This is one of those brilliant ideas I wish I'd had - what if you crossed Nebulus with Chuckie Egg. Perfectly executed by @snuggsy187.bsky.social who has worked wonders developing this for the Acorn Electron (the lower powered sibling of the BBC Micro). It's a long thread, yet well worth the read.

Ringwood XXXX porter used to be a great Christmas treat, until covid, and then Carlsberg destroyed the brewery. One of the best beers ever. Here a 2018 vintage is about to become the ale in a steak and ale pie.🤤

Odd phone call; Some old guy phoning me back as he’d had a missed call from my number… checked I hadn’t butt dialled him, and no, phone has never rang that number. Have the spambots spoofed my number? I’d always assumed they used unassigned numbers? 🧐🤔

Used a Fax machine?!? I'm probably the only person in the world who ever tried to build a web browser INTO a fax machine! 18 (never had AOL, or a waterbed)

We're super excited to be returning to the Bagpuss Universe for Yaffle Origins. As mega fans of the Oliver Postbox multiverse, we always dreamed of telling the story of Assistant Professor Yaffle getting his first pair of glasses or whatever. Join us on this barren sphere, in this living death.

Book nerds, this is most awesome! A visualisation of the ISBN space, including 99,959,000 books 😵 It's searchable and zoomable, like a mandelbrot generator. https://annas-archive.li/isbn-visualization/?

🧵Teaching Students NOT to use AI So...I've tried to explain to my students why they aren't allowed to use genAI in MY class (even though the university seems to be encouraging them to) I've written this document to try to explain WHY it's a bad idea rather than just forbidden fruit. #AI #genAI

I was working on my TimAllensBigSupernaturals code to improve it to the point I can run entire movies/episodes through it, and this early test of decode->reencode functionality ran into a minor glitch. See if you can spot it in this clip from Amok Time!

I've been nominated for the Great Outdoors Awards campaigner of the year for my work on #SlowWays. The award is for "campaigns or campaigners who who stand up, speak out and act on the issues that matter to walkers". I'd love your support. Please vote > www.thegreatoutdoorsmag.com/news/the-gre...

Any help with continuing to spread the word about this appreciated! If you’ve received your copy & like it then it’s totally OK to post pics as long as you don’t show entire listings, and I’d love to get the attention of more retro computing communities etc

Nice to see climate change denial is alive and well on Channel 5 #JeremyVine. One old duffer actually said with a straight face that it can't be happening as it was so cold last week! 🙄

Hello I am Chloe I’m an artist, I sell my original work online. I realise not everyone can afford art but if you like my work perhaps share these kinds of posts, it helps me. There are a few different galleries to browse on my website. www.chloecumming.com

Interesting bug came up, caused by two external changes conspiring against the app. The app, TrigFindAR, lets users view OS Benchmark details on the popular BMD website, and the bug report was that /some/ just display briefly then go to a blank page. /1

If you have any good memories of typing out lines of code from a magazine, you should buy Doctype to relive them. If you have any bad memories, buy Doctype to distract you from them. Either way, you can enjoy my silly conga game. vole.wtf/doctype/
