FAQ: What’s a @KevlinHenney? In the name of failure

FAQ: What’s a @KevlinHenney?

New on the blog: Some explanation and history if you've ever wondered why many people who post software failure images also tag me or evoke my name

A photograph of woven tapestry of the silicon chip layout of a MOS 6502 microprocessor, enlarged to approximately 1.8 metres wide and 1.2 metres high hanging on a wall in a golden frame.

My most interesting contribution to computing is perhaps this woven tapestry of a MOS 6502 microprocessor which I commissioned and for which I built the golden frame. It’s almost two metres wide and hangs on the wall in a colleague’s office to improve the acoustics.

About OPM (opm-project.org), and in particular OPM Flow. I have followed this project for 10+ years. First because it is a wonderful C++ open source project, now because it is a very promising CO2 storage simulator. #isocpp #opm #ccs #co2
