Some amazing work here from @StudioPaeper recreating the iconic BBC 'CoW' ident from the 1980s on my #Quantel HAL Express (from 1995).

I managed to get hold of one of the last Sparc workstations Sun made, the Ultra45. Sun knew this would most probably be the last in the line, so what was Sun's swan song like.

Currently listening to Sunak, announcing he's calling an election on Radio4. In the background somewhere near number 10, someone is very loudly playing "Things can only get better", hats off to who ever you are🤣

Is this the worst portable computer ever made? It may be gorgeous, but I think it is. But if you want to find out why, you'll have to come hear me rant at the @computermuseum the weekend after next - computinghistory.org.uk/det/…
Boris Jonson, the man who gave us Voter id legislation, was turned away from a polling station as he did not bring any photo ID. Yep that just happened tonight.
