The future is fleeting, the present is ephemeral, but the past is forever.

dmx (aka. dmx87)

Welcome to my hypertext page! I'm a geezer living in Oslo, Norway. I grew up with the C64 and Amiga microcomputers, except I missed the memo on growing up. Retro gaming, coding, reverse-engineering, hacking, music + sfx on vintage-, retro- and contemporary systems are some activities that keeps me relatively sane.

Latest update: 2025-05-13: ROF2, some tweaks here and there.
