I’m there already!

Has anybody tried this on ao486 (MiSTer)?

I found that my colleague had stuck it on an i5 today.

Yeah, same. I set it up as it looked like the best way to control my inverter - I wanted to set it to charge from the grid when electricity was free, and discharge during saving sessions without having to do it manually. I then expanded to trying to calculate how much charge I needed overnight in cheap rate based on the solar forecast for the next day…

Anyway, I now have everything on it and keep thinking of things to add.

I don’t think I’ve ever used Dear to start an email; always Hi for as long as I remember.

I don’t like To, it always seems like a command rather than a greeting. I write it on cards and stuff but it always leaves a niggling feeling of wrongness.

If it calls for 200g of aubergine, then you can weigh that at the shop… It’s more convenient at that end, and you can get the right amount.

Depends what it is. In this instance I was buying cups of fruit, how many cups are there to a punnet? I already have the weight on the packaging, so if I know the weight I need it’s much easier.

I’m amazed they are that uncommon. Here (UK) you can walk into a supermarket and pick them up for less than £20.

Some good answers here, thanks everyone, I’ve learnt some stuff today. 🙂

Not quite the same as Stones and Kilogrammes are both units of weight. Using cups is like weighing somebody using those luggage size baskets in the airport.

Yeah, that’s the sort of thing which worries me. I suppose if it’s a recipe which doesn’t need precise measurements it doesn’t matter.

The Microvitec M1438 is the one I remember always being recommended.

I never stopped bookmarking. Type a word and usually the browser will find that long lost page from the bookmarks.

dump1090 comes with a webpage showing which aircraft it is currently tracking, although I suspect the maps don’t run offline.

I think that was quite common in that era - probably from typewriters which had a shift lock rather than a caps lock (as due to the mechanical nature it isn’t possible to shift just the alphabetic characters on a typewriter). Commodore used Shift Lock on their computers pre-Amiga (also it was a physical clicky button, which is the most satisfying thing ever).

btw I asked the author of this to enable the ActivityPub plugin before Christmas, so you can follow this blog on Mastodon now (should also work on other microblogging platforms, although Mbin and probably Kbin don’t seem to want to find it, and Mastodon seems a bit temperamental) at; @amigaos4gaming.wordpress.com@amigaos4gaming.wordpress.com

Yep, that’s kind of what I was expecting this to be, but it’s just an anonymous looking black box.

I was hoping it would look like an A600.
