That's my Sunday radio listening sorted although not keen on Goodybags doing the top 40 instead of Bruno.

Dear @wessex-water.bsky.social I thought a hosepipe ban was still in operation in Somerset? #WessexWater #HosepipeBan

I do remember seeing it WH Smith when I used to by The Maplin Magazine, but like you I couldn't justify buying it. There's quite a lot of speculation regarding Channel 5, high definition wide screen TV and CD-i. What a Life's always a good laugh.

They're even randomising their classes so that you can't easily block sections: <h2 type="normal" class="ssrcss-89o2pv-Heading e10rt3ze0">More on this story</h2> Where "More on this story" may have noting to do with the original story whatsoever.

I've come across a #BBC #BASIC program called UnImg written by J.G.Harston in 2017, but I've no idea what it does or where I got it from.

Why are the 4th-6th paragraphs repeated, is that a sign it is "written" by AI?

@avavsystems.bsky.social Remember the Nimbus CD2X disc?
Nimbus Technology and Engineering of Monmouth has developed a double-density CD with twice the playing time of a conventional disc. The system, known as CD2X, is based on the use of a special mastering lathe developed by Nimbus and Dr. Jonathan Halliday. Its longer playing time has been made possible by reducing the pit size, track pitch (from 1.6microns to 1.2microns) and reading speed (by a factor of 1.4). Despite these changes the new discs can be read by a conventional red laser. Nimbus says that CD2X discs can be played by some of today's CD decks, though with some of the newer ones the optical system will need to be tweaked to focus on the smaller pits.
CD2X is seen primarily as a replacement for VHS and the LaserDisc. Nimbus has developed a small video adaptor box that plugs into a CD player's digital output socket. It contains a video expansion chip, type CL450, developed by C-Cube Microsystems. This is used to decode the MPEG-compressed video signal from the disc. Nimbus says that some players may have the chip built into them. The new discs will play around two and a quarter hours' of video with FM quality sound. Picture quality is claimed to be better than that of VHS. The playing time can be reduced to 75 minutes, offering wide-screen, broadcast-quality pictures. An additional bit will have to be added to the sub-code to tell the player that the disc is an LP one (today's machines recognise playing times only up to 99 mins 59 secs).
Nimbus is confident that CD2X will be accepted by video companies but doesn't expect music companies to market LP audio discs. CD2X could also be used to store more Photo CD pictures, and can be used as a CD-ROM to store up to 1.2GB of data. The new system doesn't provide interactive operation and is therefore not seen as a rival to CD-I. CD2X discs could be on sale within a year.
Nimbus has also developed quadruple-density discs, known as CD4X, but these require the use of a blue laser and are more expensive to produce.
