We own our Psions, we repair our Psions, we use out Psions, we develop our own software and hacks for our Psions, we share our experiences, we daydream of the return of Psions to the mainstream, we think about the ergonomic lessons for development of new tech... #retrocomputing is #permacomputing...

The beautiful old Psion handheld computers remain a classic - retro, yet properly useful in daily life and work. I wouldn't be without mine, and my Discord buddy is writing *new games* for them. There's a hugely supportive community of us nutters - join us! psion.community

That sounds like good advice :-) I may even engage the services of a professional... (sounds obvious now that I type it out like that)

Hmm. Can get it running (badly) with the choke right out, so @leifb73.bsky.social is going to tell me my filter is probably clogged to bejaysus, which is plausible.

There is a local tradition that the Three Sisters was actually at Thompson's Point, which has now been erased and lies under the dual carriageway. It seems more likely that it's the Go Station (who ya gonna call? Go Station!) Grim though.

For one thing, the "Three Sisters" is the Carrickfergus Gallows, where Naoise O'Haughan (the famous highwayman who haunts Knockagh Hill to this day!) and William Orr (United Irishman) were hanged - but this map puts it in a different place to the usual accepted site (currently the Go petrol station)

Smart this, connected that, AI-powered the other... we're on a wingsuit to dystopia. Tech is great - in its place.
