I've been working on a personal project for some time now called PiStudio.It's a new development environment that runs on a Raspberry Pi and connects to an Amstrad CPC through the CPC-CPLINK from Revaldinho. PiStudio transforms the CPC into a development workstation where you can code, compile, debug, manage files, and explore/maintain Git repositories, all directly from the CPC's keyboard and…
Like every December for the past three years, it has become a small ritual for me to write about what I have been doing with my Amstrad CPC/Plus hobby during the year.

Instead, it's an annual overview of my activities around my favorite hobby: the Amstrad CPC/Plus. I'm…
J'ai eu l'occasion de m'entretenir avec Nicolas "Dr JVTek" PERRET pour discuter de mon parcours professionnel dans l'industrie du jeu vidéo. J'ai aussi pu aborder mon hobby qui est la programmation pour les machines Amstrad CPC et GX-4000. [...]

Since it's mid-December 2023, I think it's a good time to look back and see what I have done this year.Now that I have moved into my new home and that I'm fully installed, I decided to invest massively into my hobby (for the long term).
