Hi all,

you may have stumbled upon https://adventofcode.com , which is an advent calendar containing different kinds of programming puzzles.

This December I got a crazy idea to try to do those puzzles on this old 1990 PC that I have been restoring for the past few years, using my first compiler, Borland Turbo C++ 3.0. It has been a fantastic and wacky experience, and I feel so sad about the month coming to an end.

If you're interested, I did a writeup article of my experience around this challenge at http://clb.confined.space/aoc2022/ 😀

Merry Christmas to the Vogon community, and I'll catch you next year. (2023 is going to be absolutely huge I tell you, stay tuned!)
