Like, I drove 655.5km (407mi) in the last three days (Galway-Waterford-New Ross-Dublin-Galway). It's certainly possible in an electric, probably 66% of this was on 120kph (75mph) motorways using cruise control. Ireland might be half the size of WA, still possible to drive a fair distances here.

This Radharc pick up truck this evening made at least two dangerous overtaking attempts and threw gum and beeped at me @irishcycle 212-G-1294

A photo I took in the Nottingham Castle museum last week. That's pretty much summing up my attitude to this so called "AI" (LLMs are actually just a niche of the wider field of AI).

Looking forward to Roller Derby training this evening! I have to drive 250km for it, because there is no local team anymore! 🛼

Inspired by @helpcomputer0.bsky.social I wanted to check out the ZX Spectrum palette support of the CharPad C64 Pro editor! It seems to work quite well and the raw screen format is the same on both systems. I should stop procrastinating and do something constructive now.

Some more experiments in 8-bit isometric graphics with CharPad Pro. Trying to mock up a dungeon crawler. Using multi color character mode this time. The colours are more restricted, but you can be clever and achieve very nice results.

More experiments with isometric graphics sets for the C64! It's impressive what can be done even with the built in VIC graphics modes!

Some more experiments in making isometric maps for the Commodore 64. Trying out some detailing in Multi Colour Bitmap Mode. Less restrictions on colour use.

If a state moves to criminalise your very existence and your ability to freely and equally partipate in society, then the state has broken the social contract and you have no reason to abide by the laws of that state any longer. It's time to fight.
