camera(s?) to perform overhead shots down onto the desk…

[Heiko Behrens @HBehrens]

@marcusficner Nice! Heißt es das, was ich vermute? Dann herzlichen Glückwunsch und alles, was Du Dir erhoffst 🥰

[Heiko Behrens @HBehrens]

@bateskecom There’s a video? Totally missed that! Sorry, went straight ahead and backed the project when I saw its title and creator’s name 😂

[Heiko Behrens @HBehrens]

@ap_green_tea Ah, super! Wir haben ja unsere gegenseitigen Nummern und Adressen. Dann melde ich mich ganz ohne Internet und tagsüber bei Dir, wenn ich morgen wieder zuhause bin 🙂

[Heiko Behrens @HBehrens]

@ap_green_tea Hallo Herr/Frau Green Tea, ich habe keine Nachrichten bei FB oder Insta und erst recht keine Absicht, Vereinbarungen zu brechen. “2 Jahre” und “USA” sind aber zu passend, um versehentlich der falsche Heiko zu sein. Wer bist Du? Hatten wir bisher anders kommuniziert?

[Heiko Behrens @HBehrens]

@NordicTweets @Memfault Getting ready for some webinar fun with @DMYabo in ~40min. Those @playdate and @Pebble on the desk will give me mental support for the live demo with coding, microcrontrollers, phone, BLE, and cloud stuff involved🤞

[Heiko Behrens @HBehrens]

Combining my absent talent for jokes, worse Figma skills, occasional exposure to volleyball with my professional discipline of banging together computer chips – may I present to you this:

[Heiko Behrens @HBehrens]

@markusvoelter Congrats! Didn’t know you were working on it. Will definitely have a read once it’s out. Good luck on te home stretch 💪

[Heiko Behrens @HBehrens]

@kaffeeringe Ach! 😳 ich wusste doch, dass mir dieser Typ mit der super schlechten Synchronstimme irgendwie bekannt vorkam…

[Heiko Behrens @HBehrens]

@bitshiftmask Used a system like that (plus todo.txt) for a few years. Then ~2 years ago I switch to @obsdmd – you still have text files if you want to (eg sync + backup) but it’s soooo much more by now 🥰

Last week was our Q4 company offsite in Portugal! 🍻

We spent the week listening to presentations, participating in workshops, and taking time to enjoy Albufeira’s beaches.

Come join our team: https://t.co/6kTvskjc9h

@HenryLevak I am sure it has less bezel through 😉

[Heiko Behrens @HBehrens]

@FlohOfWoe Not equivalent if malloc returns NULL though – what if you *want* those segfaults? Way too narrow-minded these compilers 😉

[Heiko Behrens @HBehrens]

That feeling when you get to your desk for a late night session, put on your headphones 🎧, get in the zone, and be productive for hours… only to find out way past midnight that you were sitting there in silence, not listening to anything at all 😂

[Heiko Behrens @HBehrens]

@bitshiftmask Espurino bundled hardware and OSS (a JS runtime) and positioned it as tinkerer device(s). Maybe this appeals to the Rust community too? You might get users of you app system as a bonus…

[Heiko Behrens @HBehrens]

@gregnacu @shanselman Looking forward to the episode 😍

[Heiko Behrens @HBehrens]

@IShJR @gitpod @ArduboyTweets Uff… vastly different graphics pipelines (CPU vs. tiles + sprites vs. GPU). PlentyWings assumes CPU-driven rendering. Tooling is completely custom and (as with my Pebble demos) is built around browser-based debugging/editing.

[Heiko Behrens @HBehrens]

Found some time to work on my cross-platform rewrite of PinyWings aiming at anything from 8bit Arduboy with 2.5KB RAM to 32bit devices in popular yellow or as aquatic mammal.

Screenshot: editing C code in @gitpod and interactive debugging of resulting WASM in browser.

@IShJR @gitpod Too much content, too little time 😢 Anything you'd be interested in specifically?
