Well this has come on leaps and bounds. My new Archimedes Groovebox sequencer. Thanks Nero/Tony for RDSP. I finally got it installed. So we can play back WAVS on the Archimedes. I also got RISC OS 5 running eventually. Look at this! It needs work but wow already. I never wrote an Archimedes prog b4!

So the new Rolling Stones album is out. What is your favourite track on the album? I'm just starting to listen to it. Even though they have loads of money in the bank they still want to release a good album so I guess they are nervous about the reception www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow50...

Getting a bit further with this now! I've got some music coming out! The question is how far can I push it. The Archimedes sound chip is quite basic. How did Coconizer with PCM samples do it I wonder? It used a few tricks. I need to try and stop the stuttering. Still it's impressive for a first go!

I was talking to a neighbour about Claude and how it seems to be getting more expensive. I wonder how long it will be before they get us really hooked and dependent on it then whoosh the price goes up. I do hope A.I comes down so everyone can use it. They will need to solve these energy issues......

Happy 87th Birthday Mavis Staples ❤️ (July 10, 1939)

Working on an Archimedes music sequencer. Getting slow redraw issues so we shall see what to do about that. Maybe if I take it to RPC Emu. This is really amazing. I would have given anything to have this A.I back in the day. Imagine how much software could have been written for the Archimedes.

A.I is getting more exciting. I'm experimenting writing Archimedes in BBC Basic V and Arm Assembly. The way you can paste your code into an online archimedes as well...so cool. It means being able to possibly build new RISC OS apps. How cool would that be. Here's a simple3d editor I'm working on

This page impressed me. When you want a download for a device - list it like this. Clear and easy to use. Compared to some other sites....where you are hunting for a download button

I remember the hot summer of 76. Just about. It's funny how you remember very small details when young. Like the colour of my parent's mint blanket - and the texture. Texture and colour are so important to us and our memories. A year later I went and saw Star Wars and I remember that! Happy days.

Ok I take back nanny state warning 🤣 35c and my trashcan pro mac is like the fires of hell I would give anything to be in Finland in winter right now For some reason it feels warmer that the last time. It is silent outside. I saw one crow and that looked so knackered with it's mouth open

I think on reflection I would rather be freezing my knackers off and be in the gloom of winter than this. We are all sleep starved now

David Daker ....a familiar actor just passed away. He seemed to be on everything in the 80s and was very recognisable....RIP youtu.be/lBtSCOaMME4?...

Little A.I-corns

Anthony Burgess was an interesting guy. His first wife was beaten up by four American soldiers and mugged for her wedding ring and then died later. Then in 1959 he was told he had 1 year to live with a brain tumour and with no money so wrote five novels / Clockwork orange. Life's twists and turns

Some images stay with you for life. Us Acorn guys will remember these. I was browsing through them today from the archives. Most of them are Mode 1 (4 colours). They had a real impact on a 13 year old. Even today. Here's a few of them from the Acorn User archives. Wonderful stuff even to this day.

Ah it's nice and toasty in my room now with it being over 30c and my mac pro trashcan burning hot. The fan is pushing warm air. Last night the water in my water bottle felt like warm water on my hands. I can't wait until it gets to 40c.

heheh this was sooooo worth working out

Two-player #BBCMicro Elite will be a deep-space dogfight game The rest of Elite wouldn’t be that exciting with two players, so I’m sticking to the core combat experience When you fire it up, you can choose what kind of contest you want Here's the all-new config screen 🚀 Game on! #retrocomputing

Remember this? Look at my reply. A.I is sure getting amazing beyond belief. How could it do it?

Back in 85 this was my favourite music sequencer. 'The Island Logic Music Systen'. I always wanted to bring it back from the dead. This morning I fed the disk to Claude A.I. 25 quid later...... This shows you how incredible A.I is becoming.😳😳

Let the Acorn floodgates open!

It's difficult to even put into words how utterly amazing this is. Lighting has struck! I finally have Illusionist working with A.I To have reversed engineered this is a miracle. I never thought I'd crack it. So much trial an error! We are living in amazing and incredible times. AI is opening doors

Wow My experiments with A.I + a bit me is starting to bear some very nice fruit indeed all in bbc micro format of course

Why are the papers constantly blasted with front page headlines of the Beckhams all the time? Brooklyn Beckham? Why is he front page headlines?????

Some things on youtube should be banned. 'Hi guys hit me up on the like and subscribe'. Also I can't stand that 'Is anyone here in 2026?' in the comments. Arrgh!!!

I knew that hole in my trashcan Mac Pro could be used for something. A perfect fake plant holder. I love it when a plan comes together! Let's hope it doesn't melt eh

Rest in Peace David! I hope that Quantel up there is giving you pleasure or you are on to your next thing already. A true rebel!

I hope I am still going like David Hockney did constantly exploring and trying new things out. He was a funny guy! Well loved. One of a kind. Who remembers his 'Busy Bodies' badge as he lit a fag. The best of the Brits. RIP David. You certainly made your mark!

As soon as I saw the trailer for Disclosure Day I thought ' that looks pants '. All that car chase stuff with Netflix type big music behind it. It looked cheap and boring. Now the reviews are in and they haven't been kind. How does a film get through being made and being so bad?

Weird. I just bought this dirt cheap monitor off Amazon with a big resolution! It's 3:2 though. What an odd aspect ratio! Not sure what to do with this. It's quite tall and the text is a bit too tall and thin! No amount of playing is doing it.
