What do people think of the idea of mirroring my shares on the to automatically? should I do this botlike activity with my primary account or with a secondary, clearly bot, account?

@jepler is the RSS feed of content your personally creating?

@wakest Usually, Newsblur is for sharing articles and posts you find out on the internet in general, not things that you yourself have created.

@kazriko never used newsblur. I was assuming newsblur was their website.

@wakest Yeah, it's like @kazriko says -- is an reader, so I'm talking about sharing links to articles I found interesting, often with a short comment attached. Like @emdeesee said, it's not that different in character from a toot. It maybe amounts to 5-10 shares a day.

@jepler I'm inclined toward a mirroring directly via my account, since it will be (shudder) curated and commented on directly by me. In the most cases, a blurblog posts would resemble a toot, anyway.

"32-Bit Processing For The Vectrex Arcade System" feedproxy.google.com/~r/hackad

sounds neat except for my reflexive PIC-hate

@jepler It might be interesting to put an arm based system attached to that, I wonder what complexities you can do with the vector graphics on one of those. Probably would be really limited regardless of the power of the system.

@kazriko in terms of drawing raw vectors I bet you can't do a whole lot more than the original hardware, but you would be able to do modern fun stuff like full 3d transformations, hidden line removal, and basic rigid body physics. bigger game worlds, obviously. I bet a "trine" demake would be loads of fun, for instance.
