On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me: two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. Ate them.

FromFB: Man made Diamonds are virtually indistinguishable from natural ones - with the slight flaws in natural ones being the giveaway, and they are common as much elsewhere it seems.

It's only the diamond industry that keeps trying to tell us they're worth as much as they are.

Spectrum Next #Delphian progress: various changes, and it's starting to feel like a game. Controls and movement are now interrupt driven, so it'll always fly at the same speed no matter what the frame rate. Also added a compass and map coordinates, and added some cockpit graphics, but still WIP.

I’ve started adding some precompiled “.nex” demos in the library. I appreciate that not all will have the time to install z88dk to try these out. Just a cube at the moment. Will add more as I continue exploring the capabilities.

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million

In New York - population 8.5 million - there were
391.

London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago.

And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

'Twas the night before Crash, when all through the code
Not a byte was out of place, not even a bit;
The events were refactored with care,
In hopes that a super demo would make people aware; when the Spectrum crashed...
