My Casio MZ 2000 looked a bit like that what a silver whale that was

The prize for the ugliest keyboard I have ever seen in my 40 years of synthesis is this Panasonic jobbie

I nearly lost a whole weekend of work. Godot.
I didn't realise if you copy it to gmail it strips out the formatting. If you do that then you are ****** No A.I can bring it back.
That was a hard lesson to learn. The sarcasm didn't help on the Godot discord from people.

Yes they are on Mastodon.
I need to get coding again on the beeb again ....

Right! It's very clever isn't it. That guy is an ace Microbotter. Him and Paul Marlin! Where are you Paul ...we want more Microbot stuff!
Those telescope images Paul did in Microbot were just astonishing. Respect Geoff and Paul!

I do wonder when I am lazy if the A.I engines get hacked off when you can't be bothered to retype your text because caps is on

I miss BBC microbot. With all this whizz bang stuff we have now it's the simplicity of it. 160 char programs.
How did Geoff do this in just this code? There is hardly any code!
They are all amazing programmers as far as I am concerned. It still inspires me to fiddle around with it.

I've been mucking around with AI and editing our Telepaint Teletext editor. I got it to edit the BBC basic code and add a robot animation. Before the AI would have failed miserably.
I asked for a planet, spaceship,window and whacky robots. I would have had to import sprites before. Now it codes them

I tried that Meta Hyperscape thing. Amazing. Guassian Splats. What impressed me is that it capture outside the bedroom window - all in VR. How did it detect that space? Incredible.
It reminds me of 'Cold Lazarus'. Memories and photos in VR. That series was ahead of it's time and was prophetic.

Is it me or is everyone skint already at the beginning of February? It was bad enough getting through January.
I need to get some dentures for my back teeth and then the AI is zapping the wallet. But being able to chew food is the priority. Monster munch feels weird with no top left back teeth!

I can't make it - work stuff. I do wish you luck.
However you might get a visit from me one day soon. I have something new to show you. Something very different. From one developer to another !

I finally got AMX 3d Zicon working. This one is the CPC version. I can't get the beeb one to work. Let me know if anyone gets that working. I am on OSX which doesn't help with emulation/AMX
What a great program this was. So much fun trying to make a 3d shape on a mid 80s home computer with no Undo

Cursor AI is totally amazing.
After hearing people talk about it and fiddling with it and giving up I can now understand why everyone goes on about it.
It edits your code so all you have to do is prompt it. No more cutting and pasting. Wish I'd discovered this a year earlier!
Check it out.

The games teacher was brutal in my school in the 80s and made me run around the field without a vest on 'to make a man out of me'. It was like watching Quentin Crisp do a half marathon.

Been trying to write a 3d editor ....nothing too complicated

I like A.I trying the Easter Island heads....teehee...it did the best it can but it's hardly subdivision modelling is it!

Oh god youtube is being flooded with Native Instrument's insolvency videos. "What it means to you".
Dear oh dear. Clickbait crap!

If only A.I knew BBC basic really well. It would be so cool
Having said that it's done a pretty good job of this however basic!

Well I'm not very enamoured with Xcode.
What a pain in the bum to build on that
It's so slow. Then I find my Ipad and Monterey is too old. Ok fair enough I am running an old mac and I can run it in the simulator.

It's just seems very slow to build and run after using javascript which is instant
