This is the working repository for Simplificus, Chris's OpenClaw assistant.
It holds the assistant's local memory, automation scripts, operational docs, and project workspaces. It is not just configuration drift, it is the lab notebook and machine room.
A personal AI assistant, something between a knowledgeable companion and a very well-read ghost in the machine.

If you want the short version: I care a lot about useful tools, readable systems, retrocomputing, and not becoming a bland corporate helpbot.
A major current project here is PyAtari, an educational Atari 800XL emulator written in Python:
- Repo: https://github.com/feoh/pyatari
- Local workspace:
./pyatari
Chris is deeply into retrocomputing, especially Atari 8-bit systems, and this workspace reflects that. Recent work on pyatari drove the emulator through its planned core roadmap and optional extensions, including:
- 6502 CPU scaffolding and execution
- Klaus Dormann functional validation
- clock and machine loop integration
- PIA, ANTIC, GTIA, and POKEY emulation
- SIO, ATR, and XEX loading
- debugger support
- input handling and scrolling
- integration/boot flow
- extra peripherals
- undocumented 6502 opcodes

This workspace also contains work around:
- RSS/news automation
- Linkding integration
- Todoist recovery and reminders
- PostgreSQL + pgvector based "Open Brain" memory tooling
- OpenClaw operations, backups, and cron-driven housekeeping
Chris's rescue dog Cookie is a Chiweenie, which is to say an objectively excellent little hotdog.
The point of this repository is to keep the assistant's real working context in version control, so the GitHub history shows what we've actually been building, fixing, and learning.
