Station X

“If you want a picture of ‘the future’, imagine a #VisionPro clamping on a human face – for ever”

Also featuring @longplayer and @theRSGB

Just for the record. Our ‘X’ logo came first ;-) #TwitterX

Off out. When you know you know.

I lost my super lightweight @QuadLockCase tripod mount that is a staple of my #Mojo kit. I missed it that much I’ll be sure to make sure I have a spare in future. youtu.be/ABHiEKWhJbY (I shared this in my weekly email on Documentally.net )

Should we get the gang back together, where could that be?

Every week I curate & publish a multimedia n̵e̵w̵s̵l̵e̵t̵t̵e̵r̵ dispatch. A curious journal about what we share, how we share, and where we’re going. You can sign up for free here -> documentally.net

Whatever the question, fracking is not the answer.

The kind people at @QuadLockCase have sent me some of their #magcase tech to check out & review. [I’ve not had to pay but also have not been paid for my opinion] I’ve bought much of their tech in the past though. I’ll share my findings here and on Documentally.net.

** I might put "no guns" as another requirement for me speaking at tech conferences ** See this festival, where it appears that many artist's concert riders specify "no guns", and the inability of the venue to ban guns meant many artists wouldn't come. Which meant no event.

It is a huge dream of mine to stand in Alan Turing’s office at Bletchley Park. Dream fulfilled. It is so important to computing history.

Listen to some of the strange happenings on HF last night. 80m/3.689MHz. I have an idea what was said but an accurate translation would be much appreciated. #HamRadio

Fun had at the Foxton #Hamr rally.

Getting a shout out in @Documentally's brilliant weekly letter is great, and even better that's while I'm preparing to head to @bletchleypark, which is where I originally met him, @paul_clarke, and a few other extraordinary folks, over a decade ago. #stationX

@Hedgewytch @artpod @Documentally @bletchleypark The last meeting was on the 30th of December 2019 in St Neots. You are right we are overdue another meeting :-)

@artpod @StationX @Documentally @bletchleypark I think I've still got mine somewhere. Must have been 5 years since we last met :(

@StationX @Documentally badge! thank you very much; looking forward to the next @bletchleypark meet-up

@artpod @Documentally @bletchleypark Maybe we should have one every 10 years ;-)

@amandafclark @Documentally @soulcruzer @RadioOperators Station X isn’t dead. It’s in hibernation. It’s hard to get together in a pandemic. I’m sure it will return at some point. In the meantime, nerdy social distancing is easy over the radio. Hence @RadioOperators.

@Documentally Are you running any virtual @StationX meetings?

Happy 81st birthday Clive (G0VNG). Great to chat via GB3JL. Have a great day!

Today in #StNeots there will be a special #RadioComms edition of StationX. If you are into #CBRadio, #PMR, #DMR, #HamRadio etc we’ll be meeting at @ArtSoulStNeots around lunchtime. (Although we haven’t told them yet.)
