Got to admire the testicles on this guy.

He represented himself in a deportation hearing, pleaded guilty and asked for voluntary deportation and so they sent him to Ecuador.

Looking around for printer toner earlier and guessing the manufacturer may not have thought about the company name.

Today's movie viewing was "Song Sung Blue".

A true life story that plays more as a Country and Western disaster record by Red Sovine, all set to Neil Diamond songs - what's not to like.

Even my eldest enjoyed it.

Muhammad Ali was almost universally liked, but his brother, Brock, was particularly disliked by children.

This is the latest build of the WIP Atari STE game I am now provisonally calling "Cavey Taxi".

Pick up passengers in a tight cave complex and drop them off elsewhere, fighting gravity, time and fuel consumption. With pretty parallax scrolling and particle systems.

What's not to like? 😀

I've just released fully documented source code for The Sentinel as an easy-to-browse website.

It's a lot more fun to explore than the GitHub repository, with cross-references, popups, indexes, statistics and more.

Enjoy!

Looks very much like gravitic mines on the Jaguar, which isn't a bad thing :)
First signs of gameplay in this new Atari STE project - joystick left and right rotate the ship and up activates the thrusters. Gravity pulls the ship downwards.

The particle system is looking really nice - there aren't nearly enough ST/Amiga era games with particle systems. 😀

Currently listening to Boom radio. They are doing a 70 years of ITV show, hosted by Jenny Hanley.

How times have changed... (they've just got to the newscaster section and how the vox pops etc originated).

Welsh mythology speaks of the monstrous Gwiber. It had the ability to live both on land and in the water, an ability which it put to good use by terrorizing local folk and eating their livestock. This is the first time one has been captured on film, in Rhyl..
