To be super nerdy about it (in case anyone is remotely interested), there's still a lot of ultra-efficient ZX81 coding techniques in the BASIC parts of the application - lots of integer numbers replaced by mathematical operators because those save a byte or two in RAM.

I've done a lot of new work stuff, which I'm pleased about, but the thing that's given me most *satisfaction* is reconstituting a working microdrive cartridge version of a very old word processing application for the Sinclair Spectrum 48K with all it's utilities and example files 🤓

Day 1 of #SCEWC24, a happy hunting ground for new practice and applications of digital technologies in service of urban development, sustainability and usability :)

Really like the zero waste efforts of the organisers & minimal material use - it even extends to the conference lanyards 👍
