I had a feeling that might be it. He had his proper name on the final page, at least.

NEW UPDATE ALERT Here's the full 1994 edition @jamienemeth.bsky.social found with Smokin' Glenn Miller, plus a re-do of an incomplete '99 edition. All the thanks to Jamie, and to @andrewisaround.bsky.social & @zxguesser.bsky.social for their help. @mrbiffo.bsky.social

Deadline extended to (about) July on this project... some wonderful submissions so far! #teletext #pixelart #callforentries

You did, you did! Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw it, I had to check a couple of times before it sank in! Congrats, Jamie! This is one I’m especially happy to have because it’s another footnote in the Digi/EMAP rivalry. Thanks for allowing us to see this again 🥳

See CVG, see? Mag Monkey concludes. Was he Smilin' or Smokin' Glenn Miller @mrbiffo.bsky.social?

Thanks to @andrewisaround.bsky.social and @jamienemeth.bsky.social for bringing us this delight. Full edition coming soon to an update near you.

GRAIL: FOUND! It's January 1994 and Digi roll out the first edition of a new feature, Mag Monkey, where Smokin' Glenn Miller reviews a different games mag each month. This time: CVG.

THE FORBIDDEN TOPIC HAS BEEN MENTIONED

There is something wonderfully Digitiser-esque about this piece

I was on board after the first few lines, but the “Do you see?” near the end sealed it 🎂

Video yesterday. Podcast today. It's probably the best Easter you've ever had. This week's Bubblegun features an exclusive interview with Tony Harris - who's finally going back to the Moon! Available everywhere. open.spotify.com/episode/2Ly9...

And if you want to help fund this ridiculous folly of a project, then: you can! Please do, in fact! All contributions v v welcome and appreciated.

Very fruitful trip to visit the Tape Mountain today! Another 6 boxes sorted through, and now 4 full boxes of pure Digi ready to go to the next recovery heroes that want them. 12 boxes down, 34 to go. Aiming to have them all processed by the time the clocks change again🤞Want a box? Drop me a message!

Another quick visit to sort through the storage unit yielded two full boxes of pure Digi ready to go from the Tape Mountain. Planning a much longer visit on Saturday, so will hopefully start making some good headway going through the remaining 40-odd boxes…!

If you'd like to help support the site so that more nonsense like this can be found and shared, then please do donate to the Super Page 58 VHS storage fund. All donations are incredibly gratefully received.

Cheers Jamie, just saw this come through! Really means a lot, especially sharing the link. I’m heading to the storage unit for another dig tonight, as it happens 😁

My first proper job! Those regions effectively still exist in the electricity transmission networks, and the underlying system that governs changing supplier.

I for one believe the citizenry of Harrow should petition the local council to exactly that effect. Especially if it’s positioned directly in view of the big posh school.

I know someone who did @mrbiffo.bsky.social

Article headlined: "If you want to know the time ask the TV Oracle". Image: a screencap of Phil Daniels in Four Idle Hands, with an Oracle screen set to 'mix' in, displaying traffic news.

BEDTIME READING: From the TV Times dated 29 May 1976, an article introducing Britain to Oracle. "The BBC has a similar, but less capacious, system called Ceefax." Ouch.

Oh no, RIP mouldy tape. Happens more than you’d think. Apparently if you run the tape occasionally that prevents build up, but who’s doing that these days?!

A pleasure as ever, Treacle. Glad you enjoyed them, only a couple of editions, but they packed a punch.

That diary's from '98, so a few years after we first met Daddy - but if this is how his son behaved towards him, then no wonder he needed a stay in a mental hospital www.superpage58.com/digitiser-ma...
