Did you write code for #Psion machines in the #80s and #90s?
We're calling for you to open source your code!
I'm working with a group of enthusiasts, building a library of information about the SIBO/EPOC16 platform. Your old code could give valuable insight, as well as encourage people to write new code.
We're especially interested in old C and #x86#assembly.
Upload it to your public repository of choice, and set it free!
Can we all just sit here and gaze upon this mastery by Rick Parks in 16 colors? No scanning, done by hand in Deluxe Paint on an Amiga. It's almost photographic in its perfection.
Rick worked at Westwood Studios and worked on Eye of the Beholder I & 2, Dune 2, Kyrandia and other classics.
Rick died in 1996. His incredible creativity lives on.

Rick died in 1996, 7 years after creating this image.
It's 2024 and I just bought an S-VHS #VCR along with a standalone #tape rewinder. I'm part of a test group for a #popculture preservation project to digitise and archive #70s, #80s and #90s#TV ads and local news etc. before the tapes deteriorate to the point where they're unusable.
If you're in the UK and you have old home recorded #videotape, let me know!
Still have no idea how to get followers on #mastodon. Teach me your ways! Follow me if you like #retrogaming, #80s / #90s#nostalgia, #tech / #cyber related stuff, and #dog pics! Keep me away from Twitter, I beg of you.
"The feeling is definitely there. It's a new morning in America... fresh, vital. The old cynicism is gone. We have faith in our leaders. We're optimistic as to what becomes of it all. It really boils down to our ability to accept. We don't need pessimism. There are no limits."...
If you feel like your #Mastodon interactions have dried lately and are looking for new interactions, I'd be happy to oblige if you like posting about any of -
