Today I finished converting Elite to use sixels. As a result, Teletext Elite now does everything that the original does, just in teletext.
I’ve got to tie up some loose ends, but I hope to release it next weekend. Watch this space!
Outside the bell tower door at St Magnus the Martyr church in #London is this big chunk of Roman wharf timber dating back to 75 AD which they found in 1931. Amazing thing!

Dublin's Turkish Baths which stood on Lincoln Place. Built in 1860, the building was demolished in 1970.
Loved this picture on the front of #Chertsey Museum's Annual report. It was drawn by James Parsons for a "#Literary Links" exhibition held there recently. The rhyme was written by Edward #Lear. I never knew there was so much fascinating #archaeology in the subsoil 😂

Mastodonners.. This is Patch, the studio cat.
Patch loves nothing more than lying amidst the patch cables of a nice warm synth, or maybe stretching out across a vintage keyboard.
Despite appearances, Patch is 100% ruthless (Think Cato/Clouseau but with more scratchy violence)
The studio is hers, obvs, she just lets me use it, if I behave myself and turn on all the nice warm boxes.
Patch prefers ambient & cool jazz. Nothing too loud.

@ajroach42 it's fantastic that such a gem as #mastodon was just waiting in the wings ready to go when #twitter imploded.

😞 I just realized that Elon musk unban Andrew Tate... 🤦🏾♂️ That's one of the worst decisions....Twitter is slightly becoming more and more toxic with this kind of decisions. #riptwitter.
@lizlyricfm Liked your "contact me on Twitter, Instagram and Mastodon" this morning. I listen to Lyric whilst I work from home each day 😌

"One former Twitter engineer likened the service’s current state to Wile E. Coyote, the Looney Tunes cartoon character, as he runs off the edge of a cliff. Though he may still be running in midair for some time, once he looks down, he drops like a stone." https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/18/technology/elon-musk-twitter-workers-quit.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur

I've come on mastodon to share a piece about mastodon, which sounds like the kind of cannibalistic self-referentialism that started mad cow disease https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/nov/16/could-this-be-twitter-without-the-toxic-slurry-my-week-on-mastodon

Trinity College is home to one of the world's most beautiful libraries. Inside is The Long Room, which contains 200,000 historic volumes.

@oldbritishtelly@mastodonapp.uk One of my all-time favourites is Clochemerle [1972], from the novel by Gabriel Chevallier. Thank goodness they released it on DVD a few years ago!
This is such a great story!! 🐕
