Airtop is simply awesome. If you've tried web-scraping or web actors before and threw your hands up in horror at the complexity ... well things have changed now for sure!

Top tip - avoid Smooth Radio if you don't want an early trip to Whamhalla. Their tiny playlist includes Last Christmas so any listen is like playing Russian Roulette.

8 years later, studying Computer Science at university, we built a PDP8 CPU from discrete TTL logic chips on wire-wrap boards.

That's when I first realised just how fast the computer biz was going to develop.

It was real magnetic cores. I opened up the back once to take a look (when no teachers were about!).

"Age yourself with your first computer"

OK, not strictly mine, but the first one I used - our school computer in 1974 was a DECsystem 310 - a PDP-8a with 8K of magnetic core and *two* 8" floppy disk drives each holding about 180K.

In the well to the right was a VT52 terminal.

Superb! I've always been fascinated by looking down on a fog-filled valley.

A man runs through the streets of Ottery St. Mary with a flaming tar barrel on his back. Another man, with soot on his face, waves his burning sack-cloth glove to try an extinguish the flames. Sparks fly into the night sky.

#5 - Tar Barrels at Ottery St. Mary, Devon, UK

Maybe the craziest, least H&S and most fun event ever! A packed village sees teams running through the streets with flaming tar barrels held aloft.

I was about 3 feet away with a wide-angle lens and felt the searing heat!

Charles Bridge at night. The moon is high in the sky filtered by thin clouds. The buildings are illuminated by warm, yellow light, contrasting with the deep blue of the night sky.

What media works? CD, QIC tape, 3.5" or 5.25" floppies? (Floppies to be avoided if possible)

I'll see if I can dig you up the copy of SCO UNIX then. I have contacts with the old SCO crew.

All of them! I was still at SCO at the time.

0 - vi, using hjkl rather than arrow keys.

Been using it since 1983 and don't see why I should start learning something new now!

That's something the app developer (in this case, Startintegrate) specifies. You'd be best reaching out to their support desk.

Evernote only has an API key auth method. They seem to have built their own integration to Zapier so you can authenticate the other way around.

Zapier is often used just to add 1:1 integrations, so that makes sense.

Make workflows are usually more complex - 10 or more apps is common.

Overview of error handling in Make

503 is an error from the API endpoint (ie Bluesky) meaning that the service is temporarily unavailable.

I'm guessing it's as a result of the dramatic recent growth.

Make has robust features for error handling which can allow your scenario to automatically retry: www.make.com/en/help/erro...

One thought - are you using a PDS or are you on bsky.social?

Agreed. I'll talk with the team about this tomorrow - but it could be a few weeks before anything happens as resources will already be committed. In the meantime, it should be possible using the HTTP app if you're familiar with the API.

Oh, there's a Cornwall in Ontario. I'm doubly blessed - Bluesky has taught me something new, and there's STILL no Cybertrucks in the UK!
