Project Ceylon Development Log — October 1, 2026: The Mouse Moved, Asteroids Is Real, and the Hardware Stopped Sitting Still
Today was one of those days where several things that had been "almost there" finally became a lot more concrete.
QEMU
Project Ceylon Development Log — September 29, 2026: The Website Is Real. So Is the Next Display Bug.
Yesterday I wrote that Project Ceylon finally had a front door.
Project Ceylon Development Log — September 24, 2026: 55 Out of 55 Passed. Then We Found the Test Was Wrong.
Yesterday I wrote that "worked once" is no longer one of our engineering states.
Project Ceylon Development Log — September 23, 2026: So, How Much of This Thing Actually Exists?
A little over two weeks ago, I started this journal with a fairly ridiculous question:
Project Ceylon Development Log — September 21, 2026: Turning a Working System Into a Trustworthy One
Today was one of those days where Project Ceylon kept answering one question with another.
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.
