What made you feel good today

[hevans]

WMYFGT Finding out who I trust and who I don't at work, a reasonably painful but worthwhile experience and I'll be having fun with that later    

Trust no one! That's a line from a movie I think... My personal motto ' hunt alone' .  

Especially if it's with Cheney and you're a lawyer.

Met Evan Davies/Davis today at uni, spoke to him briefly- more a-Evans: 'no you can go' Me: 'thanks.' but still, briefly

I entered the Harris Museum Open Exhibition for the first time this year and went along to the opening event. To my supprise one of my entries ( the phone boxes ) was sold on the night even at the inflated price I had put on it to cover the Museums 20% commision. Here are a few pics from the event. Best not tell whoever bought it its half the price direct from me.

Wmmfgt?

Finally having enough space on my twin 80GB HDDs to unrar a very large number of Atari ST disk images (140-ish 97MB rar files!), and then being able to dump the lot onto 4 DVDs.

I'll never need to hunt the internet for anything ST-related... at all!

What are ST related images ?

Back in the good old days of Home Computing an extremely clever man working for Atari developed a computer which became known as an Atari ST.
The same man left shortly after it was produced and went to work for Commodore and helped develop a computer called an Amiga.

They were almost identical machines except the ST was much better at producing music and could often be seen being used by the Techno bands of the time and the Amiga was much better at graphics and was used to generate most of the graphics for early day Babylon 5 episodes (it was also at the heart of the T-Rex car chase in Jurassic Park but the PC guys get rather defensive about that fact because many more PC's were involved as well - well they need many more  ).

They were both far more powerful than the MS DOS or MS Windows based machines of their time but without the MS clout to back them up.

Atari ST succumbed to Apple for its music base and the Amiga had all other areas sewn up - until it also went into obscurity when Commodore self imploded.
RIP Atari ST which really was a ground breaking computer of its time!

So ST is a shortened version of what ?
sit tight ?
some thing?
single take ?

Sixteen thirtytwo.  Really.

The things you can learn on a photography web site!

Back to the images question - they are compressed files of an ST Emulator with a whole array of software.
Just need enough space to decompress them and put them onto CD's after which you can use your current computer as though it were an Atari ST.

Or, if you're like me - you have a genuine Amiga 1200 sitting in your garage with some software. But that's not always possible or practical.

Those were certainly great times, where games were about game play and not graphics. Software developing was about producing 'finished' bug free software and could be done by any one with a bit of time and will to learn and experiment. Computing wise- we will never see the like again.

I remember gaming on a 520ST playing Gauntlet and the very first Simpsons game
