HELL O WORLD
- 👋 Hi, I’m @FlyingFathead
- 👀 I’m interested in Neural Networks.
- 🌱 I’m currently learning lessons in futility.
- 💞️ I’m looking to collaborate on watching pain dry.
- 📫 How to reach me ... by smoke signals from the server room.
AI/ML developer, sysadmin, audiovisual tinkerer, retrocomputing enthusiast and technical writer.
I have been building the Finnish FennoGPT language model since 2020 and founded the ChatKeke framework in 2023. AI and neural-network work are central to my field, but I also build retrocomputing tools, statistical simulations, audiovisual software, games, graphics experiments, server automation and whatever other technical debris happens to accumulate.
Python is my usual go-to, alongside Bash and JavaScript, with C and QuakeC now in the mix through AmiWind. The Commodore 64 and Commodore Amiga are particular sources of enthusiasm, from 6502/6510 assembly on the C64 to Motorola 68k (m68k) assembly on the Amiga.

AmiWind is an experimental The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind demake for the Commodore Amiga, combining a local asset-conversion pipeline with a native Amiga runtime.
Balmora bridge · v0.0.24 |
Seyda Neen sunset · v0.0.28 |
Python host tools convert the original game's maps, textures, models and audio into Amiga-friendly data. The accelerated AGA runtime draws on Quake/AmiQuake, with C and QuakeC doing their part in this entirely reasonable undertaking.
The growing playable world includes Seyda Neen and Balmora, character creation, map and journal interfaces, foliage, day/night skies and torchlight. Much of the original game's gameplay remains unfinished; this is a work in progress, not a complete Morrowind replacement.
Bring your own Morrowind game data. Original game assets and Amiga ROMs are not included in the public source package. The screenshots above show the Amiga runtime in emulation.
The prophecy said nothing about the frame rate.

SIDpulse Tracker is a Python/pygame-ce desktop music tracker for the Commodore 64 SID, inspired by the workflow, keyboard feel and pattern-editing philosophy of Impulse Tracker and Schism Tracker.
Autumn at Five: F5 playback with all three SID voice scopes.
The SID is the synthesizer, not an afterthought: three hardware voices, ADSR envelopes, pulse-width control, waveforms, filters, synchronization, ring modulation and tracker-style tables, with native 6581/8580 emulation while composing.
Save editable .sidpulse projects, export PSID .sid music or runnable C64 .prg programs, and render tracks to WAV or MP3. PCM sample tools and sample-to-SID wavetable synthesis are also included.
Preserve Impulse Tracker / Schism Tracker muscle memory while making the SID the actual synthesizer underneath.

c64-3d-toolkit is a host-assisted 3D compiler and runtime for the Commodore 64, taking OBJ/SVG geometry and Blender-authored scenes from a modern machine to runnable C64 programs and cartridge images.
The host handles geometry processing, animation preparation and hidden-line visibility, then generates 6502/6510 assembly and precomputed runtime data. The command-line pipeline is the primary interface, with wireframe and shaded output, procedural meshes, VICE integration and multiple rendering strategies.
The general philosophy is to make the modern machine do the expensive work beforehand so the C64 has less suffering left to perform at runtime.
