They ruined it. The audience figures said it all.

I think the choice of actors was even more to blame than the terrible woke storylines and overdose of CGI

I just built a VR/AR Orac.
If only I could use that original voice. Then you could have a fully working version and able to ask it anything.

That beeb will keep going for another 40 years

It also has a beep. Im trying to write a sequencer. Let's face it the BBC micro had much less and we did amazing things with it! The res of this is 128x128. Let's see how far I can push it.
Coding with A.I to me is fun and takes the drudgery away. I do think Arduino should be easier tho. It's bitty

I think it's a memory limit as once you load micropython in and the codeblocks gubbins there is no room for the spare screen. Not sure about other modules. I will work with the limitations. You can get flicker free but you have to go C++ and Arduino IDE. It's fun to use AI to code a game for it.

Wow it really looks like it I can hear the Eno chime

I've had 2 really bad bugs in the last 3 weeks. This one at the moment is awful. More than a cold.
It's grey....constantly raining..all the time
I often think maybe it makes me more productive..I stay in more...in the summer I'm doing less computer stuff sitting in the sun....so it has a flip side

You can't stop the change. It's here and it's going ahead regardless!

I spoke to a veteran programmer of 50 years. He said he hasn't written a line of code in the last 6 months.
Cursor AI is so stunning

Just been watching Tron 1982 again.
What went wrong with the last 2012 Tron. I keep banging on but the last one was like fast food. Too slick.
The 1982 one is slower paced and just more thought out. Maybe it's because it's hand drawn in parts. It's simple.
Let's hope the next one is better.

Keep going. We don't see many games on Aframe.

I nearly lost a whole weekend of work. Godot.
I didn't realise if you copy it to gmail it strips out the formatting. If you do that then you are ****** No A.I can bring it back.
That was a hard lesson to learn. The sarcasm didn't help on the Godot discord from people.

Right! It's very clever isn't it. That guy is an ace Microbotter. Him and Paul Marlin! Where are you Paul ...we want more Microbot stuff!
Those telescope images Paul did in Microbot were just astonishing. Respect Geoff and Paul!
