About me

Hi, as you may have guessed by looking at the names of some of my projects, my name is Néstor; but I'm known in the interwebs as Konamiman. I've been a MSX user interruptedly since 1986, I was a member of Asociación de Amigos del MSX in the 1990s (while I was living in Barcelona), and the MSX is to this day still my main hobby. I currently work as Automattic as a web developer.

About my work

I love to develop stuff for MSX and also to indirectly support MSX development by creating supporting tools for modern machines. Most of my repositories are in this line, like:

...and more.

How will sponsorships help me?

I'll be honest: sponsorships will only marginally help me in my neverending pursuit of some scraps of free time to dedicate to MSX development ("See, honey? All the time I spend on that MSX thing isn't completely wasted after all, I'm earning moniez!"); also all of my work is in the open and I don't produce physical stuff, so there's not much I can offer in terms of rewards. So think of your sponsorship as pretty much a donation/thank you/morale boost for me.

That said, I have created a few (random-ish) sponsorship tiers based on exclusive email communications and adding your name/logo/link on my projects and web site. Don't expect a ton of exposure as I'm not really famous outside of the MSX world, so think of these as a small bonus/thank you gift for your support.

⚠️I don't think anyone outside the retrocomputing world will be interested in sponsoring me (if anyone at all is ever interested, that is), but just in case, I want to make it clear that:

  • I can't get sponsored by a company or project that can be considered as competition of my current employer, Automattic.
  • I don't want to be sponsored by any company or project related to cryptocurrencies, NFTs, or blockchain stuff.

If in doubt, please contact me.
