This whole series is a must read for anyone who lived through the 8-bit home computer era or wants to know what life was like in a fledgling industry that’s now worth billions. #RetroGaming
Anyone going to #emfcamp who has a spare set of MFM harddrive cables they are willing to sell me? #retrocomputing

Counting forward and backward! Yay!
That'd be NanoBeast then. ;)
It never occurred to me anyone would be mad enough to want to build it from scratch.
Another day, another change to the Royal Mail Click & Drop portal. Consistency is obviously too much to ask for. Sigh.
At least they have dropped the requirement to know what's in the package and if the UK address being shipped to is a business or not.

I wonder how awful it'd be to to make an all SMD version of the #rc2014, and release it as a (challenging) joke.
Following recent disruptions at Tindie, 129 stores migrated to Lectronz. Here's what the data reveals: 956 orders, 31 countries, and why many makers decided to stay.

Hasn't had much coverage, but David Potter, founder and CEO of Psion, died yesterday. One of the patron saints of alt.fan.pratchett in its early years.
I don't want to cause trouble, or put anybody out, but I'm not quite on schedule to be ready for #EMFCamp yet.
Would anybody mind if we put it back by a week or two? Can you check your diaries and let me know if the beginning of August is ok for you?
Thanks. See you all then.

The Toslink coupler won't arrive until tomorrow, but I can listen to my music just fine right now.
Well, with just hours to go, my self-imposed deadline to launch the RC2014 Zed Mini has been accomplished!
Now live on z80kits (shipping from Thursday), along with technical details and assembly guide on the #RC2014 website

I'm really pleased with how this kit turned out. There's such a lot crammed in to the Mini form factor, and with a 5 slot backplane on top it can be a real powerhouse!
With the sudden realisation that #EMFCamp is, er, a week closer than it felt, I think I'd better knuckle down and get some more prep done...
I'm thinking I might take my #RC2014 Pro Pride along to keep my Viewdata terminal company, so on tonight's stream we're going to try speedrunning a PCB design to help them work together. If that sounds like your sort of nonsense, it'll be at https://twitch.tv/baljemmett from 2130 BST (about half an hour from now).
