After repairing a bunch of old oscilloscopes, I melted down the failed wax capacitors and made up scented candles.

And the final scores of the weekend! A young chap by the name of Ben came along and just smashed all the highscores set by us old timers - except the astonishing Flagon Bird high score of 64 set by Nicholas @sharpworks.bsky.social Jr.

Poor thing's practically choking to death, so we're not gonna score it on musical ability, but that is basically, near as damnit, nobody's actually counting, 14 channels of music from a zeddy. Job done.

Progress on the Phillips SAA 1099 soundchip. Wrote a minute loop that will be expanded to a full song. The 6 channels on this thing are awesome. Having two noise channels is really handy for percussion. I'm learning as I go so I'm still exploring the possibilities. #retrocomputing

I remember reading INPUT magazine back in the 80s, typing in programmes. And now that idea is back but for little web things! I am rather chuffed to have been invited to be part of this, DOCTYPE. It's a little bit of joy, which is what I think the web ought to be in the business of helping create.
🚀 NEW MAGAZINE ⌨️
Back in the ’80s there were printed mags of BASIC programs to type in, we’ve brought that back but for web pages!
10 amazing games, toys, puzzles and utilities, no coding knowledge needed

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

The “Inktober for ZX Spectrum” challenge inspired lots of great, inventive and witty pixel art. Best enjoyed on the real thing of course; next-best is CRT Retro’s Beyond Nostalgia writeup with their customarily gorgeous Trinitron photography:
