David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 06/08/2026Dear BBC. (Is @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social the only BBC Bluesky account?) I'm begging you to hire a copyeditor. I promise you that they don't have to have gone to STANFORD. (Only one "D".) Since you clearly don't have one, anyone who knows how to use a spell check would be a cheap start. 000
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 16/07/2026Come to the Vintage Computer Festival West in Mountain View, California, and see cool British computers, and my custom teletext magazine! The Computer History Museum, August 1-2, 10-5pm vcfed.org/events/vinta... 062
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 23/02/2026Happy Birthday Link, The Legend of Zelda is 40 years old today. I was 6. A bit disappointing that Nintendo hasn't done anything to celebrate, I guess? 000
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 25/12/2025@ashens.bsky.social Good morning. Merry Christmas. All these years, still excellent. 000
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 06/11/2025I think mine is a little newer than yours. Only single deck, but it does have Dolby S and it still works great, although I have had to replace the belts and a couple of capacitors. 040
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 01/10/2025I happened to have a spare Mac so now I can archive Computer Chronicles tapes even faster with my new Dedicated Digitization Station. 020
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 24/09/2025Watching (and capturing) a previously “lost” episode of Computer Chronicles. 519116
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 01/07/2025Here we are standing on the actual horse from that cover. (Not that you can really see it in this photo.) 010
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 21/04/2025I get my news mostly from the radio. Trumps comments about the death of the pope sounded reasonable, if delivered in his usual unprofessional style, but hearing it on the radio hid the fact that he was standing on the White House balcony next to person wearing a giant easter bunny costume. WTF. 000
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 19/04/2025Really great night seeing Kraftwerk at the Berkeley Greek Theater. Best live group? 030
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 18/04/2025The incredible Econet Elite by @markmoxon.bsky.social - I hope to be demonstrating this at VCF-West, August 1-2 in the SF Bay Area. Come along! vcfed.org/events/vinta... 220
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 28/03/2025Apple Intelligence summary did a surprisingly good job. Although turning "person" into a kind of legal magic word is what the Sovereign Citizens do, so he's clearly one of them. 030
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 05/03/2025"The world isn't run by weapons anymore, or energy, or money. It's run by little ones and zeroes, little bits of data. It's all just electrons." Ben Kingsley is a treasure. 000
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 06/02/2025Just so you know, Reddit won’t show me that without a login. 100
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 23/01/2025Delighted to discover that my new car* will play multichannel audio files correctly in up to 7.1 surround. Sounds amazing! * Not a Tesla. 000
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 09/01/2025...and the weather guy has the "LIVE MEGADOPPLER 7000HD"... ! Surely the greatest of all the dopplers. 000
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 09/01/2025The LA fires are awful. From up here in the bay area we've been streaming ABC7 on YouTube to see what's happening. ...and I just want to say how amazing ABC7 is. Their helicopter camera can overlay street names on the image, in real time. Wherever the camera points, the street names line up. 100
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 03/01/2025Meta's new "official" AI-generated profiles have started to appear. It's so dystopian. I have no idea why they're doing this. What is the point of a social network if the people on it aren't actually people? 000
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 13/12/2024Apple's "image playground" refuses to create pride flags, or any variation on that theme. 000
David Glover-Aoki @davidga.me · 18/11/2024Have you ever noticed that the "Countdown" clock actually counts up? 000
