  • Choo Choo: Thought Train Coming Thru

    My mom asked when is the last time I created something. It feels like forever. I've only ruminate and half ass started projects to only finish them 3 years from now. I would love to complete something. She once said creating is my therapy and she's right. But like everything else I enjoy, it's hard to get motivated to complete the process.

  • Unemployment

    So, I've been unemployed for the last two months or so. Ironically, I don't feel like I have more free time than before (house chores are never ending), but I feel that my mental health is improving and that's good.

  • A Sunday out

    I went to the Sonpo Museum of Art[1] in Shinjuku today, to see the Taisho Imagerie exhibition[2]. It was pretty good, and the galleries were not very crowded, despite it being a Sunday afternoon. I didn't know what to expect, but I saw a few pieces that I really liked. Unfortunately only a few could be photographed, but not the ones I was interested in. The giftshop did not have postcards of the pieces I liked, either. Oh well.

    Tokyo is full of museums, and there are a few exhibitions coming up that I'd like to see. One is European Masterpieces between Renaissance and Baroque[3], and the other is Van Gogh’s Home: The Van Gogh Museum. The Painter’s Legacy, the Family Collection, the Ongoing Story[4].

  • Using FCEUX to Play this Proof-of-Concept NES Game is a User Input - Expanding on PoC||GTFO 18:4

    Presented is a proof-of-concept Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) ROM that behaves differently if played on versions 2.3.0 through 2.6.6 (the most recent version as of this article) of the FCEUX NES emulator compared to other emulators or hardware. In essence, this NES ROM knows it is being played on FCEUX 2.3.0 through 2.6.6 or not, which means the choice to use FCEUX 2.3.0 through 2.6.6 or not can be used as a user input. Expanding on my work on "Concealing ZIP Files in NES Cartridges" from the International Journal of "Proof of Concept or GTFO" (PoC||GTFO) issue 0x18 article 4, in order for this proof-of-concept to work, I create an NES ROM that is also a valid ZIP file, which when extracted, produces another NES ROM. Thanks to features of DEFLATE compression (RFC 1951) used for ZIP files, I am able to share/reuse the vast majority of data between the NES file that is also a ZIP file and the extracted NES ROM.
