BBC News - Tech Know: BBC Micros used in retro programming class
“Unforgiving interface”?! Acorn DFS. That’s the disk file system version, cassette tape was unforgiving!
I love the clip from Micro Live - I remember the show all too well, I’d love the BBC put more of it up on iPlayer.
The Most Fun a Grocery Store Ever Had: Super Mario Soda Display
Fabulous. Twenty years ago I was stacking boxes of cakes on pallets for Mr Kipling. Different size boxes had different layouts to be followed to best utilise the pallet space. Everybody else stacked the boxes up layer by layer, but my pallets usually resembled mountain ranges until I dropped the last few boxes into place. The manager who came round every hour to record how many boxes had been packed gave up trying to count my pallets herself after a while.
Nice article explaining how difficult it is to decide whether the variance between results is down to pure chance or not, using hospital death rates as an example.
Door Sixteen » Lily flower rain chain.
I’ve never heard of a rain chain before. What a great alternative to a boring drainpipe! Am trying to think where we could use something like this, we aren’t short on gutters that don’t work very well at our house.
This looks simply amazing! Pity it’s all the way over in Japan, I’d love to visit it.
Adding this to my list of things to do “one Easter”. This year’s Easter list has already been curtailed due to me coming down with the ear infection from hell. Thanks to the wonder of antibiotics I’m now just deaf and dizzy rather than in excruciating pain but think carefully opening eggs is still a bit beyond me for this weekend.
