Based on various screen captures, it appears to say: "FAST ACCESS (50 BIT) DRUM STORE TYPE RM 15" But that doesn't bring up anything useful. So I'm guessing a constructed prop rather than a real bit of kit?

In the 1973 Doctor Who story "The Green Death" - the BOSS computer is made from bits of the SHADO HQ from UFO. I'm trying to find out if it is a real bit of an computer, or just a model. Any ideas? UFO from catacombs.space1999.net/plus/dt/cen2... (More details in the thread.)

Tickled that the Government of Thailand's domain is .go.th! And they're running a campaign for "boi.go.th" Wonder if they'd let me register trashbat.goth?

It is a pity the BSky website isn't open source - because I would *love* to report some bugs!

Holy shit! Most of tomorrow is going to be NEGATIVE pricing for electricity. Literally being paid to soak up extra electrons. Might cook Xmas dinner a day early 😂

Apparently I didn't properly code my eink screen for *negative* pricing 😅 On the plus side, right now electricity is costing me zero pounds, zero shillings, and zero pence. Might roast some potatoes just for the hell of it 😉 (We both get £50 if you join Octopus share.octopus.energy/metal-dove-988)

I built an eink display to show today's dynamic electricity prices. As you can see, prices spiking starting around 1600. Hopefully my solar panels are charging the battery right now. (Join Octopus and we both get £50 share.octopus.energy/metal-dove-988 )

From a Korean friend:

The British are almost exactly the same as the Japanese. Clumped together on a little island they evolved a labyrinthine class system of arcane social codes and shibboleths to create private space. They're fatalistic, act polite to the point of cold insincerity, work too much, and are borderline alcoholic. They like cats because they reflect their antisocial mesopredatory nature's, and every now and again will flock together and invade another country so they can stretch their legs, whereupon the open space makes them go mad and they massacre everything. Then they go home and write excellent poetry about it.
