And we all know from our years of experience on forums just how bad people are at providing the required info with their questions to get a useful answer.

It looks like I put a 22kΩ in place of the 330Ω 😲 I had started to work on porting Forth to the 3C, but that took me down a rabbit hole that has resulted in my writing a Forth-like language for the Elliott 803, which is now working nicely :-) I'll get back to the 3C eventually.

I had to do that with mine as well, and also the power led on the back plane for my "big" RC2014 as it was casting annoying shadows on the ceiling :-)

"Indoor play time" today though !

Mine are all CDC BR8A2K (or similar).

Maybe this is the year I'll get around to doing something with the six 8" floppy drives I have! I used to have up to four of them on my Z80 CPM machine but they've been unused for a long time, though I did hook one up to a Pi PICO a few years ago and read a few of the disks I have from back then.

Today I have mostly been watching NCIS Origins Season 1.

Turns out she's a co-producer and writer :-)

I just watched the first episode of Starfleet Academy, and as a Lower Decks fan this caught my eye !

This took much longer than it should have done to get right, even with two sets of eyes on it :-)
: XOR BDUP BROT BDUP BROT NOT AND BROT BROT NOT AND OR B. :,

Another old school development technique that I still use are "railroad diagrams". I generate them using this tool github.com/tabatkins/ra...

It's taken a while, but I've finally got a version of the classic "Lunar Lander" game written in my new "FORTH-like" language running on the Elliott 803.

I wouldn't use a loading coil on a 30m vertical when a λ/4 fits on a 10m fishing rod.

Where is that going to go ?

I assume it wasn't far from the car park if he was lugging a K3 (and suitable battery) about :-)

Oh yeah , Fanta not Tango, 🤦‍♂️

What were tins of TANGO used for then ?

When did TANGO fall out of favour as the currency ?

Ditto

🫣Not what I want to see first thing in the morning 😆

The guy that looks after the PDP-11/73 at the museum writes demos in DIBOL.

Last time I used WordStar was to write my MSc project report on my home brew Z80 CP/M machine 1985 (ish).

Today I Learned (well I expected it anyway) that Google's AI sucks at writing code in Forth ! It didn't even manage to print what it said was the expected result 😆

This is a major mile stone for my new Forth-like language for the Elliott 803 :-)

I do wish organisations would stop send emails that say "See our web site for more details" when the email was just a copy of the information on their web site ? It's not very helpful :-(

Clunky doesn't cover the half of it. They should use it in "How not to design a web site" classes !

Same here, fell at around 2am according to the weather radar.

I'm the same with Hot Fuzz :-)

Having added RECURSE I can now do this in 39th:
: FACTORIAL
DUP 2 LESS IF DROP 1 EXIT THEN
DUP 1 - RECURSE *
:,
15 1 DO I . I FACTORIAL . CR LOOP
You can see the call and data stacks growing and shrinking on the memory display.
