🇸🇲 Sheila applies in San Marino Song Contest 2026
Sheila from Albania’s Festivali i Këngës has been confirmed as one of the competitors in the upcoming San Marino Song Contest 2026! Who is Sheila? Sheila gained attention in the national song contest Festivali i Këngës, where she competed with her energetic performance and commanding vocal presence. Her inclusion in San Marino Song Contest highlights the increasing international flavour of San Marino’s selection process, which has occasionally welcomed foreign artists in the past.

I'm interested in it because it's used with the Dynix Automated Library System, used by a ton of libraries in the 80s and 90s. It's currently not available in any form (but I'm working on it)

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

The Hope Dolphin was a licensed BBC Micro launched in India around 1989 and until recently only one example was known in the UK, at the Centre for Computing History. This was in very poor, non-working condition. However, a new one has been acquired by a UK collector.

Neptune revision 1.4 has just been released, including the "region flicker" fix and some BOM updates/corrections. This one was a real team effort, so thanks to all who contributed!

Release r1.4 · Board-Folk/Neptune
Fix for the "region flicker" issue due to region/version register instability (issue #3, dr-goobur) BOM correction: C12 and C14 were listed as 1uF, should be 1nF. This avoids some edge case issues ...

As there isn't one already I've decided to try to create a bare metal diagnostic ROM for the Sinclair QL which replaces the system ROMs. Should work with minimally working system, output via serial and video. So far initial memory tests on base 128K done.

He’s not even wrong, every time some smartass has tried to fix cobol code by rewriting it in something else here in Denmark it has usually lead to very costly failures. Mainly just from the accumulated complexity of the cobol code still running

BBC Compact Master Repo Board works 😄 My original board i stripped as it wasn’t working. All the IC chips tested good, so either it was bad resistors/caps or sockets. Some of the components disintegrated when removing.
