I made a video, as I occasionally do. This one is about the world of email before we all started using Internet email, in particular company group mail. youtu.be/czpiHZPyxLU

We're going to do it all over again! Very excited to announce RetroFest 2026 to be held at Swindon's STEAM museum on the 30th/31st May. If you'd like to exhibit, just full in the form - and if you'd like to come, why not buy a ticket! They also make wonderful Christmas presents :) - retrofest.uk

Next week many of us will all be at CFCH in Cambridge, looking forwards to seeing lots of you there. Apparently however they are almost out of tickets, so if you don't have one yet and you fancy going it might be a good to buy one.

Only 2 weeks to go until many of us will be in Cambridge talking about old games and the machines that ran them. For me I'll be spending most the weekend talking about one of the earliest beginnings of computer games, and you thought mainframes where all about business.

This video has taken a long time for me to put together. However I think it might be the first time a Kubernetes cluster has been used to provide file/print services to a BBC micro using Econet. youtu.be/-Hs55amrFW0?...

Creating a new NetwareVM has proved a little bit more tricky than initially I hoped. I wanted todo a fresh install of Netware 6.5 as I wanted to see what the last version of netware was like. However it's an awkward OS driver wise, as it support some more modern hardware, but 3rd party vendors where

It's just two months to go to the Retro Computer Computer Festival! Expect to see micros and consoles from the 70s, 80s and 90s running the very best of vintage and modern games. Tickets are selling fast, so grab yours here - www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/74558/re...

It seems there's a new thing on YouTube where you can hype any video withing 7 days of it's release, so if you wouldn't mind giving it a try on my last video it might help me out and please share, cheers #RetroComputing youtu.be/T_zFVDuRcIM

Exciting things happening in the world of pdp.

A new book about the PiDP-10, and what you can do with it. www.qsl.net/zl3dw/PiDP-1...

Just finished my final calling gig as part of Whitby Folk Week, I am wiped out, but very happy. I've had a great set of bands I got to work with, Out of Hand, Banter, and Tenpenny bit, all putting in great performances. The fact we ended on a 48bar jib version of the NextGen theme made me v happy.

Great first night in whtiby, ready enjoyed tonight ceilidh, really looking forward to tomorrow night's gig.

An incredible video from Matt, it makes you appreciate the effort that went in to making somthing we saw as a relatively cheap commodity item at the time.

After 6 months of updates, the new Retro.Directory 2.0 is now live packed with loads of exciting updates, features and improvements... youtu.be/85RFeX76Hv8

Look, I know. It's a difficult time, finances aren't great, multiple shiny retro products have popped up. Maybe you're a huge AI fan and don't want to fund a film that takes a bit of a swipe against it? But hey, help us get #InTheAlgorithmWeTrust made www.indiegogo.com/projects/in-... #Film

We all know about cisco & many of us have probably been told its origin story. About how a husband & wife team invented the router while at Stanford, then started cisco. The only problem is thats not entirely what happened, it's more a tail of intellectual property theft youtu.be/NXTdwzjiW7E?...

I can't think of a better team to make this film. If you've not seen their short film, control (m.imdb.com/title/tt1416...), go check it out. Then I suspect you may want to help them make thier new film, I did.

This is one to tick off the "Well I never thought that would happen" list.

I'm currently crowdfunding for our new sci-fi short, In the Algorithm we trust. We're 18% there with 20 days left and have several early bird perks left. Indie film needs your help, please share #InTheAlgorithmWeTrust #Film #Sci-Fi #Crowdfunding #plsShare www.indiegogo.com/projects/in-...

Congratulations to @morefunmakingit.bsky.social for making us look almost human! This video tells you everything you need to know about who, what and why we are! youtu.be/1tB6czmZBng?...

It my attempt to document all the failings of Intel, it's time to talk about Intel's attemp to make a general purpose RISC cpu. It did not go well. youtu.be/WTkFGZqVCM8

Have you ever what role Pirates played in the UK's computer history? This video might well me your cup of tea.

While I was at retro-fest this weekend (which apparently I forgot to take photos of), I released a video youtu.be/Ut9nErQHOvI?... and completely forgot to post about it, as I was having too much fun talking to people at retro-fest.

A wet and windy bank holiday treat - Celebrating My 100th Video! Some truly amazing fellow Retro Computing YouTubers have contributed to this video, answering my question, “What would you code?”. You don’t want to miss this. 😁 youtu.be/uPK6acC56gY #amiga #retrocomputing #zxspectrum #videogames

It's Sunday! It's podcast time! It's the third item in this list! @rosetintedspectrum.bsky.social and I discuss things and what the connection is between the ZX Spectrum and a man dressed as a bear

Which podcast am I listening to !!!!!

So I love videos about ecoent, I love vidoes by Colin. I'm sure you can all guess how I feel about this video!!!!

I've been interested in MiSTer for a while, but buying mutliple parts from meant I never got over the initial hurdle of buying all the bits. My procrastination has paid off & someone has made an all in one version you can just buy & I have. Lee has got hold of one to try youtu.be/UVx08a-dZRY?...

While the Education Team were away last weekend, our Acorn Team made some essential upgrades 🔧 All of our classroom BBC Micros can now play Mark Moxon’s Econet Scoreboard Elite! Just in time for our upcoming Econet LAN Party! Book your ticket ➡️ buff.ly/BwJDTsE

As a small reminder RetroFest is this month, so get your tickets while you still can. I'm going to be there along with many of the retofest regulars, and a number of retro Youtubers who's faces you might actually recognise.

I am abosulty loving this podcast. You have Lee hosting, who is always worth watching. He also has fantastic guests on, this week, unsurprisingly, is no exception.

It's time for another video! Get updates on the exhibitors, find out how many capacitors there were in that jar and see what happens when @petescircuit.bsky.social goes out to meet the public ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l4O...

It's @yawning-angel.bsky.social Keith guesting on this week's More Fun Talking Retro podcast! youtu.be/tHih5i2WogY

The Internet and the web seem to almost be synonymous in people's head. However, the web was just one of the early technologies that could have been the thing that made the public aware of the Internet. One that nearly was is gopher. youtu.be/b4aApVkvrNU?...

Well folks, we have an official release date now! 24th June! If you like your games narrative and choice driven, with silly humour, robot arms and undercuts, then maybe this is for you 😊 store.steampowered.com/app/3100650/... youtu.be/nVw_9ok7ktM

Some of you may have heard me mention Pete in the occasional video or two (or just know him anyway). He's on Lee's new podcast talking about a few things including Retrofest 2025. youtu.be/V2OnR6ZeW64?...

I was annoyed. This is what happens when I'm annoyed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFPm...

I've spent the last few months putting this one together, it's been the most fascinating of rabbit holes. The PDP-10 may not be the best know of mainframes, but it's been hugely influential on the world of computing we have now. youtu.be/ybO6bPcRmlY

Is it possible to have too much of a good thing? Of course not! We think it's time for some more updates on who's coming to RetroFest ... retrofest.uk youtu.be/E8f2hwobJKo?...

Heads up! bsky.app/profile/crg-... CRG Glen has finally made it here!

Mostly I get to post about retro computers, but last weekend I got to call for the Saturday night ceilidh at IVFDF, and I had a fantastic night. My Saturday nights are just not normal that good. Thanks to Mellrose, and all those who took part.

To all you YouTubers and particularly the Big Red Arrow Club... youtu.be/THUADgyaLJU

Next Friday, the playing field is levelled.

Okay, the Dragon is ready for RetroFest ... but are you? 😀 retrofest.uk
