Don't want it at all at all ayatollah at all

Yep - the Psion 5mx is a very worthy class-topper - I have an Ericsson MC218 which is a 5mx clone, and very nice. Chipped a little piece off the case yesterday, which has made me sad. But I've had to learn that "never let a friend handle it" lesson previously too...

My amazing friend Prof AJ McKnight closing a wonderful #RareDiseaseNI conference for patients, carers, families, professionals, researchers, policymakers, here at the beautiful Ebrington Hotel in #DerryLondonderry #RareDisease #Research

Beautiful! Amid very worrying times globally. We're very fortunate on our wee island.

I have a strict rule for SciFriday: I promote the good, the unusual, and the mind-bending. I don’t punch down. But today, I’m punching up.

A screenshot from the MS-DOS version of Barbarians, showing off the palette. The thick forest shows the various autumnal shades this palette is capable of through dithering: purples, oranges, browns, and various shades of green.

My #ibmpc #gamedev projects use C. The graphics were based on the version for the Psion Revo, but the 4-greyscale monochrome graphics were recoloured in the most colourful or gaudy of #cga palettes. cyningstan.itch.io/barbarians-dos

I drew this a load of years ago for a #RareDisease event - as it's #RareDiseaseDay tomorrow, it seems a good opportunity to roll it out again. #Genetics #Genomics #RareDiseases

Let's bring back this lost (🤣🤣🤣) form of image generation. We can all be cartoonists if we want to. Something to draw with, something to draw on, something to draw about. It doesn't have to be "good". Let's see what ya got, Bluesky. #Art

I have been slowly uploading some original screen print/painting mash ups to the sales page on my site.
Many of these pieces I am loathe to part with but I need to make space in the new studio to make new art.

Surely the fact that for over ten years now people have argued at various elections about how to tactically vote means it's time to take removing FPTP seriously?

What's interesting is that while there was a lot of tactical voting going on (which is 100% legitimate and I applaud), no matter what way this would have been cut, Reform would have lost. Which is excellent, but it demonstrates the need for STV in Westminster elections.

"Sectarian"? Do these Telegraph and Reform cretins even know the meaning of the word? Or any words? The message for Labour here is that they need to introduce the Single Transferable Vote.

Ericsson MC218

I'm using my Ericsson MC218 (clone of Psion 5mx) every day! Love it 🥰

Psion 5mx, the pda of the 90s. It’s very useful, perhaps even today. Has a usable keyboard. Runs a full month on a pair of AA batteries! The 90s hi-res 4 gray shades LCDs aren’t the most legible. Backlight helps a bit. Did you have one? Like it or exchange it to something else of the same period?

They really should do this for the Psion 3mx...
