Good job, Raspberry Pi Foundation/Broadcom, Inc.
(I helped set it up, wrote one of the first lessons in Scratch for the curriculum, and was on the board but resigned, along with one of the co-founders, when the other co-founder courted Google. We’d already had disagreements as we didn’t want Prince Andrew as a patron…) 🤷♂️

I found a bad solder joint and after reflowing it (and every other one on the board while I was at it) and the Osborne CRT seems to be fixed! I love this cute ascii art “self portrait” in the help on the system floppy


In other news, I finally finished shooting the new video I promised some days ago. It’s going to take another day or two to edit and release. Sorry for the delay, I was a bit slower than I anticipated. I didn’t quite brush off the global news as well as I thought and had some sleepless nights and unproductive mood swings. Back on track now. ✊

I've been looking at some "classic" forum software a few weeks ago, mostly centered on the bigger players in the PHP sector (PhpBB, SMF etc.), but noticed recently that there's a plethora of variants of the "Acmlmboard" software (used, apparently, a lot in console game circles).
Anyone have experiences with that?
