Ceylon Development Log — September 19, 2026: The Controller Was Ready. It Still Wouldn’t Run.
Today I submitted Project Ceylon to the Hackaday Retrocomputing Contest.

Ceylon Development Log — September 16, 2026: Static Foundations, Dynamic Systems
Ceylon is learning how to become dynamic without abandoning a static, bounded and predictable foundation: leased execution workers, mirrored VSpace cohorts, bounded page…
Ceylon Development Log — September 15, 2026: Locking the Baseline Before Moving Forward
A day spent proving the new low-level foundation: DMA and interrupt isolation, multicore FPU safety, runtime boundaries, and an integrated harness that learned to trust…
Ceylon Development Log — September 14, 2026: Strengthening the Foundation
A long day of audit closure and microkernel migration work froze a reproducible Ceylon baseline and advanced the new foundation to the B0 validation gate.
Project Ceylon: Keeping the Architecture, Rebuilding the Assumptions
Project Ceylon keeps the architectural ideas that made the Amiga compelling while rebuilding the assumptions underneath them for modern hardware.
The Backstory Is Live. Tomorrow, Y'all Get the Mess as It Happens.
The retrospective is caught up. From here forward, Project Ceylon becomes a real-time record of the work, wrong turns, breakthroughs, and whatever happens next.
Why a Modern Amiga Needed a Secure Multicore Microkernel
The display failure was a symptom. The actual disease was an architecture with no real boundaries between components. The fix was moving to a security-certified…
