y’know I kinda enjoyed the whole pain of making a USB booter for that ancient Mac Pro. Not the trip to Currys for a USB 2.0 memory stick so much, but it has reminded me to keep on top of that stuff a bit more. Yes.

got it because early HKs have this circuit design glitch where the headphone output control ALSO attenuates the line outputs, meaning YOU CAN USE THIS DIRECTLY INTO A POWER AMP \m/

This, otoh, is where a satan’s toilet of a bowl was located. Filled in by a concerned Stevenage Borough Council as too dangerous. It was one of those tight little ‘8ft of vert can’t swing a cat’ things. If you got in you couldn’t get out again. Needs excavating!

last night’s outage on the WCML, gave me time to check out the Bowes Lyon skatepark in Stevenage (1978). This halfpipe was special for the time, actually skateable instead of ‘survivable‘ and hinting at flat-bottomed vert halfpipes of the ‘80s.

Aye.
A clipping of an editorial from The Sun newspaper:
THE SUN SAYS
Town of shame
FOUR years after the IRA bomb, the Tories bravely return to Brighton.
But in a local newspaper poll, 73 per cent of Brighton people say the Tories are no longer welcome.
Many claim that the extra security infringes civil liberties.
The liberty to plant a bomb unhindered?
Brighton has become a nasty town of drugs, gays, AIDS and drunks. With a Left-dominated council whose mayoress once refused to curtsy for Royalty.
If they took a poll in Brighton about the Second Coming of Christ, that would probably get a No vote, too.
