Actually, salmon pink and slate blue.

Alternative four colour palettes on the #bbcmicro that yield the same six secondary #colours when dithered.

@danielaconte Its, not “it’s”.

I would have expected a crab museum to be the one place I was safe from being lectured to about British colonialism.

Notice how shift, caps lock and tab are given unintelligible symbols instead of names; other names are needlessly abbreviated. The layout makes it virtually impossible to orient your fingers by touch or colour. The whole design is a masterclass in obscurantism and overcomplexity.

MacBook keyboard rage. Copy: Command-C. Bash recall: Control-R. Page up: fn-up. You need hash? Good luck with that. #bbcmicro

@modernhistory I can’t be sure but it looks as though someone scribbled all over his body with biro. Maybe it was a prank.

What happened to Tom Hardy?

The vivid colours in this Ron Embleton painting from the closing credits of #captainscarletandthemysterons suit the limited palette of the #bbcmicro.

I have always been very interested in the death of meaning; that's why I joined the C standard committee. Within a couple of generations, the meaning of #thomasthetankengine's lamp (freight train stopping at intermediate stations) has died through ignorance and incuriosity.

One of the best Biggles stories, if not the best, no doubt partly inspired by the exploits of Laurence of Arabia, whom the author first rejected (for giving a false name) and then inducted into the fledgling Royal Air Force about one hundred years ago. youtube.com/watch?v=r5n5Xr…

Don Quixote or Don Trump? ”There are windmills in America. There are windmills down in Spain. There are windmills from Australia to East Cheam: We've got windmills everywhere.” youtube.com/shorts/mCqjGOL…

“Heading North” by @PeteTuffrey, reimagined as #retroart for the #bbcmicro

#bbcmicro version of #retroart by Eric Cubizolle (original version was for the #cpc464 ). The BBC has higher vertical resolution (useless here) but fewer colours.
