I guess it's time for a reintroduction!
Software developer from South Wales. Used to be a physicist, always will be one at heart. Got a PhD and everything.
Also a musician (violin/fiddle).
Recently dived into the Teletext enthusiast world, and fused that with Trek on my very own Teletext service!

Checked in on the latest tape going through the teletext recovery setup, and discovered I was capturing teletext from the VBI while teletext was also in-vision on Pages From Ceefax. Very meta.
(Yes, I'll rewind when it's done and capture that, too, before you ask.)

"The massive discount coupon we emailed you - that you haven't used and can't actually use on anything you've wanted to buy recently as it only applies to the things we stock and supply directly (which seems to only be about 10% of what's actually on our website) - is about to expire, hurry!"

Why is nobody asking if “severe” rain is over diagnosed when it is part of natural weather variation? Instead of flood warnings, people should be helped to find dignity through labour with a compassionate approach to getting those in a temporarily submerged lifestyle back into the workforce.

Did you know there was an official #NFL #teletext service here in the UK (in 1991 at least)?
Even though this page is from late July, I still thought it was a nice coincidence that I recovered it from videotape in close proximity to this year's #SuperBowl.

I am now a mobile phone repairer (sort-of)!
The new power button set arrived from AliExpress, but the cameras, screen, battery, and antenna all had to be disconnected, and the motherboard entirely removed, in order to get to the buttons to replace them.
But my phone has survived the experience!

Teletext's Ten To One is next on my radar.
Are there any other Bamboozle-style quizzes you know of, that could be template-ized?

Decided to add an engineering page to Nemetext, partly for amusement, partly to genuinely keep track of which frequencies to avoid when setting my UHF modulators so I don't get interference.

OK, I joined UpScrolled (jamienemeth). Already here and on Mastodon and Signal. What other Meta/X alternatives should I look into?
Trying to reduce the number of socials I'm on, but also recognising the need to be ahead of the shockwave if/when the big ones implode, and diversifying just in case.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Finally plucked up the courage to try out the hot air station I bought in...*checks notes*...Feb 2024 😮
Getting this newfangled glued-on back off this old phone was disconcerting, but I did it. Now waiting for a £4 power/volume button replacement part.
If I pull this repair off, I'll be chuffed!

Made this meme ten years ago. Still true.
Typos are forgivable. We're all human. It just baffles me how anyone could interact with the text in their graphic designs quite so much - font choice, colouration, shape, kerning, etc. - and still not notice that they'd missed entire words out sometimes.

In beta - the Teletext Archive Online Recovery Editor! Soon you'll be able to fix all those VHS errors you see in recoveries. It's therapeutic and addictive! There is an approval process in place to keep things right; a context menu for cut/copy/paste and editing attributes, and clip art library

I'm very much a fan of baskets in the middle of the store. It's perfect for the thing we all do, which is to assume we definitely won't need a basket, then we subsequently realise halfway through our shop that we really should have picked up a basket, and bam, there they are, just when we need one!
