Welcome to WZMN.

──────────────── My little corner of the internet, and a cozy home for the things I make: projects old and new, experiments I'm still tinkering with, the ideas I'm chasing, and the lessons I've picked up along the way. Pull up a chair and have a look around.

Hi, I'm Arik. Software engineer by day, tinkerer by night. I love computers and everything we can make them do. I build tools, browser extensions and apps, take things apart to see how they work, and write about what I learn along the way. My first computer was this one: an Amstrad PC1512 with a monochrome monitor.

Click a name or a command, or type one: Projects things I built Blog what I write about Contact send me a message Elsewhere: GitHub github.com/arikw RSS wzmn.net/blog/rss.xml

ECHO OFF ECHO Windows? On a PC1512? You must mean GEM.
