@fuzzweed.co.uk Yeah Iām sure I read somewhere that if itās velocity zero it can (should?) be treated as an immediate note off?
@fuzzweed.co.uk If itās any consolation Iāve definitely run into that before! Sounds like something that would be good to handle anyway?
@fuzzweed.co.uk Woaft.
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Especially upsetting because I did remove the batteries! There must have been some leakage I didnāt spot. It had only crept as far as the solder joint so I think the actual board is perfectly fine. Fixed now; hopefully it keeps going a while longer!
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Phew, I think weāve saved it. Iām looking forward to enjoying Barryās tunes! In the meantime weāve got auld Dario G to keep us going. š

@jimblimey.com This is the way. š«” š»
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Yeah the dev explained a bit about the decision not to on the SC forum, he was keen to focus on 48k-only. The good news is heās already planning a 128K shmup using screen paging multicolour, and AY music too.
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Pure 48k as well, no RAM paging or shadow screen. And itās good fun!
@fuzzweed.co.uk What an honour! š āØ
Itās a very very cool project šš¤
@flatduckrecords.co.uk Jet Set f*****g Willy has a lot to answer for! š
But yeah while the ālol so randomā stuff is fun, itās great to see a singular focused idea come to fruition. Joefish has been working on this for a long time.
@sloanysoft.itch.io No way! Wow. Can confirm it made it as at least as far as Andrew Stewart Halls in my days. š
@sloanysoft.itch.io No, no, that sounds cool. At Stirling we had Air3 Radio, and a couple of my pals did shows just like that. I remember texting in and hearing it on the actual radio! It was a hoot. I regret not getting involved (but probably for the best as Iādāve likely been broadcasting .tap files to no one!)
@sloanysoft.itch.io Hahahah, thatās a belter right enough. What sort of show was it?
@colinhoad.com Maybe itās just caffeine addiction talking but Iāve come to realise that something about the ritual of it appeals to me too. Whether itās loose leaf, a proper pot or a builderās brew dunky bag in a mug. Itās also 3 minutes away from staring at a computer screen too!
@colinhoad.com I always found Lapsang to be A Bit Much to be honest! But Iād be sad if it went away completely. Next time I have a smokey brew Iāll raise a cup for your granny š My grandfather loved a beef tea but I have absolutely NO nostalgia for that!
@colinhoad.com My fave blend is Russian Caravan which (I learned today only some and not all) include a bit of Lapsang, and you just reminded me Iāve run out! Lately Iāve noticed Whittardās is always āout of stockā and now Iām guessing thatās maybe not unrelated. Iāve ordered from Steenbergās (they have L.S. too!)
@fuzzweed.co.uk Itās perfect the way it is āØš
@breakintoprogram.co.uk Ooh yeah, thatās actually closer to what I remember, maybe that was it! I do remember immediately missing the thumb wheel after upgrading. Going back to a directional cursor seems so clunky in comparison, and a touch screen doesnāt have the tactile feedback. It was peak UX!
@breakintoprogram.co.uk Of all the technologies subsumed by the fondleslab, I still lament the demise of the jog wheel.
@samsterdave.bsky.social One of Mattās SAM HDMI units, theyāre great!
@samsterdave.bsky.social On a bit of a whim I got myself one of the Raspberry Pi monitors for transient computing setups (I was in the official Pi Shop anyway so it would have been rude not to!) No doubt there are better options, but it has enabled me to do more Retro, especially handy over Xmas. Great with SAM, Speccy, etc
@jamie-b-b.bsky.social Dunn dah dah lun dah dah lun dah dah lun ā¦ Bonanza! š¤
Iāve still got a few of my dadās old Bert Kaempfert tapes, and better yet only some of them were recorded-over with Spectrum programs! š
