Skipping Rope Hack

I was looking forward to chilling out tonight and doing a very light workout with my skipping rope, and the best of Hip-Hop 1994 playlist. I was all really to go as Big L (R.I.P) – ‘Devils Son’ blasted out the laptop but then I realised that I had left my skipping rope at the gym. Gutted… 😦

But…  I found some spare washing line in the cupboard… interesting.. a few minutes with a few empty biro pens, some masking tape and a jar of Vaseline, I had a fully functional skipping rope, just as good as the one I left at the gym.

True hacking spirit Get in! 😀

Just a great PC demo

Love this demo. Lots of dots.

C64 Demo Scene is still strong

I was moving the Amiga and C64 this week and couldn’t resist a little peak on youtube just to see if there where any new C64 demos. Well, seems the demo scene is still strong. Booze Design, Fairlight and Offence still killing it in 2013. Can’t believe these guys are still going I think some them started out somewhere around 1988. These demos are so much effort, artwork, design and sound is fantastic all round. The SID chip is still pumping, I cant see it ever sounding old, Yannes created a monster there.

64k RAM SYSTEM?? 16 COLOURS? and 3 CHANNEL SOUND?  – Shut the front door!

I’ve only started watching 30 Rock

My girlfriend told me about this show and it’s fantastic, but you already knew that. Seems  I’m the last one to find out about it and the awesome Dr.Spaceman ( pronounced spa-chem-men) If you’ve not seen it, I highly recommend it.

I win!

We fix mac delivered me a fine screen and now my iPhone is working and Blue!

iPhone screen

iPhone screen developed a spot that couldn’t be touched so I replaced it with this screen, offa eBay. It’s a total dud. Annoyed as its pure frustration to replace… Oh well, replace I shall.

Movies

Movie night is going to be great… just as soon as I delete J.Edgar.
