My latest book is about more than the making of Age of Empires. It's a story of brothers, camaraderie, innovation, and dreams—the cost of chasing them, the passion that drives them, and the joy when they come true. Available for preorder from @bossfightbooks.com

You making this public ? (And still no code manually written?). Damn cool (and scary).
@danwood.bsky.social heads up, just noticed your bluesky link on your videos (at least the C64 ultimate one) is incorrect.
So Menulog is shutting down in Aus in 6 days... but here they're telling me that I have free delivery until Feb 4th. Someone's taking the piss...

Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more:

I can feel myself turning to dust just reading this. Not only do I STILL remember a bunch of phone numbers from my childhood, I remember that my Dad would use the *letter* variation for the first two digits, rather than numbers. Our home number started with "AR1" rather than 271.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?
If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
![Screenshot of text from the interview:
You’ve always been an incredibly physical performer: your strut during “Sweet Transvestite” in “Rocky Horror,” or the way you run around unfurling the mystery at the end of “Clue.” Do you still feel that in your body? Does that live somewhere in you still?
I think it does, but it’s angry. My mobility is angry to get out. But it’s not happened yet. I do a certain amount of physical therapy. I did a whole bunch of it at Cedars-Sinai, and I got very close, I think, to walking. That was tantalizing. For insurance reasons, I had to withdraw. And I have a visiting physical therapist now, but I can only really do exercises from my bed, which is pretty pathetic. It’s not going to get me walking, I don’t believe.

Enjoyed the New Yorker interview with Tim Curry, a free-wheeling conversation in which there were several sensitive questions about his paralyzing stroke. But oh my goodness, why was there no follow-up at all to this staggering answer? www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
This video has taken a long time for me to put together. However I think it might be the first time a Kubernetes cluster has been used to provide file/print services to a BBC micro using Econet. youtu.be/-Hs55amrFW0?...
